Better scouting, and more of it, frees up the coaching staff to do more important actual coaching jobs....which may lead to making even Marv and his staff look like geniuses.
Yep. Instead of working on plays and watching film in the offseason...the coaches are scouting. And this isn't to say that other teams coaches don't scout...as they do. It's just that they aren't the primary scouts.
And then we hear about how we get burned signing free agents to all but small deals. Well scouting is important for signing free agents too.
It's also important for gameplanning.
