The @NFLPA just released their player team report cards for 2024 and the results are ... suboptimal for the Chiefs.
Head coach Andy Reid gets A+ but Chiefs rank dead last in training staff and ownership. Ownership gets an F- from the players. pic.twitter.com/2XyHkQfFru
Such a BS survey. If an owner makes decisions on the coach/GM/staff that allow your "team" to compete for the Lombardi and the personal glory that it brings for 5 consecutive years, how does that rate a "F-"? I guess you want him to be a drinking buddy and that makes him a better owner? [Reply]

Honestly, I think they're misrepresenting this a little. They present it as the players just giving a grade and showing the average, but there's zero chance that our players universally think Clark is the worst owner in sports. We would have heard more of that by now.
Instead, the NFLPA asked players a variety of questions in each category and gave teams a grade based on some preconceived notions of what's important.
So, for example, they might have asked whether a player had ever felt pressured to play through an injury and dinged the training staff if the player said yes. That doesn't mean they necessarily would have given the training staff an F.
The nuance is small but important. I'd love to see their actual survey questions. [Reply]
It also sounds like they asked them to give ratings in a 0 to 100 scale. On that type of scale, the tendency is to think of 50 as average, not an F.
It seems like the survey helps to identify the teams that are generally better or worse, but framing it as a letter grade almost certainly makes it all seem worse than it actually is. [Reply]

Ah that makes a lot more sense. I noticed the Chiefs rank about average on family, but the grade is only a D+. The F- is probably around a 50, which isn't that big of a deal. No way the whole team is giving Hunt a F-. This is really bad misrepresentation. [Reply]

Agreed. Was in the film industry for 16 years. Worked on films with a budget as low as $2-5 million, to stuff with nine digits, and whenever we shot on location, I was never once asked to share a room, even when I was starting out and was just a "lowly p.a.". [Reply]
I live less than 5 minutes from the Cowboys state of the art facilities in Frisco. They are without a doubt top of the line and Jerry spared no expense but at the end of the day they still overspend on FA and don’t draft quite well enough to be above mid. You play to win championships not meaningless award winning facilities. [Reply]
