Panthers will support RFID tags in shoulder pads, real-time player position data

[Growl]

Meh. Seems like it'll provide more useless information on the field that doesn't actually tell us about the game on the field but people will vehemently use to support arguments. Think 40 times but all year round.

[cbully]

useless!! however one step closer to placing them under the skin... WAKE UP people! there is a agenda!

This should have way more pie by tomorrow.

I'll text my buddy in the am to see what's up with this and if he's involved in it

I disagree completely.

 

What's the main criticism of putting too much stock into the 40 time? The fact that "real game" speed can be much different. Well, these RFID tags will give us the player's actual game speed, along with a bunch of other cool and meaningful statistics. Sure the information won't be the end-all be-all, but no statistic ever is.

It will have a lot to do with impact and angles and preventing injuries.

Go check out the company's promo vid for the technology. Definitely made me lol at :42 where it shows you what coaches can see in real time. It looks like a 90's Madden with helmets just bobbing around. Overall, I think it would be really cool to see what they could do with all of the data it collects

i knew someone would bring up that stupid cliche' as a way to justify it in spite of the cliche' itself being initially what i was speaking against.

"real-game speed" is an overplayed cliche. a myth. "speed" has very little to do with how fast you're running at this level and most of that information can't be measured.

"Speed has very little to do with how fast your are running". That statement honestly makes no sense whatsoever and is quite funny to read.

 

"Most of that information can't be measured". What? That's exactly what they will be doing. They will be measuring the speed of the players throughout the entire play. What is this mystical immeasurable stuff you seem to think exists?

 

Bottom line is they can measure how fast you are during every point in the game, and you're kidding yourself if you don't think that's useful. They'll compare WR's initial acceleration, how fast they can cut in and out, and that "second gear" on long runs. They can also compare it to cornerback's stats, which could affect what the offense/defense try to do to get favorable match-ups.
