DBW Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 43 minutes ago, Iggles_Phan said: Look at you with the physics brain. I am so proud. Just to correct this a little... its really about the time, not the delta-x. It's the impulse-change in momentum relationship - F*delta-t = m*delta-v. Longer time to change the velocity, the less force involved. Force and displacement are related to energy, but ultimately, it's not about the energy, it's about momentum. You are correct though, increasing the delta-x needed to stop the motion also increases the delta-t, which is really the goal. I’m not saying this stuff isn’t look at in the league but I think a lot of it isn’t implemented or utilized appropriately. To over simply though, Siriani explained that they take the 3rd day as a walk through because the league data shows that more soft tissue injuries happen on day 3 of camp than any other day. That’s great use of the data. The leagues answer to all of the concussion data is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conceptually, I always found it easier to think of the distance over which the acceleration changes...but as you said, it's really time. Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't X have a place in there too? X=Vo*t + (1/2)*at^2? With a much larger X and negative acceleration, the magnitude of acceleration would be much less. It would, but momentum is the driving concept here. Displacement, velocity and acceleration are all related to each other and to time as you've shown, but ultimately... it is the impulse-momentum relationship that determines the force. And it is the force that actually matters where concussions are concerned. The distance increasing is what allows for the time to increase, which in turn allows the force to decrease.

Yes, a negotiation where one side (NFLPA) was pushing for less intense practices, etc. And the other side was pushing for more revenue generation, aka more games.

If it wasn't for his fanbase being so obsessive and forcing a counter argument to bring the fanbase back down to earth, there would probably be far less noise. The defense he is given compared to his production is the uproar most of the time. I don't dislike the kid and hope he does well, but I really do dislike Hurts fans. And there is a difference from eagles fans and hurts fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurts could be a great QB and still never win a Super Bowl - so unless he suddenly develops into a HOF QB he will never be good enough to some of his critics. Which means he has to go no matter what. Many Hurts critics would rather be right than to have the Eagles win - because winning might lead to the Eagles keeping Hurts and that is just unacceptable to them. Many Hurts critics are actively hoping he fails miserably - so that they can tout how smart they are and the Eagles will be forced to move on.

MF POON Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 On 8/5/2022 at 2:18 PM, Iggles_Phan said: Ok. Name an example of a QB who makes a deep playoff run without the stats and was 'the guy' the following year with that team. Trent Dilfer won the SB with the Ravens, didn't have the stats and was gone the next season. Jimmy G, as has already been pointed out, is a guy that SF has been trying to replace for years. Can you name one? What you are suggesting is the OPPOSITE of the odds you are portraying. In the NFL, the QB has to both win in the playoffs AND put up stats while doing so... and frankly, many times, they will even take the stats over the wins when push comes to shove and contract time rolls around... see also, Prescott, Dak, Murray, Kyler, Cousins, Kirk, etc. Stats are what gets QBs paid in the NFL. Very very very few QBs get the chance to improve on their stats even after a playoff run, because the team usually sees the QB without the stats as the piece that held them back from going even further, and they do whatever they can to fix the QB position while the other pieces are in place around that position. (or have you not been watching what's happened recently in the NFL with the QB movement... Brady, Stafford, Wilson, Watson, etc.?) Peyton Manning. He even won a SB twice with mediocre stats. Anyway, Hurts wouldn't have to put up huge stats in the playoffs to stay, he'd just have to actually win games in order to remain. As long as he isn't turning the ball over a lot, he could effectively get by with his legs in the postseason, as long as it lead to success.

You are telling me that the third most prolific passer in NFL history (#1 when he retired) didn't have the stats? Yes, in his final year of his Hall of Fame career, in which the Broncos won the Super Bowl, he was cooked... and he walked off into the sunset with a second Lombardi. And, since he didn't return after that Super Bowl, I'd argue he wasn't given another shot at the QB position. As for earlier years in his career... I just have no idea what you are talking about. He went over 4k passing yards in Year 2 of his career, and every year of his career (except 2005), until that final year. And in 2005, which they won the Super Bowl, he still had the highest Passer rating in the league. So, while his total stats were down a little (an anomaly for his career, he led the league in yards per attempt, TDs and passer rating the year before) and was still at the top of the league in terms of passer rating. As for the last bolded piece... how many QBs get by in the postseason with their legs (successfully)? Very, very few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't disregarded everything the QB does in the regular season. That was the whole point. 🤦♂️. Hurts wasn't good enough in the regular season this past year. They got in to the playoffs because the NFL expanded the tournament to make more money and they proved that they didn't belong, in large degree because the QB was out of his depth. If Hurts puts up really good numbers this year... and has a deep playoffs run, then he wouldn't qualify as one of the players I referred to. I specifically mentioned Trent Dilfer, who was god-awful that year with the Ravens. They set an NFL record for most consecutive game without an offensive TD being scored, and despite that, still won the Super Bowl. And he was dismissed. 1 minute ago, MF POON said: I'm not wrong.
