...and these people have the right to NOT participate in this thread and NOT take the time to rank the quarterbacks. These people can also just NOT respond and view other posts as opposed to leaving posts explaining why this is a dumb idea. I don't think it takes THAT long to rank 32 QBs.

...it is just a point of interest to me. I'm not claiming to be reinventing the wheel and create a new draft philosophy or something. It's something that I would have put together myself, except that I realize that the way that I would rank the quarterbacks would not be a true indication of how everyone would rank the quarterbacks. That is where members of this forum come in. If people are kind enough to participate, I very much appreciate it. If you don't want to, then don't.

If you're going to come with something like this to a board, you have to realize that some people are going to ask why and not just do it for the heck of it.

My frustration comes from responses received about whether or not this study makes sense. The bottom line is that it is an area of interest TO ME, and so I posed this request. It is a request and only a request. Again, if you don't want to do it then don't do it. I'm not really interested in hearing whether or not one finds it worthwhile, because I am going to do it regardless and am only really interested in one's rankings (as opposed to rants). I understand that curiosity does come into play, which is why I divulged what I was doing with each person's rankings.

Am I asking too much? I thought I was requesting a relatively simple request that would take someone an average of ten minutes to complete. For those who did not care to help, they would just move along to other threads. I really did not forsee all of this bickering.

I would like to say thought that I do appreciate all of those who did leave his/her rankings.
