According to the good doctor himself in the video Yolo posted, neither of these posts are correct. His job is not 'just to run the numbers,' it's to come to conclusions based on those statistical models. And yes, he is involved with player acquisition/team-building.
He is not a decision maker. He can come to whatever conclusions he wants about players, schemes, etc, but the coaches, GM, and management may or may not follow those conclusions.

No, they are a team in a bad cap situation with a lack of talent. I see that as an indictment on the numbers people. This guy absolutely had a say in all of these deals. He was either, a part of the problem, or didn’t have enough respect in the room to have his voice heard. Either way you slice it, that’s is not a good look IMO.
Why would an analytics guy be involved in contract negotiations? The cap has nothing to do with his job.
You have no idea what his job was, how much influence he had, if he was respected, what good or bad moves he was involved in, etc. You can't just make such rash inferences without any information whatsoever.
He took a job with a division rival. That to me says he was not super happy there,Cor happy with the direction the organization was heading.

Curious, how did this guys work on analytics work out for the Dolphins? Seems to me the Dolphins have been pretty crappy since 2015.
There is a difference between understanding / creating analytics and actually applying them effectively to an organization.
You think this guy is involved in the application of analytics? His job is to run the numbers. The coaches and management make decisions based on them (or they don't).

No thanks. He's been a mirage for years.

For comparison fun:
Lamar Jackson:
Ceiling: Michael Vick.
Josh Allen:
Ceiling: Steve Young.
I keep saying that the QB Allen most compares to IMO is Steve Young. I think he is going to be a feared passer and a feared scrambler just like Young was.
Steve Young was always pretty accurate though.

Buffalo needs to just do what they can to improve the team overall. All three phases need improvement, including the defense. Yes, I agree that the offense needs the most attention, but if we bring in a couple impactful defenders to really put this defense over the top, can anyone complain? We need an edge rusher, and more depth at linebacker and Corner.
But yes, the bulk of the attention should go to the offense.

It's not like these picks are randomly given out... There's a reason that the Pats are the best during the season, and it's because they're also the best during the offseason.
They're rewarded for letting their players walk in free agency. They can do that because they have the personnel to get by with less talent.

Like I said,if Beane does his job properly over the spring/summer,players like lacey won't be on this football team.6-10 is in the past.When a franchise has over 80 million in savings...you don't re-sign players like him..the same can be said about Pitts.
It's pretty clear that you have no idea what you are talking about. Tons of players will get signed throughout the league to bring rosters up to 90 men. Having some depth guys who know the system already and who contribute on special teams, and who you are comfortable with, is valuable.
And by the way, many Bills free agents that we don't sign will get signed up by other teams. Guys like Lacey and Pitts, who have real playing experience, would get signed by other teams.

Holy cow. I always thought he looked like a sleeze ball.
What will the NFL do?

For the fellas that said he's a good ST'er....maybe you should slow down on the beer drinking during the games.This signing did nothing to improve this football team.
NOTTA.
So strange that people like you like to complain about the bottom feeders on the roster all the time.
Yes, Lacey is not an all-pro LB. Thanks for reminding us.

People don't like diva, me-first, poor attitude players. Bills fans are not alone in this.

Yeah, I get the math, but if you re-read what you wrote it becomes pretty clear this 'easiest schedule' thing is one of the dumbest conversation topics of the year.
I don't think it is dumb to talk about. I do think people need to realize that strength of schedule doesn't mean much.

This is a reflection of the divisions the AFC East is scheduled to face this year. This means that the Bills, Dolphins, and Jets should have easier schedules as well, with the major difference being that they have to face the Patriots, which automatically makes it harder for them.
There are huge changes in the Dynamics of good, bad, and average teams each year, though. Strength of schedule doesn't mean much.
3 hours ago, KD in CA said:Don't the Bills and NE* play the same schedule except for two games where they play KC/Houston and the Bills play Denver/Tennessee?
Yes, except the Bills play the Patriots and the Patriots play the Bills. Therefore they have an easier schedule. Facing a 6-10 team is easier than facing the defending Superbowl champions.

Anyone who thought Jackson should be drafted high in the 1st was on crack. He's got bust written all over him.
Harbaugh will scheme him to some wins, but he'll flame out. His biggest weakness is the most fundamental aspect of playing QB: staying in the pocket and making throws. It's the same reason why Tyrod won't ever be a franchise guy. Russell Wilson can do it and Cam Newton can do it. Their running ability enhances their play, but it doesn't define it.
If the best defense is to make you be a QB, you won't succeed at QB in the NFL.

The strength of schedule is never the same as how it looks in the off-season. Last year's BRUTAL Bills schedule ended up being not bad at all.
I never understood why anyone thought it was brutal to begin with. I was preaching that it was a pretty average or even an easy schedule.

I'll mark them with a red pen.

6'7" and 260 Ibs? Sign me up. Sick of having an undersized, oft injured TE. Clay was only 6'3", basically a heavy, slow WR.

Sure He was able to. He audibled to a QB scramble often. LOL
No he didn't. Scrambles are called pass plays that turn into QB runs after the ball is snapped. Audibles happen presnap.

So he wants to get paid like a QB. Ok...

Jones might not have been the most engaging foil for Joe Rockhead, but at least with him, I never had to smack the dashboard, thinking the radio was on the fritz. Those long pauses are just Tasker trying to rerail his train of thought.
His stuttering can be annoying, but apparently some are more annoyed by it than others. I don't care about that too much.

To be fair, it was nothing that should disqualify him from football.
He has like 7 kids with three women. He was with the mother of like four of his kids (the vocal one on twitter), knocked her up again, and then left her for a different woman he knocked up. Then he went back to her, and then left her again. That story probably doesn't mean much in isolation, but following them on twitter and instagram while it unfolded revealed just how scummy he was.
Again, that doesn't mean he shouldn't be allowed to play football or anything, and lots of guys do that stuff, but watching it in real time left a pretty poor taste in my mouth.
Does he just not know where babies come from? There are ways to prevent pregnancy...

Really dumb of them to draft him that high. I seem to remember him injuring himself on one of his 40 yard dash attempts. He had injury bust written all over him, in my opinion.
But he destroyed our team in preseason. He clearly has potential, and for a late round pick he could provide some upside. Just has to get and stay healthy.
Sounds like Foster before he put things together.
