Also not sure if you realize this but your comment about players not being that quick if pretty far off. Elite speed is way more rare than elite quickness and that's pretty much a fact in football and every other sport. Also the shuttle scale used is pretty spot on I used 5 years of The Opening results to make it and I think it comes out pretty spot on. Players are getting faster and faster as the years go on this is also true. I guess in order to take what your saying serious you should post the players your talking about and then post the verified sources you say you have saying their speed would be different. Otherwise we will just keep walking in circles because we have no clue who your referencing to. Your saying the whole team of Oklahoma is wrong but that just can't be. What a player runs is what he runs we might miss here and there but there is a reason we do the research before we edit. If you truly doubt the scale start comparing it to Opening times from the past 5 years or more. You will see that a lot of guys run around a 90-96 shuttle. It's the 97-99 that is more rare and u see that replicated in the rosters themselves. Maybe not for every team but for sure on mine and the others who follow my system. It took me a minute when I 1st started using it to realize that what I was seeing was right. I thought these guys are too quick but when I started comparing them to the real life times they were on point. Most people probably don't realize it and I never did either but most QB's have a 84-94 acceleration but about a 69-78 in speed. It's their quickness that makes most of these guys look so fast. Barry Sanders is my best example of quickness making you look fast. He was not that fast but he was quicker than a hiccup.

This is so true, I learned the same lesson last year when revising. It should be uniform other wise some overzealous editors take their favorite teams pumping up. You could tell who was who's favorite team last year and who was an after thought team they had to get done. I like the system Boss ran with. It showed no favoritism but also didn't creste parity.
