There are so few official stats in football. The rest are subjective and debatable, it'snever going to be baseball because there are too many moving parts every play. PFF makes money off selling the certainty that their stuff is trustable and usable. First betting or fantasy and now they are targeting teams. You don't bring that in house unless you are a sucker or lost objectivity IMO. 

And even in baseball they already went full circle.  Everybody figured out analytics was the way to go, and now everybody's making decisions the same way.  So now what differentiates you as a team if you're just crunching the numbers like everyone else?  Oh yeah like actual knowledge of the sport and experience with what works and what doesn't.  So ultimately it's circled right back to old guys sitting in a room talking about who's got a hotter girlfriend.

A 0.0 on 10 pass block snaps is insane. If things slow down later today I'm hoping to get a chance to start watching the all-22. The review thread is not going to be fun to have to put together this week.


Someone on YouTube looked at the oline all 22. At times, the patriots were only rushing 3 and getting immediate penetration from all 3 guys.

What more do Brady Christensen and Lathan Ransom have to do to stay on the field?

Why did we even re-sign BC?  Did he finger somebody’s butthole?  Steal someone’s dog?  Kick a coach’s grandma?  The reluctance to play him is baffling.

In house analytics are probably the only ones that should actually matter because that analyst can work hand in hand with the coaches breaking down the film. I like PFF as a statistical aggregator much more than I rely on their grades. Their grades tell me the opinion of PFF and how their accumulative play by play grading system viewed that game, season, whatever. The bigger the data set the more useful that grade is going to be but it's always going to be flawed. It'll give you a very high level overall idea, that's about it. If a guy grades really well in coverage for the season he probably is a really good coverage guy and vice versa. They can basically tell you if a guy is really good or really sucks and then there's a ton of gray in the middle and you have to figure out how that guy is going to translate in the role you have in mind. For instance, you don't want to sign Moehrig planning on primarily using him as a deep FS.

I just don't want PFF's analytics guys tho. Give me number crunches and not guys selling their angles. Hard pass on that. I would rather take analysis from non financially biased people.

When you don't have a QB you don't have a chance so yeah, if the QB you invested massively into giving up a lot of roster building capital to acquire sucks then yeah, that's your biggest problem in terms of roster issues. Keep making excuses for Bryce and coming up with new and increasingly entertaining mental gymnastics to try to cover for him but it is what it is. We would have hope if we had a QB. We were ass Cam's rookie year but we were all excited because we knew we had a QB. All other roster deficiencies are easy fixes compared to QB.

Derailing threads? Man you derailed your own thread in your initial post. LOLOLOL 

Actually you can still have a chance when you don't have a QB. John Fox made it work with Tim fuging The Golden Calf of Bristol. Quincy Carter made the playoffs. Mark Sanchez.  There's plenty of data on teams competing hard, even when not winning, when they have a terrible QB. It's hard, but you can.

Something tells me if you put Dalton in the rest of the season the team will still go 4-13 or worse. There's no excuse for Panthers sucking all three phases. Canales clearly can't figure it out, or he doesn't have the balls to make changes, so he has to go. He's running the same poo. He and Evero both. There are no adjustments at halftime.

That's the cycle. The field is stagnant until someone figured out the next thing to move the pile. 

A huge chunk of old school baseball was such fluff. The ugly girlfriend in moneyeball comes to mind. Thay entire scout scene was hilarious from the 'expertise' they slang.

      Official Week 4: Panthers at Patriots Gameday Thread

      Jaycee Horns post game Comments

      I have no problem with them saying they had a great week of practice.  I believe them. i literally read this earlier: It’s simple.  And Jaycee is alluding to it.  The play calls were working, but the Pats took off on us with Bryce missing wide open passes at least 3 drives in a row, starting with the throw off the Pats’ players facemask.  It also became abundantly clear that the staff doesn’t trust BY at all.  Once he missed the open throws, they usually tried to run with minimal success, then tried to pass again which resulted in failure.  The plays were there to be made.  The guy pulling the trigger can’t make them.  That’s why the drives stalled.  Then, as the blueprint has played out with Bryce since he became starter, the snowball starts rolling and eats up all the little pieces in its path along the way.  The offense can’t sustain drives, the other team picks up momentum, the defensive morale goes down the shitter and they start giving up everything, etc.  The offense kills every fuging semblance of confidence and momentum every week. These games look wildly different if we had any kind of ability to sustain drives and score TDs on offense.  It’s like being a pitcher with no run support…  you can keep pitching lights out, but when you don’t get any support, you start to crack.  That’s what happens to the rest of our team every fuging Sunday.  The one guy that the entire team depends on is the worst player on the field more often than not, and it results in the rest of our team bearing the responsibility of it.

      Dave is sticking by Bryce

      Dalton threw for 5/6 and 1 TD.   What else could he have done better?
