Mr. Scot

One of the great unsolved mysteries of the world is how the hell Jon Gruden got a rep for being a quarterback guru.

He ain't his brother. I'd be okay with looking into it.

Not sure if anyone here follows Torrey Smith, but if you're a Stafford critic you might not want to see what he had to say on this. He was a tad...blunt.

We know we offered #8 plus another pick, probably 4th or 5th round based on what I've read. May have offered Bridgewater too. We also know that our draft pick was the highest one offered.

It almost happened... So who finished second in the Matthew Stafford derby? I’m told the Panthers, at one point on Saturday, were to the point where they were in the process of obtaining Stafford’s medicals from Detroit. Obviously, things changed from there, with the Rams’ persistence and aggression winning the day. But if you figured the Panthers’ haul for Stafford was strong—the eighth pick, plus another pick—then I’d say the sellers in this equation would agree with you, because they almost took it. Link

Our buddy Ellis, quoting Albert Breer... Stafford was thisclose to being a Panther. So yeah, Simms story is bullsh-t.

I'm not even sure it's a power split so much as it's just that they have different roles. Officially speaking at least, Rhule has final say on the roster.

I'll absolutely watch the Super Bowl itself. I'm just not sure I'll watch any of the coverage leading up to it.

Well, Breer speculates they might, but nobody expects it to be anytime soon. When he was asked in a recent mailbag column where Watson will be playing next year, he said this... In the column linked above, he added... John McClain actually thinks they should talk trade, but acknowledges they're adamant that they're not gonna trade him.

In the tweet itself and a little after 1:25 into the video... Also here: MMQB - 2/2/21 John McClain and Aaron Wilson have both acknowledged it as well.

I'd take that. Extend Moton and you've got bookend tackles for years to come.

Honestly, it looks like just running that far takes effort for this poor guy.

I can't tell from this whether you need to see a urologist or a mechanic

I said they're not responding to offers or returning calls, and they're not. One reporter (Breer maybe) got that directly from a front office guy with another team who'd made such a call.

"Not listening" as in "they don't care".

Nobody's saying they're not aware of what's being offered. Just that they're not interested.

Ouch!

So you're saying he doesn't want to be traded to the Falcons...

Comment from the former Jets GM...

Multiple sources have confirmed they're not listening to trade offers. You can say everybody's lying if you want to but not everything that's said by an NFL team is a lie.

Not many people can do that as well as Marty

Not like this was a realistic option to begin with, but...

He's had time to talk to Matt Rhule about Teddy. I'd guess that's all it took.

Actually, they're not. Multiple sources have reported that while teams are calling them to discuss offers, the Texans aren't listening and they're not returning anyone's calls. All indications are they're pretty staunchly dug in on this.
