For stuff like tackles and yards of any sort, I divide them by how many games the teams played, just to make it fair for players that not many schools will be watching because of the teams record.Late to the game as I just saw this. Pretty Fun stuff! Was just thinking...do you give more credit to kids from schools with better seasons/records? On top of using quikstats to see total tackles for a kid who played in 13 games vs just 9 if his team didn’t do well? Just wondering! We were talking around the breakfast table and the question came up. “Wait a minute. If they already give the kid props with a higher ranking if his school advanced to playoffs etc AND knows that kid played in 13 games to obtain that many yards/tackles, that doesn’t seem right.” So I just thought I’d ask!
I get that, but a decent linebacker on a bad team will get lots of tackles just because he's on the field 2/3 of the game, while a good defense might only be on the field for 20-25 plays before the subs come in, with half of those being incomplete passes and several TFLs by the DL. A great LB might only have 3-4 tackles in those types of games, which obviously skews their average down dramatically.For stuff like tackles and yards of any sort, I divide them by how many games the teams played, just to make it fair for players that not many schools will be watching because of the teams record.
> FYI, You have DM Lincoln as state champ in 1904. They weren’t in existence until 1923.
From the Des Moines West annual:
"
The game with Lincoln resulted, as was to be expected with Macdonald, Hyland, Strawthers and McCash all out of the game, in favor of Lincoln—16 to 6. West High's fumbling and erratic playing was all caused by the inability of the coach to find a man among either the first or the second team who could fill the quarter position acceptably. The playing of the team in the last twenty-five minutes when they scored a touch-down and were two other times within striking distance of Lincoln's goal gave the first indication of the fighting spirit the team showed during the remainder of the season.
"
what team do you think this is?
Sorry it took me so long to reply, i haven't been watching this thread for awhile. I'm thinking about adding a "star factor" for certain players with a lot of buzz surrounding them. Or else I could adjust the defense altogether by how well they played.I get that, but a decent linebacker on a bad team will get lots of tackles just because he's on the field 2/3 of the game, while a good defense might only be on the field for 20-25 plays before the subs come in, with half of those being incomplete passes and several TFLs by the DL.
