Quote:You guys would be shocked how valid the eye test is. The eye test could have helped us avoid Blaine Gabbert. There is true validity to the eye test.


Besides. Analytics don't seem to be working out to well for Tony.

Blaine's problem was the intangibles which you obviously can't really factor in on stats. However analytics have been shown to be rather successful, hence why most sports are using then to a very large degree. The eye test is fine but like I said I'd rather trust the perception by a paid scout or expert instead of some guy on the message board that can't ever find one thing positive to say about the team. That seems a bit biased to me. Arob had one of the best SPARQ scores ever for any WR and the other guys around his score are all elite players. It's unlikely he will not be a good player unless he is missing the intangibles like work ethic or toughness. Both of which I think he has.
