my take is that they are progressing slowly and carefully with Allen. one thing at a time... that is an effective way to teach and learn. they are focused on the short passing game right now and are seeing vast improvement. i don't think they need more than that, they were winning with the short passes, no need to get aggressive until they feel Allen is ready for that. so yes i agree i want them to go for it. but i think the reason they do not is educationally based.

i'd like for him to be good - Miami sucking is just boring. i prefer rivals that matter.

i don't get why Miami is involved. if they are in sell mode, they need picks.

I ignored them because there were too many. I'd say no more than three are necessary.

looks like we have the perfect excuse.

No. You are confused about statistics, as if such an analysis is simple. It is not. There are many confounding variables present. How do you figure for those? It takes a much deeper analysis (edit: If it is even possible with the info we have available) IMO it is those who use stats to prove things incorrectly who are lazy. These numbers do not mean what you say they mean. Do an actual, sound analysis.

that's not correct. they hate him because they said his college numbers said he couldn't work. the truth is they are terrible analysts who don't know how to properly interpret data and Allen reveals this.

Dune, if you count hearing character's inner thoughts.

How about a dude with a shotgun mic?

clearly did not read my response. and no, it is not that simple, and you have nothing to back it up. well done!

many factors. for example, if his leadership is the reason a guy rises to be a star, worth it. not saying that is the case, just that it's not as simple as "too few yards for too much money"

that depends.

"the analytics proves it" siiiiiigh. no it does not.

great music. i prefer a live performance, these are some amazing musicians in action:

this analysis is problematic. all it actually shows is how the team's decisions lined up with an algorithm. that's it. you cannot draw any more conclusions than that. there is nothing that shows the bot is correct. maybe the bot is wrong 100% of the time. that would mean we are one of the worst decision makers (for example). analysis is fun, but far too many people draw conclusions from it when there is no basis for it. decision making is far more complicated than making a decision tree and following it.

Guaranteed to go to the superbowl 60% of the time...every time.

the name Chuck Berry will be remembered in the year 2219.

As a Canadian I'd like to say I would never want this.

I guess we just disagree re: Williams being "popular". What is more popular than the star wars theme? Absolutely agree we could name a plethora of symphonic composers better than Williams.

it may be sugary pop but it is some of the very best sugary pop out there. writing tonally and to picture is quite limiting for a composer. Williams mastered the technique and set the stage for pretty much all film music afterward. "classical" audiences may scoff at Williams, but i think most "classical" composers would agree that some of his work has excellent qualities, foremost being well written suprisingly-not-so-simple tonal melodies. as for complexity, that's relative. complexity is a thing for some composers from the past 129 years. but there are plenty of new classical compositions lauded with praise which are more simple than a Harry Potter score, if not downright kitsch...yet somehow it is great in its simplicity/kitsch.

He may be great, but he will not be remembered for his symphonic works. I stand by my answer of John Williams. His name will be remembered, he is the big daddy of film music, and he writes popular, catchy and somewhat complex works.

Haha what a ridiculous statement. I'm beginning to think these analytics guys have zero concept of math or statistics. OK I kid. I knew they had no concept a long time ago.

it's debatable. my opinion is it is pop music. i mean, i actually can't think of music much more popular than the star wars themes or the harry potter title. but i can see why you disagree, it's not drums and bass and singer. but definitely not popular. i agree with your radical view though, i prefer Mahler and Shostakovich (and Bartok and Berio and others) to Beethoven. and how is Bach lost in all this? Bach is #1 baby!

Actually on the level of Beethoven/Mozart? Maybe John Williams, if you consider film music pop music. Zappa was great but that's not pop music.

I do not understand. I have never heard of brady referred to as "Tom Terrific". Is it not a requirement of trademarks that the name in question be in regular use - at least somewhat?
