I'd definitely like to feel best about our center and left/right backs heading into next year. 

Agreed, good defenders are hard to find (especially CB’s). Being able to choose from a plot of proven MLS defenders is huge.

Those DP slots can be used to enhance the wings.

I always tell my high schoolers and club teams that I’d rather win a game 1-0 than 5-2 because it usually indicates that you have a  strong spine (LB/RB, CB, CDM, CM) and that you can play a possession based game.

We're also far more likely to win 1-0 matches than 5-4 shootouts, unless the squad makeup changes and there's a forward-heavy construction.

Appreciate the work you're doing here comrade.

Looks like we get a bunch of views around here but not so many posts. Hopefully that changes.

I know it’s a new game to a lot of people but everyone should feel welcome.

I live in Orlando so I’ve been supporting Orlando City since their inception but being from Charlotte I am absolutely pumped for this team.

It should start really picking up here in the next couple of weeks as the roster takes shape and preseason starts.

    • Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.     
    • It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.
    • Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
