    To be fair, his username has no mention of who he is

    Edit: my mistake, I thought the fantasy nerd account was the one being replied to, I completely missed that they were replying to someone else

    Replying to "georgefoster72" has no mention that he is George Foster?

    Also, 72 was his player number

    I completely misread it, I thought he was replying to the fantasy nerd account, not George fosters account

    ā€œFantasyNerdBoiā€ā€¦is that like he’s a nerd about fantasy football, or…?

    I just kind of love the idea of a former football player being a huge D&D nerd, and I really want it to be something like that.

    The original comment was replying to George Foster. Nerdboi is a separate person responding with Foster's credentials.

    He was a first pick for the Broncos... That's still only marginally better that a peewee league player. /S

    There are 156 players in nfl at a time him not knowing all drafted 22 years ago is understandable

    There are 156 players in nfl at a time

    You're off by an order of magnitude. Each of the league's 32 teams has a 53-man roster; that's 1,696 active players in the NFL.

    There’s probably 156 first round picks still in the NFL.Ā

    Still not sure how you got this so wrong; I'm in North America and Google was still able to tell me that there are 549 active players in the English Premiership.

    I googled amount of teams then amount of players per team then did bad math

    parent root
    5 points GodOfManyFaces

    There is bad math and then there is conpletely being out of touch with what numbers are. I just googled it. 32 teams. 53 people per team. How can you possibly think 150 something is a reasonable number? With 50 people a team.....that is teams worth of people.

    I stg literacy and any kind of critical thought has slipped so far.

    True but so confidently saying he didn't play the position when he really played at a high level still is fitting for this sub - shows the guy who called him out doesn't know what he's talking about!!

    Absolutely. You might not know the name, but implying immediately that someone who I would guess knows about the running game in football (doesn’t matter if he is good at it or not, he is a pro member of the elite 1% of athletes which go to the NFL) has never played the game tells a lot about how much you really know about the game.

    How did you reach that number? There are 32 teams. Do you think each team has fewer than 5 players? Assuming they only have 11 defense and 11 offense players that’s 704 players, and that assumes both a single player in the bench and no dedicated special teams.

    I love how you get mass down voted. Yes you did bad math, but your point is still valid. Why can't people see that?
