Your assessment of Brandon Staley

[ThaVirus]

The 4th down call from their own 18 was inexcusable. And I generally like the aggression when Herbert's your QB.

It seems like the guy is alł analytics. Sometimes common sense should overrule.

It's interesting though: the Chargers just went from probably the most old school, conservative coach in the league in Lynn to now the most brash analytics guy in the league in Staley. Narrowly missed the playoffs both seasons.

Let's hope they keep ****ing it up, because a happy medium this year probably nets them an 11-6/12-5ish record.

Yea. He seems like a guy who thinks he’s smarter than the game.

Everything should be situational and alway depends on flow of the game, etc. these are real players with real emotions, not numbers. Football is completely different than baseball.

It amazes me that people can't see this. Analytics in football can be used beneficially to an extent, but to try and use them for situational calls is not a wise approach.

Baseball is literally 54 different 1 on 1 matchups throughout the course of the game. Football is 11 vs 11 every single play, and there's no way a computer is going to predict what 22 individual players are going to do in a single snap. Way too many variables.

Anyone who is trying to use analytics in football the same way they are in baseball is going to fail massively.

Yeah, their aggressive play calling and the high reward that could come of it is what would make me nervous in a playoff game... make a few 4th downs or being unlike most coaches and actually throwing beyond the sticks on a 3rd and 15, and you get what we had here last night.
