Not the most personable guy. Doesnt charm the entire locker room as a charismatic leader (like Josh does). Not willing to help the younger QBs, just there to be the starter and focused on himself. If I remember correctly. I never played on a team with him.

All that matters.

He's a better QB on the field than Barkley, but historically not as good in the locker room and QB room. Assuming if all goes well the backup will get minimal/zero playing time, I'll take Barkley/Fromm. (Just dont run too much, Josh)

Kyle hilarious right from the jump "This is the house I built, thanks for judging me, you're a jerk" ? ?

Ahh, right on. Makes sense now. They did a parody "simulation" and named the Jets the run away winner to get the reactions like we're seeing here. Gotcha, thanks!

How did you guys all manage to only find the fake SportsLLne and not the real https://twitter.com/sportsline ??

The Rooney Rule has worked in the past and has made a difference. There are a few factors that have made it less effective recently, the biggest one being the shift to hiring Offensive coaches while most minority coaches are Defensive specialists. That can change over time though too. Especially with the shift to more black QBs that we've seen over the past couple of decades. There really isnt much more they can do to combat the good ol boy network without putting in unfair restrictions and quotes, and no one wants that. At least with the Rooney Rule and its expansion, they are trying to address the issue and still allow teams to hire in fairness.

https://twitter.com/SportsLine SportsLine is a real site and twitter. The one you quoted is a parody account that has two Ls, @SportsLLne, the second L is lowercase to try to fool people.

Then you've just disqualified Mike Tomlin and Marvin Lewis from even getting an interview. Going in the opposite direction here because you are restricting the pool. Look, there is nothing wrong (and actually plenty good) with simply requiring an expanded interview pool.

Requiring an expanded interview pool is not discriminating against anyone.

Uhhh... The league of private organizations would be implementing the requirement themselves. But good to know you're an anti-vaxxer too.

I've heard Poojer has caught crabs more than once.

Little bit of both for me. ?

Because GNC hasnt kicked our asses and made us look foolish for the last 20 years straight. They should all be called out, early and often, as liars and scammers. Brady, Gwenyth Paltrow, GNC, all the bull#### MLMs out there.... All of it. We all benefit from calling out bull####. If we're going to go with Caveat Emptor, us Emptors need to stick together.

I think you are confused with the proposed (and non-voted on) changes that have gone no where. And I'm not even sure your statement is correct about them. The Rooney Rule, which the new changes apply to, includes all ethnic minorities. Heck, it even includes women now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooney_Rule#Application As of June 15, 2009, Rooney Rule requirements apply to all searches for senior football operations positions within the NFL, regardless of a team's title for that position. It now also includes all ethnic minorities, not just African Americans.

That's one very easy, unethical way of looking at it. You're not wrong, Walter, but...

True. But all this caveating through over-marketed bull#### is getting exhausting.

I had figured it was a decoy extreme to get these others easily passed.

I dont know the argument or charges, but I back this by default.

And can we assume the other proposed changes, regarding draft compensation for hiring minorities, have been shot down?

Just one of the many snake-oil salesmen and profiteers looking to cash in on peoples' fears and pain. It's a well-funded con job with marketing.

Why are we getting no answers from Pooj? Normally you cant shut this guy up!

I think Murphy will be one of those "Beane hacks the Comp Picks" players and end up traded for a 5th before the end of camp. At least I hope so, because that means they are seeing enough from Epenesa and Johnson to feel comfortable making the move.

Are you a fish?

Good call. But that is also when we were trying to move up as high as possible in the draft. I think if Beane saw Allen and Darnold go before our pick, the strategy changes and therefore the prospects change. IIRC, there was a Beane interview where he even said if our top guys were gone, he would have looked into trading down. Maybe that means Rudolph only.
