I am a good golfer but think the free throw is the easiest to execute

Under the assumption that you're picking among the best players for each scenario, the answer with the highest conversion rate on average would be the 25-yd FG. It's something like 97% at that distance. 

If it's asking about what you would choose personally, then it would depend if the FG is contested or not. If not, I'll take the FG. If contested, I like my chances better with the FT.

Possible, but I think he'll shine more on D than on ST.

I will take anything that lights a fire under the STs, where backups must play to justify being active, especially facing Turpin on Christmas Eve

Pro golfers make around 75 percent of six foot putts. NBA players make around 77 percent of free throws. Pro soccer players make around 77 percent of penalties. 

The make rate for a field goal of 25 yards is over 90 percent. 

So from that perspective, the field goal is definitely the easiest if you had time to prepare (and can kick a ball.) 

But strapping on full gear and running into a game cold is probably the hardest one, and i think it would be almost impossible for an amatuer to make a penalty against a decent pro keeper. 

The putt and the free throw seem like a wash. If you play a lot of basketball, the free throw is obviously easier. If you play a lot of golf, you probably want the putt.

If you are athletic enough to even try the pk or field goal, you are probably much more likely to make the free throw than either of those. 

 

Turner is a great signing. Phils biggest offensive needs this year was a SS and leadoff hitter. Turner is arguably the best available (and maybe even overall) at both.  I don't get the complaints.

Longsnap… good luck.

An update to the season predictions. Roughly half are eliminated

I like @The Blackfish’a prediction the most

That's a lot of words when you could have just said "I'm a hater"  

Turner is a top 15 player, at any position, in the league.  Maybe even top 10.  Hits for average, gives you 20 and 40, and scores a ton of runs.  

Sounds like you in your ripped pantyhose on the street corner with blowies and handies Lipstick Larry!

Oof Gainwell

I'm surprised that only two people picked us to have a losing record.

Blankenship starting with Epps at some point. Uhhh. Yeah. Everyone knew that.

This was done before the season started. Before cuts even, so it wasn't even a lock he'd make the team yet.

I’m genuinely surprised no on picked more wins than me. It seemed obvious with the schedule, but damn that Fing Matt guy for going with a tie

Other one. I keep yours lower case to not get confused. 

Bad move on his part IMO.  Only thing he really proved this year is he's a still a huge risk reward guy.  No idea what to expect of him.  I'm sure some team will take a chance on him earlier than they should.

He's ready.  He went 9-for-27 in his last game.

I'd guess he will be playing TE in the NFL if he can successfully make the conversion. 

@BigEFly is the winner this week with the closest prediction of 31-16 Eagles win. 

Bonus winners go to:

@Alphagrand Brown 2 TD's

@jamiller Henry less than 89 yards

@SkippyX Henry less than 100 yards from scrimmage

@Westbrook#36 Henry less than 80 yards

@Next_Up Sweaty sacks which is @TorontoEagle's favorite kind of sack

 

 

and no @Know Life, Covey did not get to 35 yards

Big game tonight.
