"...it's a good tool.  It's a good system of checks and balances."

 

"It's not going to dictate decisions, but it's going to help us go to the right decision."

 

I love to hear this.  This type of analysis and decision making has been used in business for years, but is somewhat "new" to the NFL (particularly for scouting.)  What's reassuring is that his is the right approach (using it as a tool or aid and not more than that.)

 

There are many people and organizations who do not completely grasp that and lead themselves to poor decisions based on incorrect application of such tools.  They hear the "analytics" buzzword and jump in expecting the technology to do the job for them, not knowing how to correctly implement such a tool.

 

I thought it was a nice little insight.
