Mr. Scot

Word was that Tepper and some others in the building liked Fields, but Fitterer and Rhule didn't like him as much as Darnold. Rhule talking about how low the hit rate for first round QBs is would seem to confirm that story.

It doesn't prove that at all. It's extremely tough for women to get justice in situations like this. Sometimes things like this are the only path. Heck, look at what happened with Jerry Richardson. That's a prime example. And trust me, if you ever talk to a victim, you'll know it's not so black and white as you're thinking.

Seriously doubt it. Even if he settles what he has now, you're always gonna be wondering whether something else might come to light. Plus I'm pretty sure we still have people working for the team who were hot on by Jerry Richardson. You bring in a guy accused of similar issues and make him the face of the franchise, what does that say to them?

Hi, KB.

Yeah...Good luck with that

Very good post. Kudos.

They did exist, but they're in the past. What he does here, now, in our system isn't guaranteed to look like those years. And like it or not, he's the guy now. The team didn't pick who you wanted, and all the pissing and moaning in the world won't change that. You can either cheer for us to win with him or hope we lose just so you can say you were right. I suspect you'll choose option two, which is your right but makes you a sh-tty fan.

Apparently getting started... I won't be able to follow till later.

Kinda doubt that, especially given that since a lot of those interviews are being conducted via Zoom. No "tab" involved in a virtual interview.

Some would argue that declaring it stupid before we see how it works out is actually kind of...stupid.

On field Jake and off field Jake were two very different people.

"Keep pounding" is definitely number one. I'd say "He's got a narrow ass" should be on the list.

Our buddy Ellis discovered a disclaimer... A draft analysis that's "independent of future results"... Yeah, sure

This is quite possibly your dumbest take yet.

Set your screen for wide resolution.

You can have your own opinion. You've just chosen one that happens to be stupid. Rhule did a pretty good job last year. His grade for now is still an incomplete, but I'm encouraged.

I wouldn't want to judge somebody too much this early in the game, but man that pass was bad.

It's possible I may need therapy for my football addiction.

Rhule presser...

Heck, all I typically took was a pen and a notepad. Somebody at training camp once asked me if I was spying for another team (the Saints, I think). I was wearing my Panthers jersey at the time.

Gratitude to Belichick for that policy... (thanks a lot, a--hole) Kinda wonder how Rhule and Fitterer feel about it. Doubt anybody brings it up to them, though.

I think it was actually Rivera who had the tarps and stuff put up, but I had a chance to ask him about it going into one practice and he said that decision was made above him. Maybe he was telling the truth, but I kind of suspected otherwise.

Good stuff. Especially liked the analyses of Tremble and Nixon.
