This kind of cutting-edge analysis was typified by Bill James’s Baseball Abstract and more recently by Baseball Prospectus. Pro Football Prospectus aims to bring the same sort of analytical revolution to professional football. Working with the most detailed football database ever compiled, the Prospectus provides insight into, and analysis of, the plays, players, and strategies that make a difference. Features * Analysis of all 32 teams -- how they fared last year and where they are headed in 2002. * Detailed commentary on over 550 skill position players -- every one who threw a pass, caught a pass, or ran with the ball. * Commentary on more than a thousand offensive linemen and defensive players, with new methods for evaluation and projections for 2002. * Statistical ratings for individual defensive players -- every player who stepped onto the field. * Todd Greanier's Drive Chart analysis. * Draft grades for each team by Sean Lahman, covering their last five draft classes. * New ratings for kickers, including Michael Ellis's kickoff evaluation and special teams data. * Rankings for coaches, including offensive and defensive coordinators. * Ken Shouler exposes the flaws in the NFL's passer rating system. * ... and much more
