Community Projections Open Thread

The idea of doing community projections was brought up a few months back, February I believe. With little else happening in Seahawks land, I thought we could finalize how we are going to do this over the next couple of days and start them early next week.

Here's how I think we should do it, but I am interested in everyone's ideas.

For skill positions we can do the normal counting stats plus PAR, VOA. Thus:

Shaun Alexander

1250 Rushing Yards
11 TDs
15 Rec
75 Reception Yards
2 Fumbles
4.4 Yard Per Carry

7.3% VOA
23.4 PAR

That's not meant to be a projection, just an example.

Then for the offensive line we could use:

Total Rushing Yards
Totals Sacks Allowed
Adjusted Line Yards
Power Success
Adjusted Sack Rate

and also
Injuries

I have a pretty good idea of how I want to do this, but before I unveil that, I want to see some discussion. Is there any stat we absolutely should include? How about one we should completely disregard (like tackles for DB, perhaps)?

Is there anything we can really use
to judge DB's right without watching them?

We can judge the unit on the whole...
and I will be compiling game charting data for every contest, so though the TV lies, we can get some degree of accuracy.

Ya
the hardest thing about judging the secondary off the TV is that we can't see the whole play we can only see the ball. So therefor we can't really see what type of alignment the DB's are in or what they are really suppose to cover etc....

ill give mine
im not sure on VOA or PAR, so I'll just go with the basic statistics for Shaun

1363 yards
14 TD's

19 catches
101 yards
1 fumble lost, 2 fumbles overall

4.43 yards per carry.

Nothing to really back those numbers up with, just pulled out of my ass.
