  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 7, No. 5 (1985) THE 1920s ALL-PROS IN RETROSPECT By Bob Carroll Arguments over who was the best tackle – quarterback – placekicker – water boy – will never cease. Nor should they. They're half the fun. But those that try to rank a player in the 1980s against one from the 1940s border on the absurd. Different conditions produce different results. The game is different in 1985 from that played even in 1970. Nevertheless, you'd think we could reach some kind of agreement as to the best players of a given decade. Well, you'd also think we could conquer the common cold. Conditions change quite a bit even in a ten-year span. Pro football grew up a lot in the 1920s. All things considered, it's probably safe to say the quality of play was better in 1929 than in 1920, but don't bet the mortgage. The most-widely published attempt to identify the best players of the 1920s was that chosen by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee in celebration of the NFL's first 50 years. They selected the following 18-man roster: E: Guy Chamberlin C: George Trafton Lavie Dilweg B: Jim Conzelman George Halas Paddy Driscoll T: Ed Healey Red Grange Wilbur Henry Joe Guyon Cal Hubbard Curly Lambeau Steve Owen Ernie Nevers G: Hunk Anderson Jim Thorpe Walt Kiesling Mike Michalske Three things about this roster are striking. First, the selectors leaned heavily on men already enshrined in the Hall of Fame. There's logic to that, of course, but the scary part is that it looks like they didn't do much original research.

  • Drafting NFL Wide Receivers: Hit Or Miss? by Amrit Dhar
    Drafting NFL Wide Receivers: Hit or Miss? By Amrit Dhar I. Introduction The Detroit Lions, an NFL franchise known for regularly fielding poor football teams, attained a cumulative win/loss record of 48-128 from the 2000-2010 seasons. Many football analysts believe that part of their failure to create quality football teams is due to their aggression in selecting wide receivers early in the NFL draft, and their inability to accurately choose wide receivers that become elite NFL players. Over the past decade, they have spent four of their 1st round draft picks on wide receivers, and only two of those picks actually remained with the Lions for more than two years. The Lions represent an extreme example, but do highlight the inherent unpredictability in drafting wide receivers that perform well in the NFL. However, teams continue to draft wide receivers in the 1st round like the Lions have done as the NFL has evolved into a “passing” league. In 2010 alone, 59 percent of NFL play-calls were called passes, which explains the need for elite wide receivers in any franchise. In this report, I want to analyze whether the factors that teams believe are indicative of wide receiver effectiveness in the NFL actually do lead to higher performance. The above anecdote suggests that there is a gap between how NFL teams value wide receivers in the draft and how well they perform in the NFL. By conducting statistical analyses of where wide receivers were chosen in the NFL draft against how they performed in the NFL, I will be able to determine some important factors that have lead to their success in the NFL, and will be able to see whether those factors correspond to the factors that NFL draft evaluators believe are important for success in the NFL.
