@JoeA_NFL @Jorden_____ Say ty Simpson fails as a byproduct of external factors and decision makers are incapable of properly analyzing the situation - GM gets fired because he becomes the obvious easy scapegoat. GMs are financially incentivized to risk aversion due to nfl complexity
English

@JoeA_NFL @Jorden_____ Problem is, as you have stated yourself numerous times, is that a large portion of front office and ownership is composed of reactionary, results oriented midwits that are incapable of separating signal from noise, and have no conceptual understanding of causality

@MiddleearthMixr First time my wife and I watched the movies together I leaned over to tell her that factoid and she said she already knew lmao
English

MT was a star and Vonn was a solid starter. Tyler Shough is the starting QB and Riley started a majority of the season as a rookie. Kelvin Banks started 17 games and looks like a cornerstone LT. The two this year still haven't played.
There's one of the five picks who is a TBD because he got hurt.

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy That’s simply not true historically or analytically. Why did Barry sanders win 1 (one) playoff game his entire career? And this in an era where run game mattered more. Read the article I posted before, I promise it’ll edify everything I’ve said prior regarding this subject.
English

@Nollij1 @FreakyPeezy A generational running back will have much more significance than (maybe) a good edge (they’ll be mediocre at best in the league, which we can just resign Cam for if that’s the bar) and another Olave comp WR or one that can’t stay on the field
English

That all being said i am giving my bold take. I would rather you trade 2 firsts to go up to 3 or 2 and take Jeremiyah love than stick at 8 and take tyson
Freaking about Football@FreakyPeezy
The more I think of it. What is the one thing every sainta fans agrees on. Its that saints dont have many young stars and I think loomis/saints FO knows that. And if they are thinking "We have to get star talent" They will take boom/bust > safe option Which means its tyson
English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy Correct, but that drives home another point that is extremely salient - running back success is predicated so much on o line and scheme, and reinforces the foolhardiness of drafting RB so high when everything else is incomplete.
English

@Nollij1 @FreakyPeezy I’m only using his contract as an example. Wasn’t his fault their OL is trash
English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy It’s hilarious that you used jeanty as an example when he’s like the poster boy of why not to draft a RB (as good as he is) so high - the raiders had tons of holes and as such his value was significantly blunted due to external factors.
English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy No, a receiver like I’ve stated numerous times (or an edge, or corner). Which we would not only pay significantly below market value, but would also contribute more valuable production than the next best alternative. And again you’re still ignoring second order effects
English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy It’s not a matter of IF we have it, we obviously do, it’s about optimal allocation of capital. Using a non trivial percentage of our resources on RB that could’ve been used to pay a more valuable position is poor roster construction. You have to think 2nd and 3rd order effects!
English

@Nollij1 @FreakyPeezy I’m just not concerned about money. Neither should you be. It’s not your money


English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy What? Roster building in the nfl is predicated on positional value being properly compensated based on value added to team. How is this even an argument? If love added 2 wins to our team but we paid him 100 million a year would you still want him over two Myles Garretts?
English

@Nollij1 @FreakyPeezy Genuinely who gives a shit how much we’re paying him 😭
English

@JoeA_NFL This is a fight very much worth fighting, and it becomes hilariously obvious that even if he WAS generational, drafting him top 5/10 just doesn’t move the needle that much unless your team is already stacked everywhere else (uncommon for teams drafting that high)

English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy Run that same comparison when you draft Tyson/tate/lemon at 8.
English

I truly hope you read this article and internalize the core principles (I’m not optimistic on this prospect) but even if you don’t, just think about how much you’d be paying love compared to other running backs drafting him at 2 or 3 and then…
English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy Alright so, what does acknowledging any other good saints offense even mean? Genuinely don’t even know what you’re talking about here when the crux of the argument rests on running backs being highly replaceable
English

@Nollij1 @FreakyPeezy You refuse to acknowledge any other good Saints’ offense except for the 1 season they won the SB because it doesn’t support your argument, that’s how dogshit your argument is
English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy It’s not “methodically” sound cause that’s a completely different word you fucking moron lmfao
English

@Nollij1 @FreakyPeezy It’s methodically sound? Really? What’s really sound is how much of a dumbass you are
stærkeste@SRkeste90798
@Nollij1 @FreakyPeezy Hell man, look at the Saints best offense. Every single one of them had one of the best run games in the league. Most of them we have a bunch of Mason Tiptons at WRs. You can talk about “positional value” all you want, but absolutely nothing supports your argument
English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy “Look at the saints best offense” yeah man n=1 super compelling argument. Which I doubt you understand anyway seeing as you’ve devolved into petty insults cause you know you’re wrong but can’t admit it
English

@Nollij1 @FreakyPeezy Hell man, look at the Saints best offense. Every single one of them had one of the best run games in the league. Most of them we have a bunch of Mason Tiptons at WRs. You can talk about “positional value” all you want, but absolutely nothing supports your argument
English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy There’s one running back on the field, there’s 3 receivers (assuming most common alignment). Who would an 8th overall pick wr replace on our current roster? You don’t know what you’re talking about
English

@Nollij1 @FreakyPeezy So you’ll compare Love to our RB1 but you won’t compare Tyson/Tate to our WR1, that’s not even a similar comparison roster-wise. Your argument is so bullshit that you had to argue Tyson/Tate compared to practice squad members
English

@SRkeste90798 @FreakyPeezy I’m “biased” against running backs because that’s the methodologically sound position to hold provided you understand how the modern nfl works. If you’re too lazy to actually dive into the data I’ll be happy to give you an easily interpretable synopsis
English

@Nollij1 @FreakyPeezy That’s not true at all. There’s a massive difference between the range Love had and Etienne. You just don’t see it because you’re biased against running backs
