Message: [QUOTE="OttosShoes, post: 5540239, member: 10231"] Rickie is, I am sorry to say, [I]historically[/I] bad. He's not just inefficient, he routinely helps the other team with possessions and field position. The odds of historically bad are by definition pretty low. This argument contends that we have three other people on the roster at the same time (and four if you count wildcat) that are [I]even more historically bad[/I]. To have five options like that on the roster at the same time seems improbable. It's possible, absolutely, but if we're going to pick the simplest argument I don't think that's it. I don't doubt it as a fan. I wear my orange and eat my nachos and cheer for the passes Rickie does make. I detest the boos. I doubt it as a donor and a businessman. Fran has been playing moneyball, and part of moneyball is efficiency over gut feel. We don't even know what the practical efficiency is of the other players because we haven't even tried. [/QUOTE]
