- First three selections were Calvin Johnson then Roddy White then Ahmad Bradshaw
- Highest single game total was 145.66 in Week 15 against Tristen Perlberg
- Championship win came in Week 16 over Keith by 8.96 with a 130.90 to 121.94 finish
- Points for were 1453.24 and points against were 1240.44 across the season
- He made 18 roster moves which kept depth stable without churning the core
- Early wide receiver focus worked because both Johnson and White delivered steady targets and touchdowns

- Quarterback was not forced early which allowed value picks later and better overall balance
- The path to the title was built on consistent mid range scoring rather than boom or bust swings
Around the league
- Andy opened 3-0 and finished 7-7 which shows how quickly early runs can cool
- Anthony started 1 and 2 then closed 8 and 6 which is a solid recovery into the playoff mix
- Highest combined total was 264.12 in Week 2 with Andrew and Andy separated by 0.28
- Largest margin was 88.14 in Week 8 with Anthony over Mike
- Lowest combined total was 139.00 in Week 5 with Anthony over Bill
- Closest game was a 0.10 edge in Week 4 with Mike over Andy
- Andrew selected Aaron Rodgers in the first round at sixth overall and finished 10 and 4 with the top regular season points which supports the early elite quarterback approach that year
Stack finished last with a 3-11 record from the eighth draft slot
- First three selections were Andre Johnson then LeSean McCoy then Josh Freeman
- Johnson missed time which lowered weekly ceiling while Freeman was inconsistent behind a shaky offense
- McCoy was elite but could not offset volatility at wide receiver and quarterback
- Seven total moves limited chances to patch injuries and bye weeks
