[QUOTE="Novajacket, post: 925883, member: 129"] Moneyball is a nice story, and at the time it did make a difference, however once the big guys are doing the same thing, it doesn't magically still give you an advantage. As you can tell by the A's since others with bigger pockets started doing the same thing. At this point, we should be using metrics just because if we are not we won't even be average. The other side of this is we only have so much data or tools to get data, not enough sample size and the variance in factors around it can cause a lot of confusion. My biggest issue, is that it leads to this mentality that there is one way that is the perfect way to do things, thinking. It's like the guys that say you should always go for it on 4th down past the 20. I understand on avg that makes sense, however is my team good a converting 4th down? how is the other team in stopping it? Are there any injuries, what is the distance, there are a lot of factors that go into that decision. At this point, we need to get back to stability and doing the right things the right way first. Nothing we decide this year is permanent, if CBF improves our execution of offense enough and our defense improves from this year, we should be in a bowl next year. From there I trust J Batt/Key and team will keep making improvements. [/QUOTE]
