Re: PLAYERS OF THE WEEK possible improvement

First off, I think this is a great feature. The various options of player groupings, years and all-time etc is all top notch and altogether it really ads something to the game.

However there is an apparent statistical anomaly that jumps out at me.

It appears that the players at various positions are graded on a point system, which of course makes great sense. Depending on position they get a certain amount of points for selected statistics and then are graded from a cumulative overall score. The top point getters are displayed in any of the various groupings.

However it ALSO appears that defensive backs get points (maybe one per) for tackles. In the case of corners I think this should be eliminated.

Also I would like to point out that I have noticed this because I have a CB who is not playing well at all, but he leads the league in tackles and is listed as an 'all-pro' at CB after a few weeks.

He leads the league in tackles because he is constantly having to tackle WRs who get catches off of him.

CBs who allow lots of catches make lots of tackles. Not so much for Safeties as they are typically covering WR3 or TE1 and also are fundamental to run defense.

I would recommend eliminating tackles as a criteria for grading CBs.

and lastly to reiterate this is a great feature!
