This “analytics” conditioning is garbage


The Question
 Share

Recommended Posts

Go check out how well the Charlotte Hornets have done in the drafts since they got rid of that stupid “analytic genius” Rich Cho at GM for one who has the eye talent for good players. 
 

Rich Cho’s picks: Kemba, MKG**, Zeller**, Vonleh**, Kaminsky**, Monk**   (**bust)

 

Mitch Kupchak: Bridges, PJ, LaMelo, Bouknight/Kai (too early) 


 

David Tepper is such a stupid sport owner. When he finally realize that this is football and not the stock market where math/analytic doesn’t play a big part in, we’ll start winning.

Second season in a row where we’ve been completely battered with injuries and they’re all the same type, every strength and conditioning coach needs to be removed. They’re obviously not getting these guys ready, Roy goes down now. Who answers to this?

Fire David Tepper. He’s the one that thinks football is the same as the stock market.

Players are demanding more and more of their bodies. The harder you push, the more likely you're going to have something break. 

That’s not true. Tom Brady recently spoke about it a couple days ago saying the NFL is making football soft. Light practices, no more hitting, etc are reasons why these players are getting hurt. Their bodies are not prepare for full contact on game day. Just like our little fan fest this year. Rhule had our players come out there pretty much in T-shirt and shorts.

That's also an anecdotal take and not a fact based one. It is possible there is some veracity to it but thr general, "It's cause they're all pussies and don't get hit anymore" take also ignores that currently NFL players are also stressing their bodies much further than in the past.

Tom brady saying the nfl is soft is peak irony.

The same people that bitch about injuries keeping players out, also tend to bitch about the focus on player safety making football 'too soft.' 

Most of our major injuries this year came from non contact plays. The only thing prevented from making football "soft" as you say is concussions. 

So great comparison!

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
