Pretty much. No sport is more micromanaged than the NFL with advanced measurements and stats and teams still strike out far more than they hit home runs in the draft. There's a certain eye and feel for talent that stats nerds will never have.
Pretty interesting how some Burke comments about a US player has turned into a "sky is falling" thread about how Burke will run the Flames into the ground. Just in case anyone forgot, the Flames were already into the ground when he got here.
