Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Analytics would support the result, but only if it was both trades or none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Have we finally entered the era of analytics and moneyball in Buffalo? No , it was a move to save face before next offseason when SW refuses to sign and the Bills look even worse as he had a great 2017 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouds Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Analytics tell you that Sammy's the better WR, so no, we certainly are not using analytics. We also traded for a CB that is older, has no cost control remaining, and is inferior in every way to the player we traded. Moneyball is about a change in the way we operate, top to bottom. Cleveland is changing the way they operate, full tank, acquire as many picks as possible and draft from the ground up. I think the jury is still out on whether we've truly changed the way we operate, especially after getting rid of the cost controlled Darby for the soon to be FA EJ Gaines. Remember, this wouldn't be the first time a new regime got rid of a star offensive player. Chan/Buddy did it with Lynch. Moneyball is about an overhaul in the way we operate, from scouting, to free agency, to development. No one can answer that right now.
