As far as coaching and Bill Peters go
Treliving has worked with Peters before
Has the opportunity to talk with players who've been coached by Peters
Has the opportunity to talk with coaches who worked with Peters
Has the opportunity to talk with other managers about Peters
Has the opportunity to talk with Peters himself
Has a video coach at his disposal who he can assign to break down video of Peters' teams
Has a stats guru at his disposal who he can assign to do statistical breakdowns of Peters' teams
You have none of that information.
So no, fans don't have anywhere near the same amount of information about a coach and its frickin preposterous to suggest you do. Assinine take. Give your head a shake

But we see the same results and from what I’ve seen on this board at least someone always nails the exact reason why something happened.
Maybe we can’t be at 100% of what the gm knows that is absolutely fair but we can definitely have enough knowledge to be about 60-70% of the way there at minimum.
So yes our opinions may not be perfect but to discount them entirely is just as wrong as assuming fans are as smart as the gm
