I don't know. I'm of the mindset that more information the better.

Just because the nerd numbers can't get you 100% of the way, doesn't necessarily mean they should be ignored either. They are helpful in their own way.

I think Pope knows there's a balance; I am in Finance as well, and I love #'s. From a 30,000 foot view, give me #'s all night, but from a granular view (play to play), sometimes, you see something and you ignore the #'s and go with what works. I know the balance concept is as obvious as it gets, but still.

It’s like when baseball got into the whole sabermetrics thing and moneyball came out and it tried to pit the stats people against the scouts and whatnot.

It’s like well no. You need both.

Any information should not be ignored. Both what the numbers can tell you and what they cannot.

Yep. You need the analytics, but also need adaptability and common sense.
