Are we trying to pull off some sort of Moneyball?

[cmoney23]

I'm starting to wonder if we are trying to pull off some sort of "Moneyball" style form of team building were we are looking at certain metrics that the general public doesn't generally perceive as valuable to sign lower dollar FA and acquire players via trade.

I'm not saying that it is a positive or a good thing, but it certainly seems like they are targeting certain players who have an athletic profile over an NFL pedigree.

Our offseason seems to have a theme... from the coaching search/hire to the FA period, to the players we are adding...

[Whyjerry]

That would suggest there is a strategy beyond protecting Stevie's inheritance. There isn't. They are cheap and incompetent. We have decades of evidence.

Also, the "advanced stats" thing isn't as applicable to football as it is to baseball and basketball...too much of it is open to interpretation, in my opinion.

No.

Moneyball actually takes some semblance of work.

This is just pure laziness.

Just Jerry being cheap. Money ball was about using data to build a roster. Jerry doesn’t have a plan just who ever will play for below market price

 

[conner01]

It

No.

This is just pure laziness.

It was an actual data driven plan. Jerry’s plan is just sign who’s cheapest

 

[silver]

There isn't. They are cheap and incompetent. We have decades of evidence.

This. We're cheap and mediocre.

 

[cowboyec]

at least they seem to have some kinda plan and are following it.
i don't mind taking chances on fmr 1st rounders....and younger players....as long as we address those areas in the draft.
better than what they did last year.

To entertain that notion you'd first have to assume that the FO is actually a thinking, football-smart organism.
No, this group of mutts led by an octogenarian fool is just swinging at everything and hope their genius comes to the fore.

 

[Chasing6]

Some kind of it for sure.

Except that is has not worked.

Cheap is debatable see Dak, CD, soon to be Micah.

They are just Incompetent.

 

[Jipper]

I like the 2 lbs today, one has production and one has history with E....the other signings for the most part suck

 

[Whyjerry]

Except that is has not worked.

I know. I was being sarcastical.

 

[MikeT22]

Its equivalent to Jerry drafting injured/at risk players in the 2nd because they would have been firsts without those issues.
Jerry is a simpleton buffoon always trying to get lucky with a reclamation project.

 

[Chasing6]

I know. I was being sarcastical.

I call it Jerry Ball, but they will not be making any movies about it.

 

[bewp7]

well that is true that bust player is under value on the market

Whatever gets you to buy in, bro.
