MileHighReport is looking for a few good men, or women, or....
Mile High Report is looking for your help.
We are trying to round out our front page, regularly scheduled content, and we realize that we have no "stats guy."
Do you know the difference between DVOA and DPAR? Is KUBIAK more than just Elways backup and Houston's head coach? When you try to solve a Bronco's problem do you find yourself scanning the stat lines for clues?
We could use you.
We are looking for help digging up statistics to back up arguments, original ideas regarding the numbers Broncos past and present have put up, and insightful analysis of trends and where they may be leading. More than just a number cruncher, we are looking for someone who loves to dig down into those numbers and find the information, the correlations and the explanations behind the box score. Sometimes those numbers are the only thing between us and the truth, and only a guide who understands can lead us through or around them. If you have an idea for a regular analysis that can be a weekly affair, that is even better, and if you can't get enough of the Broncos, and spend your offseason as involved as you do your Sundays, then there is no question that you are our guy or gal.
We aren't expecting constant brilliant analysis, but we would like to see a passion for the pursuit of that kind of insight. We understand as well as anyone that keeping your eye on the goal is half the battle. The other half is the grit and tenacity to stick with plans, and by that light we will be requiring a minimum of one post every week. A requirement is a challenge, and can even be a deal breaker, but we know you can do it. And if you show that you can do it, then you will have the support of guys who will have your back when you can't.
We are prepared to offer significant pay, in the form of empty promises of loose women (or men) and grog. No, don't thank us. It is our pleasure.
If you are interested email Guru at milehighreport@gmail.com and supply some examples of what you can do, or point us towards your work if you have it posted elsewhere.
We are looking forward to working with you!

Men, or womer, or...
or what? Wombats?
Lol, I couldn’t do that. Leave the regression analysis to the fantasy guys. Wait, am I a fantasy guy now? Hmmmm…. I’ll think about it. I don’t even know how to spell DVOA, let alone what it actually stands for, but I’ll do some research and I’ll definitely think about it. I’ve got a pretty busy schedule already, but I would love to do more to contribute to this site. Go Broncos!
If Mike Shanahan were a hotdog, would you eat him? I know I would. Hell, I'd eat him twice.

Damn right, Wildebeests.
140.5 points? Optimum 169? Ah….. 11-1 feels nice. It’s nice to have the division all wrapped up, with two meaningless games, a first round bye, and a whole lot less to worry about for the next three weeks.

Next year.
I have too much on my plate to do anything more this year. But next year I’d love to do an “Inside the Numbers” series or something. I could talk about whether the stats were misleading, how players on our team compare week to week, how players on other teams played us statistically compared to other teams, who had the most fantasy value… The possibilities are endless. But starting next year, I’d love to be the MHR “stat guy.”

I echo the above sentiments
My last year of school in computer science….I love numbers and stats and would love to do this.
However, there is no way I have time right now because of school. Good luck and congrats to whoever can get it!

I have a lot of time on my hands.
I’m also a sucker for numbers, and spend most of my waken hours pressing F5 on footballoutsiders.com.
I’m having problems with proper language, though – spelling ad grammar, and so on – but I’ll give it a shot.
I would love to join a “MHR stats team” like the MHR scouting team. The members could help each other with ideas, corrections on math-typos and such… Just throwing it out there…
Remember: New England won 18 last year; Oakland's won 19 in a half-decade

Nothing I type makes sense--at least on the first level--and I drift in and out of reality
I would like to help….but would it help?

I would love to...
However, I don’t know if I will have the time until the end of the semester. I can still post articles independently of whomever is chosen.
I would like to focus on comparing the OL to previous years, and other OLs in the league.
The numbers are really interesting.

My suggestion
If any of you guys need advise on how to make posts about stats or simply analyse them, stop by stampede blue and read some of Shake’s and mgrex03’s postes
