It seems like breakout players every year played very well in the second half of the prior season. Hasselback and Chad Johnson for example. Anyone know of a good way to look up the second half leaders from last season?
Roster: 12 Team League
QB: Palmer, Plummer
RB: S. Alexander, J. Lewis, J Jones, S Jackson, Gado
WR: Mason, R Williams, Engram, Chatman, Ferguson
TE: Witten
DEF: Jax
K: Stover
RBs LT Priest Edge Portis J. Lewis Faulk McAllister A. Green S. Alexander Barlow
WRs Moss Holt Boldin Mason CJ D. Jackson Chambers TO M. Robinson Javon Walker
Wow, Edge at #3! I had him last year and while he frustrated me most of the season with injuries he carried my team with some amazing performances the last few weeks.
some of those WRs are actually giving me confidence about why I had some of them higher than other peoples rankings. Pretty interesting to see on some of them
It seems weird to me, but it seems like guys that have a weak first half and great 2nd half are more often busts than guys that do it in reverse.
Willie Green and LT come to mind off the top of my head.
In 2002, Green was great for the last half of the year but came out in 2003, even when he was playing, and flat out sucked.
LT started off his rookie year in amazing fashion, and then faded and had a below average second half, only to bounc back the next year better than ever.
Interesting point bagel. Just like any other stat, you can make of it what you wish. One kind of has to take into account the situation that a team was in, did it play against the Sisters of the Poor (SD), were there injuries to other players that scewed these numbers, etc.... That being said, it is a pretty decent indicator of folks to at least look out for. A player like J. Walker I can see having a big upside but I do kind of doubt an M. Robinson.

Great point MadScott - one that needs to be repeated. Stats are good indicators, but more importantly they dont tell the story. Why something happened wont show up on a stat sheet - you need to read between the lines.

The only reason Robinson is on there is that 4 TD game he had against Seattle.
