The point with scouting information at your fingertips is rather simple. Travel time is cut down dramatically. You are not required to have people available to travel to multiple locations to obtain information at the same time. Which from a business standpoint would equal less personnel. Tape is available at anytime anywhere. A scout can be on one coast while viewing tape from the other coast at the same time.
Tape is available almost immediately following an event so it can be watched and details noted. Determinations and evaluations do not have to be made in a binge watching event as you seem to be eluding to. Scouts and coaches can be watching tape leading to the next draft or on potential free agents 365 days a year. It is called efficient time management.
Who will watch more tape on more players in the same amount of time? Four scouts? Or twenty scouts?
And gimme your grade on Manziel’s tape. Just his tape.
