Writes at Chris Simms Unbuttoned (podcast)
Across 70 graded calls in 12 articles, Connor Rogers scores 72.77% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 27.12, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims.

How much better than a naive guess on the same claims. This is the ranking.
70 graded calls in 12 articles, newest first — page 1 of 3. Every take from Connor Rogers, including the ones still waiting →
Game calls show that game’s closing betting line under their grade: a dated fact from nflverse, for context and never part of a grade. MissedTakes takes no bets and earns nothing from any sportsbook.
The same 87, by how often their calls landed, with no credit for difficulty.
Why the ranks differ: a naive guess scores very differently depending on which calls were made, from 15.25% on the hardest record here to 85.71% on the easiest. Accuracy alone flatters easy calls, so by accuracy Connor Rogers would be #15; the Score measures the lift over a naive guess on the same calls, and that puts this record at #32.
