Private Equity people love DATA, it makes them feel they are smart finding nuggets, getting an edge.

"The percentages are percentiles and not the way you think of grades from your time in school. CJ Stroud’s 18% isn’t him getting 18 questions right out of 100. But, in comparison to Bryce Young’s 98%, it’s of course easy to say Young did much better on the test"

Bryce has certainly given the S2 test a massive black eye.

At the end of the day, you HAVE to have the physical prerequisites. There's a lot of former player coaches who weren't much as players but are clearly very smart and have a great understanding for the game. They had it between the ears, they just didn't have the physical tools to translate it.

It's damn hard to determine the guys who will be able to read an NFL defense pre-snap, then either confirm or reject their initial read and assess the defense in a split second as utter chaos happens around them, then deliver a frozen rope 40 yards to a just barely open receiver while a 300 pound freak athlete is mere feet away from pile driving you into the turf. The full package is very hard to evaluate. But it's not that hard to determine if the guy has the ability to simply make the throw. That's why the Bryce evaluation was so baffling.

Lol.

My company recently sent out a goofy excel sheet saying I had to log any time I had any telephonic communications with a customer.

This was to "capture data".

There are certain cognitive reaction tests that apes perform better than humans do but that doesn't mean they can do human activities as well. The US put a chimp into space before humans because they could train it to do essential functions from a reaction test to condition it.........but one hardly thinks they could have exceeded as an astronaut.

Test are what they are ..........indicators and not the end all to be all.

If we had ran this year back with the squad we finished the previous year with, we would have won the division comfortably. Tepper and fitterer took a half decent job by Wilks and burned it all to the ground. 

Jalen Carter was picked at our actual draft pick if we didn't trade it away

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
