That’s an odd way to put it.
Those players were so bad it’s practically impossible to not also blame the analytics department. They should have shown up to the meeting in hazmat suits to make the point.
Also, you’re assuming the analytics you have access to were the models used internally. For all you know, the internal models pointed to upside.
I don’t see scouting or analytics escaping any blame the last decade.
