Mercer on the third like actually pisses me the heck off.
He is for sure a 2nd liner, and could even play on the first line.
I just hope this is not the plan for him...
@projectjax Ravens game it was Penix missing a wide open Bijan to seal the game. Today itโs Bijan stepping out of bounds 1 yard before the 1st down line. Falcons are improved but not good.
Penix biggest issue is he has zero touch on the ball. Canโt miss a wide open touchdown because it will inevitably come back to bite them. If they can still score it wonโt matter but if they donโt this is the difference between good teams and bad teams. Razor thin margins.
Talking about his Bayesian hierarchical model from 2010 that had Luongo ranked number 1.
90% of the GMs in the league wouldn't even know how to Google what that meant because they wouldn't know the spelling.
Analytics are subjective and this imperfect. It's the same as "old school" scouting. One person's expected goals is not the same as someone else's. The science is in the flesh and blood details. The science is an also art. It's imperfect but it can help you get close to math. I love math--it's spiritual. But, we will never reach math--because math is perfect. Plus/minus IS perfect but it's not art. Same as shots on goal. Noah Kahan's song "Downfall" is perfect art---according to my analytics.
