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.

No one is saying they are Barkley. Barkley is a clown. He is very entertaining, but a clown nonetheless. He couldn't be more wrong or mindless on this "debate" anyway.
It's not about being an analytics fetishist. It's about arming yourself with as much information (that also includes scouting, interviews, and other "old school" means) as possible to make a decision.
Like I said earlier it's about actualizing your vision, whatever it may be, for success. An incurious approach to achieving that goal is reprehensible to me. Why wouldn't you want to exhaust every available avenue before making a decision that will effect that goal?

So, the most analytical team in the NBA is an abomination of a franchise? That's what I'm getting out of this.
