In an unexpected move that’s sent ripples through the league, the Carolina Panthers are bidding farewell to Taylor Rajack, their esteemed director of football analytics. Rajack, who’s been with the team since 2019, has played a pivotal role in game planning, trend analysis, and shaping the Panthers’ approach to player research. This decision comes as a surprise to many, especially considering Rajack’s significant contributions to the team’s strategies and player selection processes, most notably in the draft selection this year.

Taylor Rajack joined the Panthers’ ranks in 2019, bringing with him a fresh perspective on how data and analytics could influence football operations. Over the years, his expertise and insights into game preparation, trend analysis, and player research have become invaluable to the Panthers. Rajack’s knack for deciphering complex data and translating it into actionable strategies has made him a central figure in the team’s decision-making process.

I can’t tell if this write up is serious or extremely sarcastic.

That's what I was thinking as I read it. How can anyone look at the Panthers drafts and overall record and say that the analytics was responsible the success? SUCCESS?

I mean this is something I'd write just to troll this forum

The genius behind the Drew Brees comparison...?  Some heatmaps of middle of the field accuracy?  Makes me want to make an "analytics" troll account and see if I can get a job with the team because of my excellent analyses...

I wonder which genius came up with the point guard comparisons

If guys like me and linville can watch youtube and see that then this dumb motherfuger is probably qualified to work at 7/11 at best.  Analytics dont have a goddamn thing to do with throwing a football.

Plug in Bryce's measurables into the analytics and see what it spits out.

Error: does not compute

I know a few of people have off-handedly mentioned the writing style was a bit weird and overdramatic. Just wanted to let you all know that it reads like that because it’s entirely AI generated. I use some writing AI programs and could tell it was fishy real quick, so I ran it through a couple programs and it came out as 98% AI generated.

 

No idea who that dude is, if he was fired, or if he was doing our drafts, but there’s a good chance most of that is false. Just a heads up

    • While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.    
    • Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
