Introduction to Backyard Banter

Picture
Hello everyone,
    
Welcome to Backyard Banter. The goal of this site is  to promote smart, thoughtful analysis within the NFL community. Like so many others, I love this game, and I believe the best way to learn more is through dialogue with other dedicated observers of this great sport. We can all learn something from each other, and I am excited to share in that experience with the readers of this website. 


Backyard Banter's primary purpose these days is to serve as the hub for the Reception Perception study. I'll host the publications from here, as well as feature all Reception Perception preview posts. Additionally, some of my evergreen content (such as the Backyard Banter Quarterback Typology) can be found here.
Thanks again for stopping by,
