A little ownership news


Mr. Scot

Not surprised at all. The rumor has been that the Fertitta brothers have been wanting in on the NFL for a long time now. Man, did they ever fleece WME on that UFC deal. $4 billion+??? LOL! The PPV numbers have been absolutely horrible in the past couple of years outside of Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey cards and Fox isn't offering them anywhere near the money they want on their broadcast renewal contract. They had always ran the UFC much like the NFL and never relied too much on individual stars instead promoting the UFC brand more, but then they got Ronda and Conor and threw that all to the wayside. That maximized their immediate value and they cashed in their chips. Now WME/UFC is left to try to clean up the mess where now all these champs (and even non-champs) are entitled as hell and want to call their own shots like the UFC allowed McGregor to do. Zuffa (the Fertittas) created that mess and now the UFC is a junk show with interim belts right and left.

You call it a mess they called it marketing to the masses. If you want billions its built on flash and Star branding not quality. For years they had a quality product that no one cared about.

Viewership numbers are actually in steep decline now. They cashed in on their two megastars. It was smart business, but WME got hoodwinked big time.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
