Help me make sense of this scoring system.... please?

[tareeked]

yeh, so this is a pretty unique scoring system for me.... it makes my head hurt trying to understand which positions are more valuable...

Passing/Rushing/Recieving Yards = 1 pt for 1 yard
Passing/Rushing/Recieving TDs = 25 pts for 1 TD
Interceptions = -15 pts
Fumbles = no penalty

Extra points = 10 pts for 1 extra point
Field goals = 1 pt for every field goal yard(e.g. 35-yrd field goal = 35 points)...

Kick/Punt returns = 25 pts


....so at first i though QBs were ULTAAAA valuable... but then noticed that there are no penalties for fumbles, but a 15pt penalty for interceptions.... does that even out the playing field? i still think QBs are way more valuable, right? plus the kickers are valuable too, lol...... like, a decent RB could put up a bad game of like 60 yrds and 1 td.... thats 85 pts.... same game, a kicker can have 1 extra point, and 2 35 yrd fields goals... thats 80 pts....

Uh, you need to plug this into a spreadsheet. It would seem to me that TDs are basically a non-factor. 25 yds rushing is equal to a TD? That's crazy. I plugged it into my spreadsheet and the first 3 selections should be QB. The difference in points between Brees and Eli Manning is equal to the total points Fitzgerald will score.

Other than that, it really won't affect the value of a particular position as much as you'd think. It more elevates the players who get a lot of yards and don't score many TDs.

QBs are still definitely the most important.
300 yards passing + 3 TDs and a pick is.
300 points for the yards
75 points for the TDs
-15 points for the INT

Thats still 360 points for your QB.

Mved you over to DTKW as I think you will get more help there.

Yeah, I went to a couple of sites that have easy access to personalizing scoring but they didn't go that crazy. You will probably have to use a spreadsheet to crunch those numbers properly.

As Dawinner pointed out... QB should go off the board very quickly, I would guess 6-8 in the first round.
