How’s this for analytics?

I think that’s kind of the point of the stat. There probably aren’t any other schools that have had 20+ seasons of SB contenders. Hence the comparison.

but there is no comparison because you didn't contextualize those numbers lol

This seems a little more interesting. The colleges with the most players this year. Instead of trends from 20 years ago this focuses on now.

Georgia not in the top 22

And 2020: (though having the Chiefs again would just tend to cause some common schools)

I’ll defer to someone with more time on their hands to investigate what the hundreds of other colleges and universities are doing in context of consecutive SB appearances but I doubt there are many with this particular stat. Regardless, it’s an interesting stat and one that I’m sure Tepper and co. might be interested in.

I think he was pointing out that 2 numbers aren't analytics. Maybe an interesting anecdote though.

I mean if we are arguing semantics sure. If the stat followed up with “no other teams have this production” then I think it’s a different story.

but Georgia isn't even in the top 20 this or last year so that they had 1 or so this year or what happened 20 years ago isn't a very relevant analysis. It's pretty much just counting.

Could be just a rare coincidence. But SEC teams like GA and LSU are at least in the conversation of competing each year. It’s an impressive stat and if it assists with draft logic then great. One could argue relevance to the topic as it dates back so far but it’s a telling stat for program success and if I’m scouting impactful players that could get me to a SB I think this has its relevance.

If the question is "How's this for analytics?". My honest answer would be that it's rather weak or useless.

Fair enough. It was more of a playful title as we are in the midst of draft discussion, era of a new GM, and Tepper loves his “analytics.” I’ll make sure to do a paragraph long title next time like most folks on here to really drive the point across.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
