Mr. Scot

A lot of us probably would... ...and we'd likely screw it up just as badly as Tepper (or even worse)

Could have used the Jim Mora "You think you know, but you don't know" clip there.

It's called reading. You should try it Teams are pretty much always very loose with information after the draft. And hell, why shouldn't they be? It's done. Smokescreens and all the other bullsh-t don't matter after the picks have been made.

Can't find anything on what time

No you don't.

Eeehhh, no. We don't actually know that at all.

Shortly after that year's draft, Lynch told Albert Breer about how he and Shanahan had made an agreement between them to not make a final choice up to a certain time. When the day came, Shanahan went up to Lynch and said something along the lines of "So are you ready to draft Trey?" Lynch's response was "Are you f--king with me?" because he'd come to the same conclusion. Let's just say I believe Albert Breer both has better contacts and is far less full of bullsh-t than you so yeah, I believe him

I wouldn't bet on us ever getting it but I would love to get a long, thorough look behind the scenes of Rhule's tenure. Gotta believe there's some wild stories to be told

My guess is they'll start discussing it shortly after all the visits are done.

They've already done that with Theilin and Chark.

I would like to believe there's at least a little less chance of that with Matt Rhule gone.

Your kids help you find that gif?

Off topic: So this happened... Oh yeah, the media never gave Aaron a fair shake

Hell, some have already declared their intentions to do so If the team doesn't pick their guy. Whenever I see that...

What's happening with Lance now is one of the reasons why I strongly dislike the idea of taking a guy based on his athleticism rather than his actual quarterback skills.

From Albert Breer... 49ers GM John Lynch revealing that Brock Purdy is positioned to be the team’s starter when he returns to health is hardly surprising, But it isn’t a great commentary on where San Francisco stands on Trey Lance, two years after moving three first-round picks to get the former North Dakota State star. Coming out, Lance was seen as having tremendous intangibles. We’ll see if those show up in how he handles the challenge of making the quarterback decision harder on the Niners. Link

I've seen a lot of speculation from both fans and media that these days, Assistant GM Adam Peters is the real GM rather than Lynch. Some have even suggested that the 49ers might dump Lynch to keep from losing Peters Lynch doesn't really have any background in personnel evaluation. Granted he's got more real world football experience than Marty Hurney did, but still...

I'd like to hope we all knew that though... Even smart teams sometimes make really stupid mistakes.

I really don't think people give that idea enough weight. Football staffs are people too. At some point in our lives, all of us have probably worked with somebody we couldn't stand. That happens to these guys too. Throw in that this staff wasn't put together from a bunch of people who have all worked together before. They're still getting to know each other, learning their personalities, etc. You certainly hope it's smooth sailing, but there are times...

Heh To be fair though, similarity of method doesn't necessarily mean similarity of outcome.

Nah. I said I wouldn't hold my breath when I saw Stroud taking a hit. Young, on the other hand...

I honestly don't know that anybody on the outside has a true idea who the Panthers like best. The discussions that are going on inside the building are way way deeper than anything you'll hear any of us talking about.

You think the hysteria stops after the draft? Wait till the post draft reactions from the people who wanted a guy they didn't pick

Already there You're not the only one I've heard say that.

They had a guy who did it that way not too long ago. They fired him after Week 5 last season.
