I tend to go back and look at what they said about players in the 2018 draft, for example.  Not that they are any smarter at identifying talent that GMs and scouts--and they blow it in round 1 about 47% of the time, so who knows?  The best thing for me to do is read multiple sources and find similarities.  Some are patterns, some are parroted comments from social media.  Hard to say--

Their stats breakdown is very good and analysis is insightful, but they do think they are the best minds in football, which they are not.  Crunching numbers and providing insight based off that data does not make you a great evaluator of talent, it just means you can interpret the produced results.   There is a human element to evaluation that numbers simply can't define...character and intangibles.

Seems like a lot of strong opinions on these guys..

Are they the smartest people in the room? A good additional resource? Or do they over analyze everything?

 

How do you guys view them?

Fans like them if they agree with their narrative or hate them if their numbers don't support their narrative.

    • I don't think working from memory is going to be very productive or useful. You would need to compare them all, which is far easier to do from the breakdowns of each game. That has tiered charts that give real data.  But, even then that wouldn't substitute for a trained eye(s) doing detailed film analysis to attempt to determine if we are modifying the offense dramatically for Bryce.
    • I think front office and general team culture under new ownership is sort of on the right track. The rookies all look incredible compared to where you'd expect each one of them to be right now. Lee's in game coaching is awful, he might be ok as a culture and developmental guy but that can't outweigh the in-game miscues and bad game plans. If LaMelo can't figure out the ankles then I think you gotta trade him for a haul, can't keep having your seasons lost every year because he can't stay on the court. And I say that as a big fan of him. Miller I think is unlucky, he looks likely to be an elite core player for us, but if he can't put together a stretch of healthy seasons he would trend towards LaMelo and need to be moved. I used to like Miles on the court a lot more but nowadays he's just an empty stat guy who needs to go. The short lived hot start to the season was fun but unless LaMelo and Miller both get and stay healthy within the next few weeks I can't even see us being a play-in team this year. And even if they do get healthy, we're probably looking at play-in at best, maybe barely compete for that fringe 6th seed.
