You Bo Nix Bolievers aren't going to like this thread. Let me preface by saying this - he has been a really good system fit and has been playing well, and on time. However, isolating him from the system gets murky fast. I wrote some code to help contextualize some PFF numbers:

My goal in starting sabermetrics was to use measurement and logic to address basic, large-scale issues about baseball and sports. Why do teams win? What are the characteristics of a winning team? How are runs created? What elements of an offense are most important?

I participated in the #BigDataBowl this year!
With the help of @PattonAnalytics and @JoeArmstrong789, we created a model to see Yards Over Expected!
Best of all, I was able to contribute to the data visualization of this project!

Showdown SZN for the Jaguars vs. Bengals is up and we got a bit spicy with it!
This is one of my favorite showdown slates of the year. It's fun and freaky.
Oh, and I removed the paywall, so it's fun, freaky, and free!

If you have time over Thanksgiving break and want to learn to code in R, I put together a coding tutorial of how to use free public NFL data to look at a team's run/pass tendencies when a certain player(s) are on/off the field using R.

A rare disagreement, but I actually feel itβs the opposite
Analytics producers and consumers typically sit in different teams or silos, so the relationship is often adversarial
βI am the expert, let me convince youβ
Doesnβt matter how much you extend yourself, how empathetic you try to be, itβs still a βme vs youβ dynamic
In my experience, the best way to create adoption is to partner and let the users of analytics guide the development of analytics
βYou are the expert, let me support youβ
Totally different dynamic
Admittedly, my experience is not in sports, so it may not be transferable, but I would wager there are similarities

And this doesn't even include the natural size curve of players who play WR in the NFL. Point being: calc'ing and interpreting a metric are two completely different skillsets. Take a deep breath before arguing that a certain metric definitively proves or disproves something

Fun showdown here, lots of angels to get different and one very clear roster construction for GPPs.

Fantasy Twitter is like going to public school, you'll make some friends, learn a few basic terms and builds, and 90% of it will be completely useless in the real world

You either have to be very personable and have obnoxious takes or be a slave to a flawed but standardized process. This is how you make it in fantasy Twitter

The funny thing about dynasty is thereβs a solid chance, come December 2023, that the 23 1st is more valuable than JT straight up. And by December 2024, Iβd expect the 25 yo waddle > ~25 yo JT. Yet by consensus the JT side is the clear winner
