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

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
