Another look at PCR, or Player Contribution Rating. We look at some contextual examples, and use PCR to try and project the rest of the Colorado Rapids regular season.
Last week I created a formula called PCR, or Player Contribution Rating, in an attempt to quantify true player value. You guys gave me some awesome feedback and asked some great questions. This week, I want to try and answer some of those questions by providing some contextual information about PCR.
I understand "true value" may be a subjective term, but for PCR's intents and purposes I am attempting to assess how much a player positively contributes to his team.
