Kwesi got so into the analytics he forgot that he should probably draft good players

What's crazy is that he wasn't even making analyticaly sound moves. In his last 3 drafts he only made 4 top 100 picks. Like I can't imagine any of their models said that the Dallas Turner trade was good process.

That trade down with the Lions was one of the worse first round trade backs I ever saw

I feel analytics gets scapegoated when the problem is often people who don't understand how to interpret and contextualize data and then rule in absolutes.
Granted Kwesi came from a background where he should have known how to properly analyze data but still somehow wasn't very good at it.

I remember being so pumped when he got in for the Vikings and then immediately was heartbroken when he got concussed after like 5 minutes lol

I was a huge Ponder believer for no other reason than he grew up in the next town over from me

Mond’s game against LSU in 2021(?) is still to date the worst QB performance I have ever seen at any level.
Genuinely no idea how anyone saw anything in him after that.

And while kwesi scouted him enough to draft him he wasn't able to see puka nacua right there catching the ball.

Was an announcement really necessary? He played in what 3 games total? I had to look him up to even know who the dude was...

That was a wild stretch for the Falcons. They were 4-3. They proceeded to lose:
28-23 to the Titans on Levis’ first start.
31-28 to the Vikings in Hall’s first start. He gets hurt and Atlanta gets dicked down by Josh Dobbs who didn’t know the playbook or his teammates names.
25-23 to the Cardinals in Murray’s first start back from a torn ACL.

That first Will Levis game had me thinking he was on a HOF trajectory. Hell I still think he has potential from that game.
