News: Jerry listened to the analytics team!

[CF74]

Jerry got fat and decided to listen to the scouts and MM.. Good for us...

All the analytics in the world don't mean anything when you are living in a dictatorship whose leader is ruled by emotion.

I don't think it was necessarily arrogance, but likely ignorance.

Jason Garret was arrogant. Anyone with an ounce of discernment could see that.

Don't need Coop when we have Lamb.

Jason Garret was arrogant. Anyone with an ounce of discernment could see that.

I would argue he was a man of conviction. He believed in his heart he knew football and how to win. Because of his strong convictions, he would not let any amount of evidence sway him otherwise. In short, he's a football idiot that believes its just bad luck that he doesn't have 5 SB trophies as a coach.

I have no insider information, but suspect that the Cowboy's (and, other team's) use of "analytics' goes far beyond SPARQ ratings.

By that I mean the use of probabilistic analysis and simulations for the draft to provide insight on:. Who or what positions are available in each round, their competitor's needs and tendency's, etc.

Hopefully, their "analytics" team advised them that drafting Lamb, rather than someone else in the first would not preclude them from addressing their needs in other rounds.

Stephen Jones said as much on 105.3 after the pick of Ceedee Lamb. Makes me feel bad as the guy is playing his way out of the team. A great pick whom we will not be able to afford when his contract comes due.

We'll keep two out of three. Time will tell.

Red Jesus is a reflection of ownership. This franchise makes decisions based on emotion and history. It worked well 25 years ago so it should work now. Brilliant.

 

[Chuck 54]

I'm not sure I'm crediting that.

Me neither. I can credit the Joneses for making the right picks, listening to what the new coach wanted, but the fact is that LUCK played a HUGE roll in our draft. Value players had to be left hanging there unexpectedly in order for someone to make the right choices. I also wonder how great our reviews would have been if we had selected These players (not lamb) in the rounds where we supposedly graded them.

Diggs in round 1 and Gallimore or Biadasz in round 2 may not have been as exciting.

Baltimore is garbage a garbage QB, that eventually will find himself in a backup role
