If insightful commentary, biting humor and detailed statistical analyses are your football drinks of choice, Scientific Football 2007 is the book for you!

Scientific Football 2007, the latest in the highly acclaimed Scientific Football series by KC Joyner, features a return to the essay-driven style review of the passing game that was so popular in Scientific Football 2005. KC’s essays combine the game-tape acumen of a scout with the analytical insight of a statistician. KC is able to do this because he breaks down every NFL game with a unique performance metric system. He then tabulates the information from that system into spreadsheets that he uses to help quantify each player’s performance.

The other centerpiece of KC’s work is his dedication to the NO-HYPE principle. NO-HYPE means just that – KC will not hype anyone in the NFL regardless of who they are. This means you will get the straight skinny on what KC’s notes and metrics say about a player or team, be they good or bad.

This unique combination of information gathering and apolitical analysis means that in Scientific Football 2007 you will find out such things as:

• Are two of the weakest-armed quarterbacks in the NFL really a detriment to their team’s vertical passing attack?
• Which team uses a “buy generic” approach to player acquisition and how this philosophy could hurt them in 2007.
• How effective or ineffective are certain scrambling quarterbacks when they pass on the run?

KC also tackles an eclectic variety of other issues including:

• Why does the Peyton Manning fan club seem to have so few members?
• Which coach did the worst job of utilizing his players’ skills last year?
• Four rules changes the NFL should implement.

KC’s sense of humor is also on display in Scientific Football 2007. From detailing why a certain player reminds him of a character from a Quentin Tarantino film to comparing one team’s defense to a famous World War II landmark, KC shows that just because a book is analytical doesn’t mean it can’t be fun to read!

As if that wasn’t enough, KC is also introducing many new metric types for wide receivers and cornerbacks, including forced incompletion percentage and effectiveness by route type. Safeties also join in the new metric act with their coverage metrics now being segmented into direct coverage and deep assist coverage areas.

Last but not least, KC also saved some of his most hard-hitting commentary for the return of the ever-popular television announcer reviews. Add it all up and it makes for a one-of-a-kind read!
