Starts is all that matters. Why judge a guy when hes not playing?

Granted, it's probably not easy to come up with W/L record for linemen in starts, but I'm guessing the numbers aren't much different.

More QB's will have a winning record with their original teams than OT's.

OK, that could be the discrepancy. Yes, I'm using starts.

Because I'm trying to gauge the effect on the overall team. If your top 5 pick isn't playing, that's a problem that needs to be taken into account, whatever the reason. It shouldn't be glossed over.

Yep.

Fair enough.

As I said, it's not going to change anything. More QB's will have a winning record than OT's.

But not more pro bowl appearances.

You should go over to the NFLDC forum. They are absolutely lighting up some guy for using pro bowl appearances as a measuring stick...

So taking those three off the list, we'd be looking at 11/26 - or 42%

Not sure where you're getting 38%

But... um... I'm not sure what happened to Bledsoe. He kinda got jobbed somehow. Here's the updated list:

LB 67%
CB 50%
QB 42%
RB 46 %
OT 21%
DE 20%
DT 11%
WR 10%
S 0%

Yep. I was too slow posting my new list.

Because it's a ridiculous measuring stick.

The fans have a say in it, FFS. Guys 6-7 down the list get in due to injuries and SB appearances.

The Pro Bowl means NOTHING. It's a free trip to Hawaii, and nothing more.

The LBs surprise me. Mainly because the majority of those guys weren't really pass rushers.

My guess is that they were complimentary pieces. That successful, winning teams picked them because they already had a proven core.

A lot of them went to good teams that had an uncharacteristic down year, I'd be willing to bet.

Like Jerrod Mayo.
