EA Sports' presentation upgrade trailer for NCAA Football 14. The decision has been made to go toward a more realistic TV style experience in the presentation. I'm not sure it's the best idea. I wrote at length about this topic yesterday at Crystal Ball Run (where I'll be contributing on occasion).

It's that time of year again. The first gameplay video is out from EA Sports on the latest game in the NCAA Football series. NCAA Football 14 will include things like the ability to use real cuts in running. Acceleration burst is also on the game as is "real-time physics." The latter of which shows what looks like it will likely be a gamer frustration, super power trucking, while using the same trucking animation no matter the size of the running back.

I've bought the game for x years in a row now and I'm not sure I will buy this one. I'm waiting to see more for now.

Robert Griffin III helped the Washington Redskins win the NFC East for the first time since 1999 this year with his dynamic play at the quarterback position. Griffin led the league as a rookie in both pass yards per attempt (8.14, only player over 8) and rush yards per attempt (6.8, Adrian Peterson & C.J. Spiller were the only other players with at least 6 yards per attempt at 6.0). Griffin also won the Positive Impact Factor (PIF) MVP with a PIF of 62.3, which shatters Cam Newton's rookie PIF record of 49.9 in 2011.

Other notes:

None of Arizona's QBs met the minimum to qualify for the leaderboard this season. The dropoff in play once Kevin Kolb was injured was noticeable. Kolb finished the season with a PIF of 41 and produced a TD on 4% of his touches. John Skelton (9.8 PIF) and Ryan Lindley (6.1 PIF) combined for 2 TD and 20 giveaways. Brian Hoyer had a PIF of 36.1 in his 2 games played this season for the Cardinals and had 1 TD and 2 giveaways.

Mark Sanchez had a negative play occur on 50.1% of his touches, which was worst among starters this season. He also ranked dead last in giveaways in the NFL with 26 (18 INT, 8 lost fumbles).

Despite the rushing done on 19+% of the touches of RGIII, Kaepernick, Wilson and Newton, the league's QB rush percentage average this season (7.9) remains below the peak year of 2000 (9.7).

Navy freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds is the 2012 Positive Impact Factor (PIF) regular season MVP. Reynolds is also the PIF Freshman of the Year. Reynolds posted a 72.1 PIF during the season for Navy, not far off the pace Ricky Dobbs had for Navy with a 73.9 in 2009. Reynolds had 18 TD and just 5 turnovers for Navy this season while throwing an interception on just 2.4% of his incompletions and losing just under 3% of his fumbles.

Before we get to the top performers this season, it's important to remember that these ratings have not yet been adjusted for schedule strength yet as that will happen after the bowl season.

Here's the Top Ten from this season (min. 168 touches, TD % in brackets):

1. Keenan Reynolds, Navy, 72.1 (7.6)

2. Trent Steelman, Army, 72 (5.4)

Tom Brady stayed at the top of the list with a great outing against the Texans on Monday Night Football. Brady has been the leader since Week 10 and has been able to hold off Redskins rookie QB Robert Griffin III. However, both are within striking distance of the all-time PIF (since 1992) season mark set by Aaron Rodgers last season (67.2).

The Top 5 did not see any changes since Week 12 but Cam Newton has started to get back on track and has made his way back into the Top 10 (he finished 5th as a rookie in 2011). Josh Freeman remained safely in the Top 10 this week and is approaching his 2010 PIF of 50.8 which was good for 4th that season.

Here's the updated standings (movement in brackets, rookies in bold):

1. Tom Brady, NE, 64.4 (unchanged)

2. Robert Griffin III, WAS, 63.3 (unchanged)

Tom Brady has produced a touchdown on 6% of his touches this season which leads NFL QBs and that percentage is up from 5.2% four weeks ago. What has Brady ahead of the rookie RGIII is the lack of turnovers. Brady has produced 32 TDs while only turning the ball over four times (all INT).

Griffin is on pace to obliterate Cam Newton's rookie PIF record of 49.9. In fact, if Griffin's season ended today, his 63.3 PIF would rank 3rd all-time for a single season. RGIII's completion percentage (66.4%) is 5th in the NFL. Griffin leads NFL QBs in having the lowest percentage of negative plays (32). What this means is that RGIII throws an incompletion, gets sacked or fumbles (negative plays) on 32 percent of his plays.

Joe Flacco fell nine spots this week as he had two of his three lost fumbles on the season in the past two weeks to go along with two of his nine INT. Flacco also threw four TD over the past two games but Baltimore lost two close games in which Flacco giveaways led to points for the opposition.

Other Notes:

John Skelton is last in TD percentage at 0.9 percent. All of the other QBs in the standings have produced TDs on at least 2.2 percent of their touches.

Chad Henne has a negative play on 50.7% of his touches in 2012, which is the worst among starting NFL QBs.

Matt Cassel, who was placed on I.R. with a hand injury, remains the only starting QB this season to throw an INT on a double-digit percentage of his incompletions (10.3).

