I think you are reading way too much into this. I would say that SS was NOT lying when he talked about what he wanted in a QB And he DOES want accuracy. The thing with AR15 is he sees something that outweighs that accuracy and believes he can fix that accuracy.
Besides What did you want him to say? He wasn't going to come right out and say he wanted AR15 so another team had a chance to try to get ahead of us?
I think it was brilliant
