Supersedes prior lists. Through 2023
This is the best of my football lists; I cleaned up the formula - it's football, so the number of inputs isn't as high as either of the other two major sports, but it's pretty good; I like it, I'll roll with it. The number is an "impact" number designed to cover everything, regular season, playoffs, peak value, career value. I try to make it math as opposed to a subjective list, which can lead to "why is this guy so high/low/not on the list..." (especially with ultra modern QB, goddamn, you want to see what a steroid era actually looks like? Look at the jump in the passing stats; the real challenge is less adjusting for era and more that modern QBs have a level of longevity that just adds to their career numbers in ways that require recognition). But - it ain't bad.
I'll update after the season.
Number is the impact number.
Teams listed are 3 season teams.