Rookie Category Highlights/Lowlights:

Highest PIF: RGIII, 63.3 (2nd in NFL)

Lowest PIF: Andrew Luck, 30.5 (28th in NFL)

Lowest Negative Play %: RGIII, 32 (1st in NFL)

Highest Negative Play %: Andrew Luck, 46 (5th worst in NFL)

Highest TD %: RGIII, 4.9 (8th in NFL)

Lowest TD %: Ryan Tannehill, 2.2 (3rd worst in NFL)

Fewest Giveaways: Nick Foles, 4

Most Giveaways: Andrew Luck, 23 (Worst in NFL)

Now that all the Thanksgiving leftovers have been polished off, let's take a look at the updated Positive Impact Factor standings through Week 12 of the 2012 NFL season.

Tom Brady retained the top spot that he took over from RGIII back in Week 10. However, the rookie is not far off Brady's pace.

Here's the standings so far (movement in brackets, rookies in bold):

1. Tom Brady, NE, 65.5 (unchanged)

2. Robert Griffin III, WAS, 62.7 (unchanged)

3. Matt Schaub, HOU, 54.1 (up 2)

4. Aaron Rodgers, GB, 53.2 (down 1)

Tom Brady's PIF keeps climbing as the season goes on. Brady has produced a touchdown on 6% of his touches this season (3rd among NFL QBs), which is up from 5.2% two weeks ago. What has Brady ahead of the rookie RGIII is the lack of turnovers. Brady has produced 27 TDs while only turning the ball over three times (all INT).

The top rookie signal caller's impressive season kept him at No. 2 this week. Griffin's completion percentage (67.5%) is 4th in the NFL. Griffin leads NFL QBs in having the lowest percentage of negative plays (31.2). What this means is that RGIII throws an incompletion, gets sacked or fumbles (negative plays) on 31.2 percent of his plays. For future reference, RGIII is well ahead of the top two rookie PIFs since 1992 (Cam Newton, 49.9 in 2011; Matt Ryan, 49.6, 2008).

Matt Ryan fell this week mostly due to his career worst 5 INTs against the Cardinals. However, Ryan also had two turnovers and just one TD against the Buccaneers in his last outing. Ryan was leading the NFL in PIF after four weeks with a 69.7.

Other Notes:

Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers are the only QBs producing TDs at better than six percent of their touches (Brees, 6.7; Rodgers 6.2).

John Skelton is last in TD percentage at 1.02 percent.

Mark Sanchez has a negative play on 49.5% of his touches in 2012, which is the worst among starting NFL QBs.

Matt Cassel leads QBs with 19 total giveaways (12 INT, 7 lost fumbles). Cassel has 2.7 turnovers to every TD he has produced this season.

Rookie Category Highlights/Lowlights:

Highest PIF: RGIII, 62.7 (2nd in NFL)

Lowest PIF: Andrew Luck, 31 (28th in NFL)

Lowest Negative Play %: RGIII, 31.2 (1st in NFL)

Highest Negative Play %: Brandon Weeden, 45.9 (3rd worst in NFL)

Highest TD %: RGIII, 5.1 (7th in NFL)

Lowest TD %: Ryan Tannehill, 2.1 (2nd worst in NFL)

Fewest Giveaways: RGIII, 6

Most Giveaways: Andrew Luck, 18 (2nd worst in NFL)

It's time to update the NFL Positive Impact Factor through 10 weeks of the 2012 NFL season. Tom Brady has taken over the top spot this week from rookie QB RGIII (rookies are in bold on this list). There was also plenty of movement in the Top 10 this week.

Here's the standings so far (movement in brackets):

1. Tom Brady, NE, 63.3 (up 2)

34. Matt Cassel, KC, 4.3 (down 1)

Tom Brady has claimed the top spot this week. Brady has produced a touchdown on 5.2% of his touches this season (7^th among NFL QBs). What has Brady ahead of the rookie RGIII is the lack of turnovers. Brady has produced 20 TDs while only turning the ball over three times (all INT).

The top rookie signal caller only fell one spot to No. 2. Griffin's completion percentage has come down recently but he trails only Peyton Manning in lowest percentage of negative plays (31.6). RGIII throws an incompletion, gets sacked or fumbles (negative plays) on 32.5 percent of his plays. For future reference, RGIII is well ahead of the top two rookie PIFs since 1992 (Cam Newton, 49.9 in 2011; Matt Ryan, 49.6, 2008).

Ben Roethlisberger looked to be challenging for first place a few weeks ago but has seen his sterling 5:1 TD to turnover ratio fall to 2.8:1 after recent games. Three of Roethlisberger's four interceptions have come in his last five games and so have both of his lost fumbles this season.

Other Notes:

Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers are the only QBs producing TDs at better than six percent of their touches (Brees, 6.5; Rodgers 6.4).

John Skelton is last in TD percentage at 1.1 percent.

Mark Sanchez has a negative play on 53% of his touches in 2012, which is the worst among starting NFL QBs.

Matt Cassel leads QBs with 19 total turnovers (12 INT, 7 lost fumbles). Cassel has 2.7 turnovers to every TD he has produced this season.

It's time to update the NFL Positive Impact Factor through six weeks of the 2012 NFL season. A rookie QB has claimed the top spot (rookies are in bold on this list) this week. As you can see from the video above, Robert Griffin III had a pretty big impact on the Redskins' win over the Vikings this past week.
