I can read a ED article and not care how long it is, because it tells a story I become invested in. Maybe try wrapping these fancy stats in a more conventional story to make it easier for a guy like me to follow. I’m a fan of what the Athletic is trying to accomplish and am subscribed for the next year, look forward to seeing your style develop.
Just my 0.02.

Thanks for your candor Steve, I understand. One of the reasons The Athletic went with myself and EH is that we cover the game in very different ways. I have my audience and niche, which I seek to do as well as possible. Unfortunately, it's impossible for one person to be all things to all people.
That said, as I build the CGY Athletic team I plan to add people with a variety of skills. I'd like someone who can do in-depth X's and O's, someone who can do player profiles/human interest, as well as the analytics I do and high-level interviews and profiles or EH.
