Average length of a NFL player
2015年1月10日Average length of a NFL player
In his conference call with Charger fans, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said about the view that the average age of wholesale jerseys an NFL career is 3 years. Frequently, it is said that the average career is about 3.5 years. In fact, if a player makes an opening day roster, his career is very close to six yearsIf you are a first round draft choice, the average career is close to nine years. That 3.5 year average is really a misrepresentation.
That difference is semi curious.
Certainly, the NFL’s numbers are limited to players that started between 1993 2002 and players who made opening day rosters. Jason Lisk over at The Big Lead tried to check the NFL’s math, and came up with similar though not exact numbers over the same time period.
So instead of guessing where the NFLPA got their numbers, I decided to ask them. This is the information they provided me:
"The NFLPA ran a report on the average number of accrued seasons (6 games on a roster in a season) for NFL players as of the first game of the 2010 regular season, and the average is 3.54 accrued seasons. Here is the report:
Clearly, the NFL and the NFLPA are measuring two different things. Just observationally, in recent years, the trend has been against veterans on rosters and not just due to injuries. Younger players are cheaper. Vet minimums are higher than for younger players. Expensive players get cut if they don’t play to their contract or won’t agree to a pay decrease. If your team has expensive vets, younger players fill in.
These numbers don’t take into account the sizable number of players that do not make rosters. The term "accrued season" is relevant for players/teams because it can determine when a player is eligible for free agency. So a lot of the players on the above list have zero accrued seasons which pulls down the numbers.
So basically, what the sides are telling us is that they disagree on what they are measuring. Any math/football thoughts on these numbers or are you too disinterested to care?
More Annoying Labor Update Because You Aren’t Annoyed Enough.
It looks like cheap nfl jerseys the court ordered mediation between the NFL and players has adjourned until May 16th reportedly to accomodate Judge Arthur Boylan, the mediator’s schedule.
It’s quite possible that Judge Susan Nelson will rule whether to uphold the injunction against the lockout by then. On Monday, May 12th, Judge David Doty has a hearing set to determine damages in the TV rights, lockout war chest case. It’s sort of a non event. We’ve already known the opponents of the regular season for a long time. To predict how wins losses when we don’t even know the free agents and draft picks for the Texans much less their opponents is sort of a silly exercise.
And this year, it is such a tease. "Here’s our big unveiling of the schedule of the season that may not happen." Hoo. Ray.
Eyeballing the schedule, it looks like the early opponents are tough, but last year people wondered if the Texans could survive their early schedule and they did before the wheels fell off.
Schedule is fairly balanced between road and home.
Really, the most notable thing about the schedule is that it stinks for tailgating but is probably good for game prep stability: a bunch of noon games and only one evening game. If you can put your various states of agita, apathy and antipathy aside, here it is:
I tend to have (slightly) more sympathy for the players than the owners in this deal. However, if the NFLPA is computing a number as described and representing it as an length of a playing career then it is dishonest in the extreme.
Suppose you wanted to know average life expectancy, and you had a large room full of people. Would you simply ask everyone their age, divide by the number of people, and think that the result reflected life expectancy? Of course not. The result is average current age, not life expectancy. What the NFLPA is doing is the equivalent of getting all the players in a room, asking each how many seasons he has played, taking the average and calling it expected career length. Actually it just current average years of playing experience.
Maybe they better stick to being professional football players instead of amateur statisticians.
[Yes! I don’t much like the NFL method either because vets on rosters have significantly changed since 2002. I think these numbers are fairly meaningless. Steph]

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey
2015年1月10日Key points for OTA Observations packersnflofficial.com/Nike-Corey-Linsley-Jersey.html
Here are a few things I’ll be monitoring on Tuesday because they should provide plenty of hints about what is to come this season.
1. How much does Ryan Tannehill’s skill set fit into the new offensive Bill Lazor is building for the Dolphins. Will Lazor move Tannehill more than Mike Sherman, utilizing his athleticism? Can Tannehill’s arm make the horizontal passing game come alive. Is Tannehill finally fixing the deep ball issues that have plagued him since his college days?
2. How many of the Dolphins’ injured receivers Brandon Gibson, Brian Hartline, and Armon www.packersnflofficial.com/Nike-Richard-Rodgers-Jersey.html Binns are working with the team instead of rehabbing their knee injuries? Gibson and Binns are the only receivers who fully tore their ACL, therefore needing at least nine months of rehab. That means the Dolphins should be easing them back into it action. Especially Gibson, Miami’s starting slot receiver, who is eight months into his comeback.
3. What unit does the rookie offensive linemen start out with. Are Ja’Wuan James and Billy Turner penciled in as starters, or do they have to work their way up to that role by outperforming Jason Fox, Nate Garner and Dallas Thomas in practices? Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Green Jersey Fox, Garner and Thomas should all be ahead of them from a technique, understanding and fundamentals standpoint. It is ideal to make the rookies earn their starting spot by beating out the veterans.
4. What offensive linemen are serious contenders for the starting guard spots, challenging Shelley Smith and Turner? Garner has started 19 games in his six seasons with the Dolphins, but he’s never seized an opportunity to win a starting spot outright. Will Jason Fox get a shot at playing inside? Sam Brenner is penciled in as Mike Pouncey’s backup at center, but it will be interesting to see if he gets another crack at serving as a starting guard in 2014.
5. Which cornerbacks are contending for the starting spot opposite Pro Bowler Brent Grimes? Cortland Finnegan’s experience will likely give him the edge over Will Davis, Jamar Taylor and rookie Walt Aikens, but it will be critical to see who backs up Grimes because that means they are trailing the rest of the pack.
6. How many cornerbacks are being crosstrained to handle the nickel cornerback spot? Jimmy Wilson has been the starting nickel for two seasons, but considering he’s also the primary backup at free safety to the often injured Louis Delmas the Dolphins need to get someone else ready man the nickel spot. Finnegan is viewed as the backup nickel considering he played that spot with the Rams last year. Davis was being trained to play nickel early last season, but he’s got strength deficiencies that need Davante Adams Womens Jersey to be addressed. Safety Michael Thomas has also manned the nickel spot. Thomas sealed the Patriots win by intercepting Tom Brady inside the end zone last season.
7. At the end of last season Jelani Jenkins was nipping at Philip Wheeler’s heals for the starting weakside linebacker spot. It will be interesting to see if Jenkins, a former Gator who contributed 17 tackles last season as a coverage specialist, picks up where he left off, pushing Wheeler for his spot.
8. The Dolphins have three defensive tackles Randy Starks, Jared Odrick and Earl Mitchell capable of handling the two starting spots. The front line will likely have a three man rotation for those inside spots, but it should be interesting to see Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey who is the front runner to serve as a starter, and which pair handles running downs. Francis and newcomers Anthony Johnson, Kamal Johnson and Garrison Smith will also be interesting.
9. How much has Dion Jordan’s strength issues subsided? Is the No. 3 overall pick in the 2013 draft past the shoulder issues that handcuffed him as a rookie? Can Jordan set the edge better, and will his developing skills as a defensive end allow him to push Olivier Vernon for playing time or the starting spot in his second season?
10. How will the tight ends be used in Lazor’s new offense, and which backup best complements Charles Clay’s skills as an H back? Dion Sims and Kyle Miller both have the size needed to serve as in line blockers, and Michael Egnew thrives as a seam threat. Rookie Arthur Lynch is behind that trio and it appears he’s nursing a injury that kept him from participating in rookie Davante Adams Jersey camp last weekend.
