[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 8507, member: 196"] [b]A more real comparison between Sander and Barker...[/b] First of all you are just plain wrong. Sanders has a 39.3 Gross average and 36.9 Net average -- which would have been tied for 8th in NFL; Baker had a 40.1 Gross average and a pathetic 33.4 -- which was 31th in NFL. But let's dig even deeper. Consider the following: Sanders: ~~ only had 12 of his 27 punts returned -- only 44% returned = 56% not returned; ~~ given up 43 return yards -- 2.4 yards per return, actually 1.2 yards on 15 that were returned; ~~ had only 1 touchback all season -- 3.6% of the time; ~~ pinned the other team inside the 20 on 12 of 27 punts -- 44% of the time. Barker: ~~ had 50 of his 66 punts returned -- 77% returned = 23% not returned ~~ had 7 Touchbacks -- 10.6% of the time.(ranked 27th in NFL in 2004) ~~ pinned the other team inside the 20 only 1.3% of the time (ranked 27th in NFL in 2004) In all of the above categories Sanders would have led or been in top ten in the NFL in 2004 whereas; Baker ranked in the bottom of the NFL in 2004 in all of the above categories. [b]Gross Ave. means nothing: Net ave is what matters in the NFL. Pinning teams inside the 20 matters in the NFL. Limiting return opportunities matters inside the NFL. At all of these things Baker STUNK![/b] [/QUOTE]
