I think a lot of it is Staley has essentially become the face of analytics and so whenever the traditionalists can cast his "analytics moves" as catastrophic in nature (i.e. the timeout cost them the playoffs), they will do that. Nevermind, of course, the timeout wasn't even slightly an analytics decision. If it were Belichick making the timeout I doubt he gets dunked on even slightly.
