Theres a place for analytics. Madden style tracking tools. All the technological wizadry available to sports teams. Indeed. There is a place for it, and the many other gadgets yet invented...

The place is-
To be used as complimentary tools.
Not replacement for football professionals who use the eye test, instinct, gut feeling and one on one conversation to discern talent.

Brez is invaluable. No search furm will unearth anyone better equipped to be Viking GM. Brez has watched from the room in the back. Behind the 1 way mirror. Hes seen the teams successes, failures & what coulda beens for the last 30ish years... And if click baiter Erik Straak is to be believed. Brez wants the job...

A smart owner goes through the Rooney rule compliance. Interviews what the corporate head hunters unearth.... After shaking Brez's hand. Telling him to keep it quiet. But you are already hired... Figure out the contract you think you deserve. And then we'll come to a equittable pay scale that jeeps you here until you no longer wish to be the gm.

Brez will. Always have the teams/ organizations best interest both near term,and the ling range sustainability as his #1 priority. We already know this. This isnt a stepping stone for brez. Its the final stop on his journey. We already know. His ego wont be an issue. He has always been the guy listening to the coaches. Finding a path to ink the players they want .. as such. He will hunt the free agents they want, guide the scouts to find the flores defenders and the oconnell character 1st guys each coach desires. He is the correct choice.

Brez isnt going to pull s herschel trade, nor ever consider a dimitrious underwood pencil to the neck moment as a " bonus pick". Brez isnt going to reinvent the wheel or the trade chart just so we can say we are trying hard via outside the bix thinking.
The nfl is a game of cliches, musdirection and deception- outside the closed doors.
Inside the house. Trustworthy proffessional that know the ropes are a valuable commidity that usually leads to champion results if a team recognizes the people inside the building. Snd then rides 'em.

If they hire from outside?
All that purple family coming together moment- that lay on the doorstep in this moment? It all gets flushed.

The weakest link. The gimpy arm has been removed. Addition by subtraction. And gaving the wisdom of a 30 year talent evaluator capologist genius at the ready. To take all these lessons of infighting, power struggles and swinging pendulums. Use it all as the mana of unification?

Often times- the right play is directly in front of you- Itsa no brainer!

I always loved the way Eva Marie pronounces "brook tr-OWE-t".

Anybody remember my story about the cops beating down Jeith Johnson at the pool hall. The night i walked away with Doris. Doris looked like Eva Marie Saint. Same eyes, blonde cut in a bob. Slender, curvy... Bombshell when she geew up.
