The Cyclical Nature of Talent vs. Scheme in the NFL and the NIL’s Potential Impact on the NFL: RSP Film and Theory with Adam Harstad and Matt Waldman




Matt Waldman's RSP Cast show

Summary: <br> Footballguys staff writer Adam Harstad joins RSP Film and Data as Matt Waldman’s cohost for the 2023 football season to discuss practices that will make you a better fantasy GM and NFL fan.<br> There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam. He’s a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most.<br> <br> He’s also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats. Unlike Dwain McFarland, whose work delves into the statistical process, Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts.<br> Topics<br> <br> * Is the NFL game beginning to favor smaller RBs and is this even new?<br> * Why the NFL game vacillates between system-dominant and talent-dominant eras.<br> * The fallacy of the label "system quarterback."<br> * Is Lamar Jackson more of a system quarterback than Brock Purdy? Why that's not a knock on either player.<br> * The NIL's potential impact on NFL player development.<br> * The hypocrisy of liking the NFL and hating college football but not caring about the contradiction.<br> <br> And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2024<a href="http://www.mattwaldman.com/"> Rookie Scouting Portfolio</a> for $21.95–currently available for $19.95 via early-bird discount that runs through December 21, 2023.  <br> <br> Matt’s new <a href="https://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2020/12/15/new-product-matt-waldmans-rsp-dynasty-rankings-two-year-projection-package/">RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package</a> is available for $24.95<br> <br> If you’re a fantasy GM interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2023 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge.  <br> <br> Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat the sexual abuse of children.
