Garcia leader in QB ratings
Jeff Garcia stands atop the TMW quarterback fantasy ratings for 2001 given his combo of
high opportunity points and actual production. Kurt Warner was the top QB in terms of pure
production at 130%, while Aaron Brooks surpisingly led all QB's in opportunities, but could
only muster an 84% production rate.
Rams top Drive stats table
The St. Louis Rams were the dominant team in the TMW drive chart stats -- both on offense and overall.

I've always believed that some teams are much more physical than others, with the most
aggressive inflicting serious pain on their opponents. Can you tell
