Algebra 2 Challenge Problem 4

Due by 10AM Friday 12/21 via email

 

In the spirt of our Statistics unit, let us look at NFL statistics (http://www.nfl.com/stats/player). For Quarterbacks, there is a Quarterback rating that takes into account many different statistics to give each Quarterback a number that can rank him relative to other Quarterbacks. Your task is to create a similar number for Runningbacks in this 2007 NFL season. This is purposely open ended. Some of the statistics you could consider using are:

Rushing Yards

Rushing Touchdowns

Rushing Yards per Game

Rushing Attempts per Game

Receiving Yards

Receiving Touchdowns

Receiving Yards per Game

Receiving Attempts per Game

Fumbles (these should count negatively of course)

There are many other statistics that you are more than welcome to take into account but that is completely upto you.

Explain your choices, and get a number for each of the top running backs in the NFL and make a list of your Top 10 based on your rankings.

Look forward to seeing your RB Ratings!
