The latest rankings suggest they do- but is this fair?
Philly Voice’s Jimmy Kempski compiled the average age of offensive skill positions around the league and the New England Patriots rank 31st, thanks in part to quarterback Tom Brady who has a birthday in July and is expected to turn 73 years old.
Kempski chose the quarterback, the running back, the tight end, and the top three wide receivers on each team to determine the average offensive age.
I have a few hairs to split.
First, I think that a snap-weighted offense is a better method of determining positional ages because offenses will never, ever, ever have the same three wide receivers, one tight end, and one running back on the field for an entire season.
