Well I tried to find any studies that deep dived and contrasted the "players coach" with the "disciplinarian" league-wide to see if either had a leg up on winning percentage, but am unable to find any studies (just blog posts - not the same because the odds of those having actual research behind...
With streaming and podcasts who actually watches NFL mass media pre-game anymore regardless of which station (FOX, CBS, NBC, NFL Net or ESPN)?
Sure, when the Pats dominated they got a little more screen time, but overall it's just puff piece advertisements for star players and gambling/fantasy...
Part of the reason for the complete collapse of Jones was a terrible OL that started the last two seasons so bad at pass protect that he took massive shots/hits early in the season and in games (or getting the offense in constant 2d and longs due to penalties), speeding up his clock and leading...
It's not just the medicinal improvements. It's nutrition, fitness and body maintenance, less smoking as an overall populace (although that's swinging back with marijuana), and number one a set of rules which makes quarterbacks almost untouchable versus how it was in the past.
Because Williams might be Ryan Leaf? Daniels might be Rick Mirer? MHJ might be N'Keal Harry? The draft is the most danger filled complex system of chaos ever devised while simultaneously the only real way in a salary cap league to rapidly improve. It is a miasmatic swamp of unknowns, might be's...
So the only way to get better is to only have the #1 pick in the draft??????????? I mean, that's the ONLY draft pick that isn't facing the same dilemma you are basing your opinion on - regardless of position.
Interesting and likely take here.
One the positive side - that's maybe 1 (because special teams only guys don't take up a lot of $$$ so if that's used for high cost positions it's not a one for one arrangement) or if you're lucky 2 potential additional spots for positional guys of any worth...
What to take out of this painstaking extensive research?
Those expecting a "home run"...hell even a wall double to make huge fixes to the Patriots via this year's draft are setting their expectations way too high (but will scream the loudest when they're almost inevitably dashed).
Now...
The team is improving. (controversial statement I know) They have gone from literally not being able to either run or pass block at an NFL level to getting enough of a run game to actually hit a chunk play off well timed and called play action and also make a third and fifteen conversion. You...
Not if the two injured DL (Eukule and Godchaux) are out long term. That also contributed to the Jets ability to run in the second half as they either had to put lighter DEs inside or play the remaining DLs all the snaps.
Injuries have severely impacted this team on both sides of the ball...
