Bears’ Obscure ‘Analytics’ Graph Is Getting Absolutely Roasted by NFL Fans

The Chicago organization loves analytics, as far as it knows.

The Bears have become an offseason internet meme. 

As most of these types of things go, it was entirely unintentional. Here’s how it happened.

The Chicago social media team put out a video describing the team’s process of trading the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft. The video included a brief discussion regarding the team’s analytics evaluations that took place, which seemed to include a “catch-all” analytics cylinder that showed just about everything involved in player evaluation being filtered into “analytics.”

Here’s the video in question, showing team general manager Ryan Poles describing the “analytics” process, which includes the diagram that has set the internet ablaze. The image pops up around the four-minute mark.

And of course, here are some of the best reactions to Chicago’s analytics evaluations…or lack thereof.
