Introduction The 2012 Detroit Lions have one of the weirdest statistical profiles I’ve ever seen. They gained 6540 yards (3rd in the NFL) and allowed 5458 yards (13th in the NFL), a +1082 differential, 2nd in the NFL behind only Denver, but they won just 4 games. And it wasn’t…

QB Matt Stafford (Detroit) One of the weird statistical things about the Lions in 2012 was that Matt Stafford set an NFL record with 727 passing attempts, but managed just 20 touchdowns. Well, somehow a running game that ran just 391 times on the season managed to steal 17 touchdowns…

Introduction Ah, the Jets. The media’s punching bag. I’ll admit, they’re fun to make fun of, leading the NFL in butt fumbles and what not, but they’re not the worst team in the NFL, as they’re often made out to be. They have talent, mostly on the defensive side of…

Introduction The Bills had the worst fumble luck in the NFL last season, recovering just 30.6% of fumbles that hit the ground last season, which led to a -8 fumble margin and subsequently a -13 turnover margin. That should improve in 2013. A team’s ability to recover fumbles once they…

Because of the uncertainty of their quarterback situation, I will not project either of their quarterbacks. Neither should be drafted.

QB Ryan Tannehill (Miami) 8/18/13: Tannehill gets a small stock down with Dustin Keller out for the season. Ryan Tannehill gets two new weapons to work with in Mike Wallace and Dustin Keller. Wallace may be overrated, but he’ll give them an upgrade on the outside, as Keller will at…
