The Conspiracy Thread

I dont know if this is productive for this forum but here goes my first one:

What are the odds that Smitty didnt really break his arm? Instead he was told to chill out for a bit.

And while we are on the subject of odds. What are the odds that I will be able to buy Steve Smith underoos in the near future?. . . I would wear them with just a cape. . . . everywhere.

maybe goggles too.

Zero.Zero:

1. Smitty does not play games like that

2. Smitty's agent would not allow him to take the PR hit just to lay about as it could impact future contracts.

3. Richardson/Fox would not do this. I could see them hiding a potential player on IR for the year or nursing a hammy for preasonson but not faking a broken bone that required surgery.

Sadly, I think its #2 that makes the conspiracy most unlikely to me.

you do know they put another plate in right?

I never thought about how shady it is to IR stash people. We do it at least once a year. Pike probably goes out for the year with a papercut.

No, I've had my own broken bone problems the past few months.

Was the break that bad? All I remember was a bunch of "OMG WE'RE SCREWED" reactions.

From what I have been told you can't just put a guy on IR. First of all the medical report has to be sent to the league office and it has to be documented. Sure there is some flexibility so that a guy who breaks his leg can be placed on IR 3 weeks into the season even though he could be back by week 11 for example. If you have a guy who can't contribute due to an injury and you need to replace him, you can put him on IR for example. Still you can't just put a completely healthy guy on IR for no reason. If you get caught doing that I believe you suffer fines and punishment by the league office.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
