[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 871960, member: 4199"] Typically it's looking back at stats. Correlate performance with wins and then try to make future predictions. It's not perfect, but it's the best we've got. Over simplified, teams that lead the league in rushing tend not to make it to the playoffs, for example. Teams with good passing offenses do. That said, it's not necessarily that you don't have a good running game. It's that passing offenses average more yards per play, more points, etc etc. So even if you had Bo Jackson and Aaron Rodgers in the same backfield, you'd still throw more than you run. Past that, it's more art that science, albeit a sliding scale. If passing is more valuable to offenses, the defenders that stop the pass are more valuable than defense. Ergo Edge and Cornerbacks. To counter that, you need offensive tackles to stop those good edge players. Etc. Then we have a little bit of scarcity built in as well. Quarterback is probably the most important and there aren't 32 good quarterbacks in the league at any one time. So they are drafted high and good ones paid well. Similarly with Edge and OT. There aren't 64 good ones in the league at each time. From there the scale starts to slide. Backs are common and there isn't statistical evidence that they add to wins. The get shafted. Lots of college OTs that can't hack it at the pro level, but can survive inside where they'll get more help and aren't left on islands. Thus Guards and Centers are less valued that OT. On the super extreme end we have fullbacks. Many teams don't even have one. [/QUOTE]
