From the game time thread on the Saints message board:

SubmarineMike:  As thin as we are on WR/TE, maybe we should have made a play for their superstar TE Dan Arnold.  Dude seems like a real game changer.

St. Aaron:   Now I know what Carolina felt like when Ginn came to the Saints and learned how to catch.

He honestly is a case of the home town overvalue that every team does. Arnold is an NFL TE for sure but not some superstar lol. We smartly talked up that Darnold to Arnold poo and just got a top 10 pick off it. This team from top to bottom is much different and in each way seems to be for the much better.

kinda bummed we traded him. couldnt of been a deal breaker for this trade, but a smart TE and a position we need depth at. think him as the 1 made Tommy more of a weapon. 

Me too.  I guess if Henderson works out, it will be like Arnold is still contributing.

I actually saw those posts on their board and couldn’t stop laughing. To add context, Arnold had a key drop for the Saints in the playoffs and TGIF fans blamed him for losing that game.

    • When they measure velocity they base it on an average of 3 throws, I think, could be 5. Each qb decides how he throws it. It's not taken from passes in a game. So basing on an "eye test" takes out bias. It's measured by a radar gun in a controlled environment. 
    • I think the long term is when this stuff pays off. You have to set it all up and get all the big dogs on the same page.  So if you have the right guy set it up, assigning all the values, you are ahead of the game and he seems to be the top guy. Figures Tepper would be attracted to having the Top analytics guy. Okay with me I guess. If they get to the point where I am mad they didn’t kick or go for it, it means they are doing okay. Cause I haven’t thought that mattered much for several years. 
    • Velocity MPH. Okay, that’s a number in isolation. what if CJ has a nice 85% effort motion that does what he is looking for? And Young has to step into things to get even 2 mph behind him?  I don’t KNOW that about either it is just an example of numbers don’t always tell all, but when I look at Young throw it reminds me of someone like Fran Tarkenton. A throwback non athletic weak armed scrambler for those of you who don’t remember. Had a great career in the old smaller slower but much meaner NFL. Would not today, IMO.  I think the arm strength questions, are plenty fair. And the eyeball test, it does mean something. Who would take Bryce Young over CJ Stroud or Richardson based on his arm? It is obvious to the naked eye where they stack up.
