A Statistical History of Pro Football: Players, Teams and Concepts - Paperback
by Rupert Patrick (Author)
Drawing on the author's 30-year study of football statistics, this book presents new methods for analyzing the game in different ways. An examination of known distances for missed field goals offers an accurate method for evaluating placekickers. Reassessments of punters and running backs are included, along with an overhaul of the NFL's passer rating system. Topics previously unexplored through statistics are covered, such as momentum, defining What is a dynasty? and What is a Cinderella team?
