This “analytics” conditioning is garbage


The Question
 Share

Recommended Posts

Go check out how well the Charlotte Hornets have done in the drafts since they got rid of that stupid “analytic genius” Rich Cho at GM for one who has the eye talent for good players. 
 

Rich Cho’s picks: Kemba, MKG**, Zeller**, Vonleh**, Kaminsky**, Monk**   (**bust)

 

Mitch Kupchak: Bridges, PJ, LaMelo, Bouknight/Kai (too early) 


 

David Tepper is such a stupid sport owner. When he finally realize that this is football and not the stock market where math/analytic doesn’t play a big part in, we’ll start winning.

Second season in a row where we’ve been completely battered with injuries and they’re all the same type, every strength and conditioning coach needs to be removed. They’re obviously not getting these guys ready, Roy goes down now. Who answers to this?

Fire David Tepper. He’s the one that thinks football is the same as the stock market.

Players are demanding more and more of their bodies. The harder you push, the more likely you're going to have something break. 

That’s not true. Tom Brady recently spoke about it a couple days ago saying the NFL is making football soft. Light practices, no more hitting, etc are reasons why these players are getting hurt. Their bodies are not prepare for full contact on game day. Just like our little fan fest this year. Rhule had our players come out there pretty much in T-shirt and shorts.

That's also an anecdotal take and not a fact based one. It is possible there is some veracity to it but thr general, "It's cause they're all pussies and don't get hit anymore" take also ignores that currently NFL players are also stressing their bodies much further than in the past.

Tom brady saying the nfl is soft is peak irony.

The same people that bitch about injuries keeping players out, also tend to bitch about the focus on player safety making football 'too soft.' 

Most of our major injuries this year came from non contact plays. The only thing prevented from making football "soft" as you say is concussions. 

So great comparison!

    • I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
