"Hey guy posting on NFL.com, thanks for assuming the entire fanbase consists of complete idiots!"
That's Michael Lombardi. Perhaps you are not giving him enough credit as a former NFL executive? He is more than just "some guy".
"ESPN/NFL films has been feeding this to us for years using their access to All-22"
That is a partially correct statement. They would highlight specific plays and break them down for us (Ron Jaworski is great at this). However, for the first time the fans can get these raw tapes of footage and break it down themselves. With no help from the pros.
Easier said than done.
- swang 14y agoMy point isn't that he isn't an expert on the NFL. But I would say he does not know much if he thinks giving people more information will make people jump to conclusions they've already made beforehand. Giving people this information is not any more detrimental than broadcasting the game on a TV. You will always have people shouting, "what an idiot" when a QB misses a receiver, adding this will at least give them additional information.
- roc 14y agoI don't think the 'average fan' is ever breaking anything down on their own. It just requires too much dedication and time to build the knowledge. But the key is that this isn't being released to just the average fans. What we're more likely to see, is a cottage industry of superfans springing up to 'go-Jaworski' on more plays, more games, etc. And that content will be consumed by the average fan.
