NFL model analytics player compares

The best Teddy 2 Gloves ever was, was NFL average. And both Teddy and Tua spend forever hurt. That’s not good. 

Wentz had one elite season and then injuries seem to ruin him.

Darnold was never good. Cutler was exciting but never great.

 

If these are the comparisons, this is a bad class lol.

They plugged intangibles into their models and compared to active players who made transition from college to NFL in last 10-15 years

Bryce Young - Teddy Bridgewater/Tua

Stroud - Wentz

Levis- Darnold/Cutler

Were they only looking for bad comps? 😬

Focusing so heavily on recency is going to really limit your potential comps. I do think Brees and Wilson are the best comps for Young. Brees-like passer, though Brees had an advantage both in a strength and pure accuracy IMO. Wilson-like in mobility.

This is what I've been seeing and I'm sticking with it until proved otherwise.

Lol right. I was trying to figure out who he was arguing for… maybe Tua or Wentz if either could stay healthy?? Still don’t see Wentz in Stroud at all. Stroud is Goff with Burrow being his absolute ceiling if you want to do a comp ( which I don’t really understand as no two players are the same)

they are comparing the positives of those player, not the negatives. How they landed on those players is total opinionated because it is the authors custom "algorythm"

The term "intangible" means it cannot be measured. Literally.

Then there's this from the article:

Quote

The goal for the comps: showing some of the strengths, weaknesses and unknown résumé aspects for each prospect, while offering a perspective to approximate how team analytics departments might view the player's potential NFL impact.

Yeah. Her magic models are gonna show us "unknown resume aspects" for each prospect?

That's some damn wizardry right there. These comps are about as accurate as all the others. Nothing but guesses.

Agreed. They started out with an idea that they didn't think highly of this class and put in data that would fit whatever narrative they wanted to roll with.

Seems like only huddle thinks highly of this class.  This class is so good that #2 needy Houston looking to trade down.

We only need one to work and we've got our eyes set on the right one.

I think this class is really good, but Houston needs help everywhere ave they've got a lot of picks. They can come back at 12 and still get their franchise guy.
