Mr. Scot

And lost to Steve Wilks with half a coaching staff

Correct.

People get laughed at because they get things embarrassingly wrong. This person hasn't been wrong at all, and they've provided plenty of good info that wasn't found anywhere else. For the record, so did The Crown and the Claw.

This is apparently too much to ask.

Oy Here's hoping they get that not everyone here acts like this.

Breer confirms...

You mean deciding to play for somebody else doesn't automatically mean a free agent sucks?

Correct, and reasonable, which unfortunately seems to not be the norm on here. Gee, I wonder why Insiders run off

It is when they weren't. That's not what they meant.

Three or four different sources have said that, Person being one of them.

Yeah, don't get unpinning this. Unpinning the Combine discussion threads makes sense but this one's still relevant.

I'd agree that was cringeworthy. You just have to hope that's a little bit of youthful unwiseness.

People who lie about having inside information don't tend to be able to predict things correctly. This one has yet to be wrong about anything. The first one who came along was wrong about one thing but they admitted that was their own speculation and it was understandable. Most of us were smart enough not to be asses about it, but you do you...

The Jets were also highly interested but didn't make a trade offer. The reason they didn't is because they knew the Raiders would have to release him to avoid guaranteeing his contract. Again, is that too rational?

Yeah, I wouldn't have wanted to do that much.

Well generally speaking, I'd say questioning the validity of someone's statements based not on their accuracy but on whether they agree with your opinion is a sign someone isn't terribly bright. But hey, that's just me

And play again for the same coach he initially played for in Las Vegas. (or Is that too rational to consider?)

You get that Derek Carr gets to choose where he wants to sign, right? And here we go with the a--hole treatment again

You think every free agent we lose out on is because we weren't interested? (I mean, it'd be nice if that were true) Yeah, that's not how it works.

They weren't wrong. In fact, they've pretty much yet to get anything wrong. And they've said way more than what's been publicly reported. Hence again why I'm hoping guys here aren't going to be a--holes and run them off, but unfortunately that seems like destiny here

Not really. Newton said we weren't interested. Multiple other sources confirm we were. We just didn't land him. Not landing him isn't the same as not being interested. I'd add that Newton is somebody I always take with a grain of salt unless someone else confirms what he's saying.

Yeah, that doesn't even make any sense. I get why you want people to think you're right, but you're not. And I'm afraid you're supposed acknowledge of human nature doesn't, and never will, trump reports from actual sources. However, since it also sounds like you're on the verge of going off on another emotionally unhinged rant, I'll just leave it here.

Mike Kaye, Joe Person and others confirmed that our interest was real. The only reporter I've seen say that we weren't that interested was David Newton. (not sure that's who I'd want to stake my reputation to)

Not sure who you're referring to, but @Leaky_Faucet hasn't been wrong about anything yet. They said we'd be calling Carr today to talk money. That was the plan. Fitterer himself said so at his combine presser. We never got the chance though because the Saints sealed the deal last night and early this morning. Our other recent insider went by The Crown and the Claw, I think. They predicted that Jeff Nixon was going to be the tight end coach. Turned out to be wrong, but they said afterwards that things changed. It happens. To my knowledge, they never said anything about Carr either way. On a related note, it's kind of nice to have some insiders around here again so I'm sure many of us would appreciate if guys wouldn't be a--holes and run them off like has happened several times before. (unfortunately, this thread makes me think that might be too much to ask)
