Author Description

If insightful commentary, biting humor and detailed statistical analyses are your football drinks of choice, Scientific Football 2007 is the book for you! Scientific Football 2007, the latest in the highly acclaimed Scientific Football series by KC Joyner, features a return to the essay-driven style review of the passing game that was so popular in Scientific Football 2005. In Scientific Football 2007 you will find out such things as: * Are two of the weakest-armed quarterbacks in the NFL really a detriment to their team's vertical passing attack? * Which team uses a "buy generic" approach to player acquisition and how this philosophy could hurt them in 2007. * How effective or ineffective are certain scrambling quarterbacks when they pass on the run? KC also tackles an eclectic variety of other issues including: * Why does the Peyton Manning fan club seem to have so few members? * Which coach did the worst job of utilizing his players' skills last year? * Four rules changes the NFL should implement. KC's sense of humor is also on display in Scientific Football 2007. From detailing why a certain player reminds him of a character from a Quentin Tarantino film to comparing one team's defense to a famous World War II landmark, KC shows that just because a book is analytical doesn't mean it can't be fun to read! As if that wasn't enough, KC is also introducing many new metric types for wide receivers and cornerbacks, including forced incompletion percentage and effectiveness by route type. Add it all up and it makes for a one-of-a-kind read!
