Mr. Scot

There was something about an issue between him and Adam Peters that nixed that job. I forget the specifics but it might actually be earlier in this thread.

I do think the Jags made sense if he didn't want to do in direct competition with Campbell. The Raiders also if he wanted to basically pick his own GM and run the whole show. Chicago was always an option though. How good of one depends on your opinion of Williams. Not terribly surprised by him choosing Chicago. Kinda surprised by them making the hire without even doing a second interview. Guess they just wanted him that bad.

Being able to pick your own GM?

I would in the sense of doing genuine damage to people being worse than just screwing up a football team. Now, if we're sticking solely to the realm of football mismanagement, Tepper is arguably an elite in that department, inferior to Snyder only in that he hasn't done it for quite as long as Snyder did.

I didn't see enough of the game to judge how Lamar (or Andrews, for that matter) did overall. For the parts I saw, Jackson was good and Andrews was...well Did see that after the game, Jackson was pissed. (and apparently still cold)

Dysfunction? Yes. Corruption? No. Snyder had it all. And for all the (legit) talk about how lousy a job Tepper has done, there hasn't been any sort of scandal that I can recall. Mind you, as soon as I say that...

More from Albert Breer on that front... I think OC Ben Johnson is much more ready to take a job now than he was the past couple of years. I don’t know if losing the way Detroit did might lure him back for one last run with Campbell, but I do know his interest in the Las Vegas Raiders, Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars jobs is real—and Newmark’s emergence as a GM candidate with the Raiders is proof positive of how serious Johnson is (Tom Brady’s been a difference-maker in Vegas’s pursuit). Link: MMQB I said the same thing about the emotion of the loss possibly causing Johnson to go back for one more year, but most of the chatter seems to be saying that's not gonna happen.

There's some speculation that Ben Johnson might want to trade for Hendon Hookernif he picks the Raiders. All speculation of course, but not out of the question.

Snyder is in his own universe.

Side Note: These two are squabbling online over the state of the Cowboys.

Here's a name I don't recall hearing before...

Fowler is legit. If you had asked me prior to yesterday, I'd have said I think he's going back. All indications now though or that he will take one of the available jobs. If it's true that he doesn't want to face Dan Campbell twice a year, then the Jaguars seem like the most logical choice but who knows?

Welp, I'll be cheering for a Bills-Commanders Super Bowl.

Rasul Douglas...Where have I heard that name before?

Oooooooouch

Don't understand that playcall

Whole lotta Panther fans taking notice of that

This from Jeremy Fowler... Have also seen it reported that Johnson has told the Lions he's not coming back. (attributed to Schefter but I've not seen a direct link)

Gotta tap out for a while...catch you guys later.

Man, that's some sh-tty tackling

Mark Wahlberg how you've never seen him before... Bald

Barkley...Damn

Opinions of Hurts often tend to vary depending on how you feel about the "tush push".

Rams looking a tad beat up on both sides...
