I don’t know what a digital content creator does exactly… 

 

Well id be shocked if she isn't writing or speaking about the Bills from an analytical standpoint. 

 

She's really good with that stuff and seems very passionate about it

Ugh.  She is one of my least liked commentators.  Her need to spew ridiculous predictions is really annoying.  "My computer program predicts that Singletary will get 73.28 yards today and Josh Allen will throw for 381.328 yards."  I don't really know why she irritates me so much, but just round to the nearest 5 yards for stat predictions!  Oh well, maybe she will put in the time and research and surprise me with her coverage.

I’m not an analytics guy but you can’t really fault someone for doing their job. That was what they hired her to do.

She's going to make exclusive videos and write articles for the Bills website.

 

And probably be a regular guest in One Bills Live. 

 

She's basically a colleague of Chris Brown and Maddy Glabb now.

Or her contract with NFLN wasn’t renewed….

 

Doesn't mean she can't do both...

I would just think that 34 yards rushing and 21 yards receiving gets rounded to 35 and 20.  Again, I am not quite sure why that bothers me so much.  Maybe it says more about me!   I find her very annoying, but I might be in the minority here.  Why couldn't the Bills pry Kay Adams away from the NFL Network?!

Is this normal across the league?  I’ve just never heard of teams randomly signing well known NFLN or ESPN people - under contract, or not - to work as digital content contributors.  
 

Now go get Kyle Brandt for OBL.

OMG< she's one of the worst fantasy predictors ever!  Nice to look at but for any football IQ value I give this a big thumbs down..

I agree with you about her being a terrible fantasy predictor.

I stay away from NFLN mostly, she looks like that girl from sapranos that got shot in the woods, tonys nephews girl or something (i didnt watch that show much either)

I never made that connection but you are spot on, she does resemble her.

As for her fantasy predictions, it seems to be purely math driven, based on her parameters and variables. I always just use that as a building block and use it to confirm my own opinions, not drive them.

She's adding digital content; her predictions don't matter, hits do.

I am pretty sure she did this for the Raiders as well or some other team... Panthers? That would make sense.

 

Basically, the Bills are hiring her to provide research on whatever they ask basically. But its like a 3rd party vendor. She can be hired by any team and she will still be working at NFLN as well, I'm guessing. I could be totally wrong, but I am pretty sure she was hired by a team in this role previously. I'm not sure if this would have to even be exclusive to 1 team at a time. There would have to be signed no disclosure agreements of course. Anyway, she is a newly proclaimed Bills fan, so who knows. We would know if that is true if there was a discount! (Not seriously, but seriously?!?!).

No comment on how good she is at what she does (never seen or read anything she’s done), but yeah those should absolutely be rounded to avoid being what I would consider misleading stats. 
 

Unless she has reason to believe her predictions are truly accurate to the thousandths place.
