bluenews Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 How soon before Adam Schefter has breaking news and announces the Bills starting QB? How does this info stay at OBD?
Chilly Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Maybe they'll leak a different starter to different outlets so all three are starting depending on who is reporting
The Wiz Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Maybe they'll leak a different starter to different outlets so all three are starting depending on who is reporting Who would do such a thing???
YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Hahaha I can see OBD being tight lipped. I do not think they will leak a different name just to throw everyone off. I do think the starting QB's agent could be the one to give the news to a reporter like Schefter. They will want it out there. Unless the player instructs them not to do so, which they should.
The Dean Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 How soon before Adam Schefter has breaking news and announces the Bills starting QB? How does this info stay at OBD? Decision day is today, or tomorrow, maybe. And I'm one who can't understand how this information gets out to the public. It suggests a mole on the inside. If I was the guy in charge, I'd be very suspicious if inside information got to the press, and I'd do my best to scheme a way to find out who was the leak. Hahaha I can see OBD being tight lipped.

The decision was to be made today and the QB's were going to be informed so right there you have a chink in the armor.
The Dean Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 The decision was to be made today and the QB's were going to be informed so right there you have a chink in the armor. Indeed, if it comes from the agent. But again, I'd be very hard on an agent that let that out, if I was the player.
YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Indeed, if it comes from the agent. But again, I'd be very hard on an agent that let that out, if I was the player. exactly. The player (and agent) is going to be very excited and want to tell the world, but the team comes first and any edge that could possibly be gained by not announcing it should be used. There is zero advantage for the Bills if the Colts find out. And I imagine that Rex and Whaley sat down with the player and discussed this.
negativo Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I just hope Rex doesn't split reps 3 ways in an effort to throw off the Colts. It's fine to play coy, but you shouldn't take it so far that you sabotage your own preparation for the game itself.

Doc Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Indeed, if it comes from the agent. But again, I'd be very hard on an agent that let that out, if I was the player. The player might (inadvertently or advertently) tell a wife, girlfriend, friend, relative, etc.
billsfan_34 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Yesterday on the NFL network they all predicted Cassel. I will puke if that happens he has not beat out TT or EJ and cassel dinks and dunks.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I could also see Rex telling all three they're the starter, and instructing them not to tell anyone, not even their agents, just to see how trustworthy they can be.
