Not about them being cheap or miserly outliers. Because Benson isn't. Like whoknows and Alamar said, the salaries aren't comparable to other fields.

i have a feeling it has nothing to do with money and more with them not desiring to make it a key part of the organization quite yet.
The relevant question would be what do the Saints budget for analytics? Loomis talking about the video stuff they are using sounds awfully similar to Synergy. Granted football is behind basketball in terms of analytics, but that's not exactly cutting edge.

There's no doubt they aren't Philly when it comes to analytics. However, I just don't believe a group who secretly thinks the game like Charles Barkley would be so quick to point out to the world that they don't
I believe there can be a happy medium between what Philly is trying and where somebody like Barkley lives.
