Of course that pretty much rests on the RB and WR corps, haha.

Patriots third-oldest, Fins sixth-youngest - AFC East - ESPN

I wonder what our average age would be if you took out taylor, morris, and faulk?

Edit: D'oh!

PrairiePat

Yeah, we're averaging 11 days per man older than the youngest team in the league.

We're doomed.

Or take out Galloway and Springs.

It's a stupid stat. The disparity between oldest and youngest isn't even, what, two years per man? And do they count the whole team equally, or just starters? And who decides what constitutes "better"? Is a team with 30-year-old starters doomed compared to a team with 23-year-old starters? Is it not possible that what the older guys have lost in speed they've made up for in smarts? is a Canton-bound QB or WR over 30 not better than a scrub who's 20?

BradyFTW!

A lot of things can happen in 11 days, you never know...

Ummm . . . the difference is a bit more than a year.

You misread by a factor of 50 or so.

i would love to see this stat in 2 years, when both springs and moss will be gone (retired)

and when galloway, fred, morris and faulk will all be gone


our skill players are the ones that are old now, instead of our lb's, LOL

27.74 minus 26.47 equals 1.27
1.27 years equals 463.55 days
So it's an average difference of being 464 days older per player, not 11 days.

Regardless, I do agree that it's not worthy of a column. The difference between having three veterans rather than rookies on a roster can skew the average age by about nearly a full year.
