Cool Star article


stirs

Recommended Posts

Summary? The link keeps crashing my window.

 

Star takes on double teams a lot, freeing up other players.  He disengages from blocks well to clog running lanes.  When left in a one-on-one matchup, he usually drives his man straight into the backfield.

 

He deserves recognition as a potential DROY candidate, but he won't get it due to lack of personal stats.

 

And some low quality .gifs of some run stops he contributed to against the Jets.

God, I weep for the future of journalism. Even sports journalism, which was always touch-and-go. The writing quality is absolute poo.

 

 

 

And despite being the seventh defensive player draft, the Carolina Panthers couldn’t have been happier 

 

The fourth player "drafted," you mean? Come on, that was the first paragraph, bro! Can you at least spot check the first paragraph?

 

 

 

 And they’ll continue to rely on him to keep this defense among the most difficult to defend in the NFL.

Brilliant.

 

Sorry, I could't read any further than that. It was just too painful. I'd rather read Bleacher Report.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
