[NAS]

I like Tepper but not sure how I feel about this. Seems like he’s meddling a bit but that could be good

Only this statement below made me go "hmmm....

"...Tepper noted that the Panthers called more passes on first down in Week One than they typically did in past years, and he said analytics had shown that’s a wise approach..."

Not sure if that is meddling territory, but I personally prefer owners to stay away from Xs and Os under any context. Not a deal breaker as long as we are winning :-)

Is "being left-handed makes you a better LT" using analytics?

Asking for friend.

Drinking game every-time you hear the word analytics.

I’m sorry but when you have a HC stuck in 1985 calling us to “run more” and thinking time of possession + slow offense = good, I want Tepper coming in hammering with analytics that have proven time and time again to be true and for the better of the team.

Being a Dallas Mavs fan, I’ve seen first hand how analytics can benefit a team. Its benefited the Houston Rockets as well. Different sport, but the benefit is the same.

 

Nothing wrong with crunching data to see trends and get a small advantage and I have no problem with Tep chiming in with opinions that he feels will benefit the team.... Now if he starts to play GM and coach on the sidelines, then I’d have a problem.

How is that meddling? If the stats show the team is more successful throwing the ball on first down, then you should do it. common knowledge if you ask me. Using stats and rate of success to build a solid gameplan week to week,  is something you should do.

Maybe he should spend some of his billions on a PFF subscription

It’s 2018. I’m amazed there are still pro teams in any sport that don’t use analytics heavily already.

[London Loves Luke]

This is exactly the type of meddeling you want your owner to do. He’s not sat in the draft war room but encouraging analytics is a great move.

[TheCasillas]

Browns were an analytics only team 2013-2016

[Jeremy Igo]

Shocked the coaching staff had to be told to do so in this day and age.

[CPF4LIFE]

Long as Rivera continues to make dumbass decisions i dont have any problem with Tepper stepping in. 

[FugAllY'all]

Does he tell the quarterbacks to throw the ball and running backs to run too? Come on.
