He says he has a source. 

Yeah, he obviously has. And it obviously have to be someone fairly close to the decision making process in order to be true. Which is why I don't get why the source would tell him and not the media. Maybe his sister is friends with one of the Irsay daughters or whatever. Interesting...

I'm guessing the nature of the negotiations is likely pretty fragile, to the point that a media leak could make the whole thing fall through. Since Wells isn't technically in the media, and he's in Canada, maybe they know no large publication is going to run with the story if he's the guy tweeting about it?

Buuuuuttttt...if it's so fragile that a leak could make it all fail...then why tell anyone at all?

I've never understood leaks.  Someone always has to have an agenda when they leak info, otherwise why do it?

I'm not falling for this damn it. I'll believe something when it actually happens. I can't get my hopes up just to see dumb and dumber back next season. lmao

I feel like we're hyping this all for nothing. As a desperation move... Kinda like CNN did with the 4Chan fake report... 

 

We're just reaching for anything that could give us solace that next year won't be another year of disappointment. (Which it probably will.)

Exactly. This information doesn't help anybody and a leak would only be put forward by someone that would like the deal to fail. But I still don't trust it.

I'm guessing that they're not supposed to be leaking it to anyone. I think that's why all these sources are usually unnamed, if it got out that they were leaking inside info, they'd get fired real quick.

So if a leak can cause the whole thing to crumble and we just return next season with this group, it's not like the execs that just got their vacations short have nothing to worry about.

So I guess that report that Irsay told Pagano that he is safe was bogus. It sure seems that way at least. 

That's what I am confused about. Everything reports to Irsay still deciding on who is coming back except the report or two that said he was coming back. NFL.com reported it. So either the report about Pagano's job as safe was a lie, Gruden spending 10 hours with Irsay is a lie, or Irsay was drunk and changed his mind lol.

In today's world, no one would dare pull a racist act like not interviewing a minority doing to race. Also, there's nothing but downside to not interviewing or hiring them anyway. If you refuse to interview them, it will get out and become a public media nightmare. If you refuse to hire a minority coach and they turn out to be really good somewhere else, you are only hurting the team as a GM. Every GM and owner knows there's no upside to doing this anymore and wouldn't dare do it in this day and age, whether they are racist or not.

 

I think if you look around, even with the Rooney rule,  a few coaches were hired, that were big names, slam dunk hires and no one else was interviewed.    The teams basically said "we knew who we wanted and didn't want to waste anyone else's time."      I don't know if they were fined,  but there was no real push back.

 

I think the NFL still views the rule as relevant.     In fact,  I think they're now talking about expanding it to coordinator.       Head Coaches typically come from coordinators,  so if you're an assistant, you need to become a coordinator.      Can't become one if you're not interviewing.     So, the NFL is considering having teams interview minority candidates for those positions as well.

Jim Osborne, JMV, & Wells all seem to have the same source from what I gather. Make of that what you will, but the stuff that the 3 of them are saying right now in regards to this story is pretty much identical.

So what you're saying is the same person is trolling all 3?

      Speaking of Baker:   I've been skeptical that Bryce Young can overcome the marks against him, so I'm not exactly waiting for him to turn it on. But I was skeptical about Baker as well, for different reasons. He never looked as ineffective and incapable as Bryce has looked so far, but he's a good example of a player who a) was in a bad situation, and b) still had to get better at QBing.

      Who leads the NFL in tackles?

      By throwing BBZ · Posted

      Well, I thought the Olubi kid showed some solid play making ability with good tackling so i'm surprised they pushed rookie Carlies, who missed a fair amount of time, ahead of him so quickly. So one could say the position has been addressed by drafting a LB each of the last 2 seasons with guys our people like.  Carlies did play 46 snaps Sunday. Like our other Gus led LB's he didn't seem to be where he needed to be when needed. But what the hey, that becomes much more likely when you have 2-3 seasons under your belt, With a d-line playing well in front of you.     It wouldn't surprise me at all if Williams throws for 250+ with 3 touchdowns. The little devil on my shoulder tells me it would be a good thing, just another nail in Gus's coffin. And of course that is a sad place to be. lol

      If the past two seasons have shown anything, it's that you can never fully write off a QB based off of limited information. The NFL journey can be a long one.    Geno Smith, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold... All written off as failures just a few years ago.    @Superman and I have spoken for years on how the surrounding organization plays as much of a role in the success of a QB as traits and abilities.

      Flutie had a great career.  He was awesome in the CFL.  Maybe that's what Young should do for a year or two.

      I was so excited, now I can hardly watch pro football.  I'm just happy my Buckeyes are playing well (but we're on to Oregon soon).   If the story line on Monday is that Caleb Williams had his coming out game, I may not be able to watch another game.
