Do we have a scouting problem?

Have never gotten it together since Beane/Gregory/Koncz departed.  

We just sat around and watched Brandon Beane go to Buffalo and turn a punchline of a franchise into a heavyweight in the AFC.  Sometimes you just have to laugh at how this franchise has always done the most perfectly wrong thing at every opportunity.

I don't know anything about our scouts or what's going on in that area but I'm going to say we should 100% fire everyone.

Even the Bills have struggled with drafting, that's a reason why they are mediocre

We need someone from the Baltimore/Pittsburgh/Philly tree, they are almost always consistently good drafting and talent evaluators

Seattle too, but too much PTSD with failed Fitterer

I think the push towards analytics has hurt.

At best, the GM is not good at his job and at worst, he's not good at his job and he's a yes-man for the owner.

At best, the owner stays hands-off but hires people who suck at their jobs. At worst (most likely),  the owner and his wife play Owner, General Manager, Director of Football Operations, Scouting Director and Player Personnel Director.

100% yes. Something like 80% of the scout herniay hired are still here. You know the ones that have like a 5% hit rate in rounds 2-7. 

Dave didnt replace anyone and just added a cap guy.

Fitterererererre hired a couple seahawk dudes thats it.

The same never was group.

As long as Tepper is using analytics to draft players, the roster will be void of talent such as is now

There's been a ton of turnover in the scouting department since Tepper bought the team. When Rhule was hired they let go a ton from scouting

I work as a data analyst but I have worked in warehouses, as a dispatcher, and as project manager. One of the worst things you can do is take numbers at face value without looking at the context.

That’s what I remember too.  Are our talent evaluators Rhule’s guys from Temple and Baylor??  If so, fire them instantly and demand reparations for the past 4 years.

I think we’ve tried to do a money ball approach to offensive weapons this year . That accumulated with the worst play designs in the league and an Oline that can’t block poo has put us where we are.

Most are in their 3rd year with the team, don't think they are from Temple or Baylor though. Quite a few had previous professional experience

They have an everything problem

I think "analytics" was just code for "Tepper's call".
