Re: Bill Polian: 'Moneyball does not work in the NFL'
^^^ Agreed. Polian also is comparing to how analytics worked in baseball and then says essentially baseball is different than football. Yes, and so will the impact of analytics be: different. It doesn't necessarily equate to middle class undervalued players. Analytics <> Moneyball.3

Re: Bill Polian: 'Moneyball does not work in the NFL'
It is my understanding that analytics is utilized extensively in baseball and basketball. Not so much in football. Until some team makes extensive use of a version of analytics geared toward football, it's probably premature to say it doesn't work.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Statistical models have limitations in football evaluation because of the dynamics of the game. A players' responsibility on a given play can't always be shown in a statistical model. That is always the disclaimer given by the people who actually compile advanced football statistics.

And then changes the defense every other year.

He did. And Chris Polian probably made extensive use of metrics in his player eval. (sorry, couldn't resist).
