As stated previously in regard to collegiate scouting...scouts and coaching staffs have full game tape of player literally at their fingertips now. You are trying to equate the size of the front office, scouting department, and or just people with titles pertaining to personnel to the quality of a product and anyone who knows the basics of business realizes they do not necessarily walk hand in hand. In many cases the less obstacles to deal with the higher the quality of the product.

I'm not sure what the availibility of game tape and how much easier it is to obtain has to do with anything.  Like at all.  Can you elaborate a bit?

You still need to people to watch the tape.  You still need people to break down each and every prospect (both college and pro) and come to a determination on who to select, or who to target.

Teams have continually expanded their scouting and analytics since the dawn of the internet.  Front offices are larger than they have ever been.  Why is that?

I honestly have no idea what it is you're trying to say.

PS I'm not trying to equate the size of a front office to league wide success.  I'm trying to equate to the league's smallest front office with a dumpster fire.  If you weren't the world's biggest homer you'd understand and agree with this.
