Ryan and Flacco Have Long Been Deemed to Have Comparative Talent

It's the winter of 02/03, two High School Quarterbacks are making their final decisions on where to go to college and peaking up at the Scout.com ratings assessing just how solid of a college prospect they are. They see themselves ranked as a 3-star recruit in the mid 40s of all the quarterbacks and probably proclaim they will prove everyone wrong.

Fast forward 6 years and these two high schools ranked #43 and #44 respectively have lead their NFL franchises to bounce back seasons and playoff appearances while more heralded recruits have either flamed out or have yet to make the postseason (Quinn, Rodgers & Russell).

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
