Quote:So, to sum up, the team isn't winning, so the data Tony provides MIGHT be "garbage," therefore, you hope the next coach doesn't pay any attention to the owner's son?  

 

You guys are totally speculating out of your behinds, and the result is that you have a thread that criticizes the owner's son.  That is a dumb thing to do.  

 

You hope he gets better?   You hope he does not interject and override people?   You have absolutely no facts to indicate that he interjects and overrides people.  You don't even know what information he is providing, other than the fact that he crunches numbers and provides data to the team.  In short, you have no basis to criticize the guy.   You're pulling this all out of your behind.  

 

It's like some of you guys are still angry and frustrated, but the coach is gone, so you need a target for your anger.  So, how about the owner's son?   He might be a spoiled rich kid.  He might be influencing the team.   He might be one of the reasons we are losing.   It's all just coming out of your [BAD WORD REMOVED], because you have no facts behind this other than our record of 2-12. 

 

This is just my opinion, guys, but criticizing the coach or the GM is one thing, but attacking the people who control where the team is located is quite another. 

 

Obviously, we have no idea exactly what is being provided, or to what extent they are being used. We have had a few examples though. When Joeckal was the pick, Tony tweeted out the whole Blaine Gabbert stat and his QBR(?) when he gets protection as a justification to have two good tackles. When Sample was drafted, he tweeted out numbers that Sample is one of the highest (if not highest) rated coverage safety in the draft. When Yeldon was selected, he talked about his short-yardage/goal line effectiveness.

 

Well, Luke has failed. Sample has always been hurt, and Yeldon couldn't get goal line carries ahead of Denard and the team spent money to bring in Ivory to do something which according to Tony, was something TJ excelled at.
