Saint Doug

Not only that, he went full on Rogue in doing so.

What blows my mind is that he keeps getting a new job. He must've been with a quarter of NFL teams by now.

I love this presser. It was like "who dares to ask the Dark One a question!". Then he would mumble 3-4 words about not being good enough today.

No worries, you'll never have to start a black quarterback back again.

The coaching has been lights out ever since Roman was fired. Barring a Jauronian meltdown, I think he stays.

I think it's that grin on his face after Fitzpatrick throws a pick-6.

In reality, this is the most accurate. None of us should be surprised by this move.

Obviously this opinion wasn't so obvious to an entire medical and coaching staff. They should've consulted TBD before proceeding with his care. I'm sure the medical staff followed the standard of care for his injury. They cannot be blamed for all injury ills of this team. Considering Watkins is injury prone, and I think you would agree with this, how can the docs be blamed? Furthermore, if Watkins was experiencing limping or pain during camp, then either the offensive coaches or even Sammy himself should've had the sense to sit him done.

Have you reviewed his medical records to arrive at this conclusion?

Well, of course, but I didn't need to write that.

I'm sure I missed it and you are correct, but can you give me a link where the "medical staff" gave an interview about drafting Shaq? I would love to read an interview where healthcare workers publicly give their medical opinions about one of their patients.

I don't have the answers you seek, but in the spirit of the Internet, I have a completely uninformed opinion I will share with you instead. Whaley knew exactly what he was getting with Lawson. Our medical staff informed him of their professional opinion(s). He drafted him anyways.

This guy may work out. Who knows? It's not like MIA or TEN are hotbeds for getting the most out of their WRs.

I think the FO (i.e. Whaley) has the tendency to pick players with borderline injury histories. We've seen this with numerous picks, as well as free agency. We want to point our fingers at the medical staff, but they are not the ones drafting our players. Many of these players come with well documented injuries. At the end of the day, Whaley has final say and he has been selecting them. If we had selected Gronk, who came with a clear injury history, would we be calling for the medical staff to be fired? He's injury prone and this is why the majority of teams avoided him. If Whaley was in charge that daft though, I'm sure we would've taken him. What exactly was our medical staff to do with Henderson? They deal with sports medicine. Were they supposed to guide his Crohn's treatments? I'm glad they were hands-off in this situation. His disease is completely unrelated to football, so their hands were tied. Let him come back when he's ready. They played this one correctly.

Just make sure his bad shoulder hits the ground first, then absorbs 300 lbs of dead weight.

They were never officially marketed as such. Instead, N.W.A.

I'm glad he's mending well. Guess he didn't buy into Brady's witchdoctor.

Good. Now Hughes will know which one to break.

Thread title was on the money though (no pun intended), Gilmore may have had his contract affect his play today.

To be fair, I think that's exactly what he was thinking about when he pushed for Rex to be hired. And it obviously worked.

Surgery or not, I'm sure Brissett could beat us throwing lefty instead.

Anyone know if Coughlin had any experience overseeing an entire organization? I know he's been a coach forever, but does he have any NFL FO experience?

Wasn't there a thread going around last year about how every read-option QB regresses their 2nd year? Is this a surprise to anyone? The cream will eventually rise though, while the majority seem to fail.

The hiring of Rob says it all to me. I mean, come on. Hiring your twin brother Rob, who had left a trail of destroyed defenses? In what universe is this a good idea?

I can buy it. This off season and even now, Rex has been doing all the right things to get fired. What does he care? He gets to pocket $25 million either way. That said, if the OP knows enough that this was said, he should also probably know why it was said.
