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

    • It's amazing how much yall can say the same things over and over and not annoy yourselves with it.
    • If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.  
    • As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
