Football Outsiders
Fri, November 14, 2003, 3:00 am PST

The revolution in quantitative baseball analysis didn't happen overnight, but with surging interest in the work of Bill James' Baseball Abstract and Michael Lewis' Moneyball, it's reached a state of grudging acceptance. But what about football? The sport that many consider our new national pastime is woefully stats-deficient by comparison. But thanks to this site devoted to dissecting the pigskin, there's great change blowing across the frozen tundra. Not just for fantasy geeks, the site offers opinions, articles, and plenty of discussion about Sunday's grudge matches. If you want to check quarterbacks' rankings by the new DPAR and DVOA, and rate the relative strength of defensive lines by "power success," this is the place. If their work thus far is any proof, these "outsiders" won't be out in the cold forever.
