[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 651503, member: 3893"] Well like I said, if it's a measure of strength, I can certainly see its value (with the caveat that there should be also a way to include the impact of special teams in order to make it a measure of[I] team[/I] strength instead of just offensive and defensive strength). But if it's a measure of who deserves a ranking (which is a horse of a different color), the only two factors that should be considered are wins and losses ([I][B]because that is the object of the game[/B][/I]) and who those wins and losses are against. Anything else is to make a measure of success something other than the actual goal of the game, which is to score more points against your opponent, not rack up PPD. And what if you had fewer drives? You'd have a big PPD but might come up short on the scoreboard. And what about those special teams? Why not just go by points instead of points per drive? Points on the scoreboard matter. Points per drive do not. [/QUOTE]
