    All I’m saying is the 2-7 Saints are beating the 6-3 Falcons after a coaching change.

    They had one of the best OL during the Tom Thayer years

    Explain how this works? It’s like signing a kid from the DR? Whoever has the most IFA money and good connections wins?

    This is The Bad Place. The 2016 Cubs Tilted the universe off it's axis. All that is left is that abyss.

    what is the point of this post?

    Can I interest you in Willy Adames?

    WAR is meaningless when his OPS+ is 100. The Cubs need run producers.

    I've said this multiple times and it's nice to have confirmation from the media. Jed is Tommy Boy's Tommy Boy. He is an extension of ownership. They have Wrigley and that's all they need to print money.

    There is a lot of those in Philly, you'll have to do something to stand out.

    Pefect.

    I read a post on Brett's website that said Caissie is a hot name on the trade front. I don't know what that means.

    I remember Nelson Vazquez and Canario ripping up the AFL and it gets me irrationally excited. Thanks for the context.

    I have a question: Let's say for the sake of argument that the Cubs trade for a minor leaguer who is on the 40-man roster for his team. Does that mean he automatically has to be added to the 40-man for the Cubs? This is purely an academic question, no context.

    Is Long a real prospect or is this AFL helium?

    I watched the Packers/Lions game. The Bears are not beating either of those teams. Both play fundamentally better and seem to have a plan from the start of the game that works.

    a comment on the article says it better than I can Patrick K. · 6h 34m ago A blind trust in models and analytics is how you end up with a lifeless team that meanders its way through a two month stretch where it gets its ass mercilessly kicked without seemingly caring. There are no stats that measure “fire”, “spark”, “edge” , “leadership” etc. You can’t derive those things by looking at a chart telling you an outfielder’s route efficiency or a 2B’s hard hit rate. There is a place for those and other metrics and the PhD mathematician analyzing them in a windowless room somewhere in bowels of Wrigley, but you need scouts to help you understand the qualitative side of players and prospects. The Cubs are a premier franchise - they should be able to afford fully staffed talent evaluation departments on both the quant side and on the more qualitative scouting side. This is what is so frustrating about this franchise - the consistent desire to run it at optimal organizational efficiency rather than for optimal on field results.

    https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5894639/2024/11/04/cubs-offseason-front-office-changes-analytics-playoffs/ I'm not necessarily against the strategy, but I don't know why a team with their recourses cannot do both. Reading between the lines, Jed's job appears to be relatively safe and their goal is to become the Cleveland Guardians, kind of.

    You can substitute any non-Cheifs team who consistently wins if you like.
  20. CubinNY
    LOL, you brought up two of the best QBs and probably the best QB of all time in an argument that coaching doesn't matter. Well, yes, with those three it probably doesn't matter.
  21. CubinNY
    They are also outliers you are trying to make a point with. When the Bears have a no-doubt hall of fame QB or any number of other teams who seem to win (Steelers) without them you may have a point. Obviously, you tend to go to poles on stuff like this. And it's not black and white. Coaching matters and it matters more when guys break into the league. It's not chicken or egg.
  22. CubinNY
    Manning won what in Denver?
  23. CubinNY
    You mention outliers like they prove something. Manning and Rodgers didn't win anything, and Brady's team won on defense. You can compensate all you want but it doesn't change the game.
  24. CubinNY
    I am really at a loss about what the Cubs should do. They should not run out a similar team to the one on the field the last two years. I haven't a clue how to accomplish it.
  25. CubinNY
    Whether Kyle wants to admit it or not, it's the coaching. The NFL's talent level is bunched up around the mean. The Curve is steep, and the standard deviation is narrow. Coaching is more important than in any other sport. I don't think they will be making any changes.
