I changed my name because the site had that email bug where I couldn't log in anymore. The entire football community loves spider charts because they show size and athletic capabilities in one tidy snapshot. It's just pure data it's not good or bad. It's the exact same thing as what mathbomb does now but in a different visual format, and pretty everyone loves mathbomb too.

Certain smooth brained people around here didn't like them because people would say idiotic stuff like Fowler was a freak athlete because he ran a fast 40 and then people who knew better would laugh and say no he's actually extremely unathletic in the drills that mattered. That rubbed those people the wrong way and they decided to hate the lifeless, raw tool instead of confront their own misconceptions and biases.

All those prospects with great Spyder charts that turned out to be total busts is why many of us "smooth-brained" ppl still watch football players play football in addition to digesting stats and analytics to form our opinions. 
Despite your narrow perspective on what "pretty much everyone in the football community" loves or doesn't love. 

You rely on statistical data more than most around here and by now should be accustomed to the aversion to that approach. 

Also - Choosing a gatur player as an example is not going to show much objectivity given the rampant bias to that college program in this fanbase. Of course many illogically defended him.
