Speeding in Cleveland. They found pot in the car. Only cited for speeding. We weren’t going to resign him anyway. Analytics say the wind blew to the left at 11:17am on the 3rd Saturday of the month

They don’t have to qoute resign him per say as he is a RFA. You tender those guys. And an asset with his skill you tender say at 2nd round level if you want to get rid of him. If ya wana keep him then ya tender him at 1st then.
Just my opinion though.

DS is right. Also Soup you’re assuming that he wants to go just because he isn’t RB 1, but he’s been the perfect soldier even when asked to block for Chubb and run decoy routes. We’re the only team that gave him a shot to rejoin the NFL. It’s possible he would stay, but more likely we get that 2nd round pick from another team.
I’m not saying he wants gone. I’m saying new guys won’t resign him. Remember, new guys ONLY use analytics. Football acumen and on field production is meaningless

Do you believe half the shit you post??
When Sashi was in charge, the drafts were filled with players that had tons of stat of college, i.e. tons of on-field production. Obviously your hung up on analytics because Sashi was terrible at drafting, but the reality is all teams use analytics to some degree, in some form or fashion.
Regarding Hunt, this is a non story until/if he fails a drug test. I don’t see ya resigning him, but it is possible since Chubb is still on his rookie contract this year and next. Wouldn’t be that much money at the position.
Sashi was bad at drafting because they drafted solely on analytics. That’s back again accept this time our private workouts will include fielding ground balls and curve balls

Agreed, he was terrible because he had NO experience evaluating talent prior to taking the VP position and drafted solely on analytics.
That doesn’t mean analytics are useless. The best tool is useless in the hands of a man that’s never nailed two pieces of wood together.

He was hired in 2016 and analytics went 1-31. Then they hired a football guy who helped accumulate 13 wins and was fired, because the analytics guy who was 1-31 was viewed as more important.
Analytics was their sole drafting method. Analytics is the only thing Depodesta, who is in charge of the organization, knows. Analytics will be the sole basis of our draft.
Analytics said we should hire a QB coach (interim OC for 3 games) as coach. He lost out.
Analytics egomaniac decided he only wanted an OC who has NEVER designed an offense and solely called plays, to be head coach.
Sparq scores will drive the draft. Hello Corey Coleman.
Keep fighting the gold fight. This has as much chance of working as I have at having a three way with Jennifer Aniston and Kate Upton

Counterpoint: football guys success was largely due to the massive resources he had to work with thanks to the ANALYTICS approach of hoarding draft capital.
Football guy also decided to hire a running backs coach with 8 games as an interim OC as the HC.
Football guy also drafted Austin Corbet, Antonio Calloway, and Genard Avery, only to give up on them completely 16 months later.
And Football Guy kept Mr. 1-31 around for an additional 7 or 8 games in 2018, in a complete waste of a season.
Callaway was a 1st round talent he took a chance in in round 4 like he did with Tyreek Hill.
Gerard Avery? Seriously? A 5th round pick trades to Philly because the coaching stuff wasn’t dressing him. He had a whopping 5 tackles and a .5 sack.
Corbett didn’t pan out. It happens.
The Duke Johnson trade was dumb.
Compare that to:
Corey Coleman sun 6 foot WR who never ran routes in college.
Giving away Deshaun Watson. No, seriously. Giving away Deshaun Watson to the Texans.
Shon Coleman anyone?
Jabrill Peppers?
Cody Kessler?
DeShone freaking Kizer who was benched for suck multiple times in and picked in freaking round 2! A UDFA talent.
They had the resources. Analytics is the worst idea in football since they introduced new overtime rules

Already said Sashi was terrible at drafting. Never should have been a gm. Not going over his picks.
Just admit you have no clue what analytics are and be down with it. You understand the term or it’s implementation in the slightest.
I do know what analytics means. We saw it’s implementation at 1-31 with terrible drafts. They touted having a bunch of Harvard grads in the FO. All analytics is what they used. That was their metrics for player selection. That’s what you are missing in this situation

I’m missing nothing. Depodesta was around for Dorsey as well. So, until they hire a gm, it’s impossible to say how they will draft. The only thing they have said is that Depodesta will not be involved in player evaluation and making draft selection. A FACT (depodesta stated it himself) that you seem to be overlooking.
My guess is they want an experienced player evaluator who is open to utilizing analytics to some degree, which I’m on board with. Sashi had no experience evaluating players. That’s why he failed miserably. It was the operator, not the tool.
Give me the best race car, and I still won’t be Jimmy Johnson.
Give me the best rifle, and I still won’t be a great sniper.
Give me a billion dollars to invest, and I still won’t be Warren Buffet.
Give Sashi the best analytics tools there are, and he’s still not a GM.
It’s pretty simple.
