Many current devices have flash capability, but any update or new device running Android 4.1 or higher will not have flash capabilities. I don't know how often people access your site with iOS or Android, but that might be something to keep in mind.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598392636728563705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-61042579312618253752012-07-05T18:59:01.104-04:002012-07-05T18:59:01.104-04:00I appreciate and understand the demand for year-ro...I appreciate and understand the demand for year-round content. I promise it's not a deliberate boycott. Part of it is that there is only so much interesting stuff that I have the tools and data to penetrate, and much of the low hanging fruit has already been plucked. I'd like to save it up for the season when there are many more people paying attention.<br /><br />Regarding a mobile format, there is already a mobile version for most mobile phones. Some mobile devices are more advanced and will default to the full version, however. The only truly mobile-unfriendly thing about the site is that the WP graphs are built with Flash, so Apple devices don't get to see them. For live graphs, I do have a non-Flash mobile version under Graphs | Mobile.Brian Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371470711365236987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-23517249233827594642012-07-05T13:11:18.497-04:002012-07-05T13:11:18.497-04:00Ever think about going mobile-friendly with a resp...Ever think about going mobile-friendly with a responsive design?

Maybe it would simplify things this way since you are only looking at WR,RB,QB,TE,K,DST rather than a ton of positions.

I said "It's about money... I would rather have 40 Percy Harvin type "near elite" players making $1M a year than 2.5 elite players like Calvin Johnsons making 16.5M per year"... <br /><br />But then the idea struck me that even if you could do that, with the remaining 13 players on the roster, you would have $70M to spend. So even if you have a guy only slightly more valuable than Percy Harvin, you should have no problem paying twice as much or 3 times as much and there is some room for overspending since you aren't graded completely on Maximizing value. Your team isn't any better if it is $30M under the salery cap each year. So teams obviously have a reason to fill their roster with the occasional premium talent even if they have to overpay.<br /><br />My question is... theoretically say every year EVERY single player must be thrown into free agency. How do teams value players and How should they fill their roster to make sure they maximize their probability of winning?<br /><br />If it makes things more simple, lets say it doesn't matter if you have 53 WRs or 53 QBs, and say player's "win probability added" or whatever contributes no matter if they are a starter or backup.. <br /><br />Is there a way to figure it out?mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-10208166699419233492012-06-22T06:04:35.053-04:002012-06-22T06:04:35.053-04:00Thank god.
