What Greg Jennings said

our reading, beside the words we read it from
(Allen is) going to throw the ball around the field, he's mobile, and he's going to get the ball to his receivers on short and long routes.

How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

7 checkable claims — 6 award picks and 1 coach award pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 13 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 7 have settled, averaging 28.6 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
