FYI Team leadership has said this pretty consistently for a while now.

Probably not, though looking at the teams we'll be facing while he's out, the timing isn't great.

Just saw (ugh) Out for at least four weeks. They elevated Juston Burris from the practice squad to take his spot.

Probably worth remembering that Quinn still had at least two or three prospects last year when he suddenly pulled out altogether and announced that he was staying with the Cowboys. Never really saw what that was about.

Quick word to Shane Steichen fans (I know @TheCasillas is one) A potential glitch in getting him to Carolina could arise if the Chargers dump Brandon Staley. There's chatter that Staley might be on the hot seat this season. Steichen (who is originally from and grew up in California) spent about ten years with that organization. He'd likely be a pretty popular choice to replace Staley if he's let go. Already being well known by team leadership certainly wouldn't hurt. Whether or not Staley gets fired is up in the air of course (the Spanos family can be kind of unpredictable). Even if it's not this year though, if the Chargers job is the one he really wants, he could have a chance to get it before too long.

He did, but lost it in spectacular fashion. Honestly, I'm not sure he ever recovered from that.

At the moment, I'd say probably the O-Line. That bodes well for the future too.

The Burnt Rumps sounds like a bad pink band

I'll always wonder what could have been...

Not a fan...

It would make you think there's something deeper, but no way to know what.

One thing I still don't get regarding the thread title... He said "a Tepper" wants a change. Is that David, Nicole or someone else we don't know? Maybe it's Robert Tepper. His lyrics would certainly apply to our current situation.

There's a pretty obvious candidate to give him that advice, and I don't know why he wouldn't contact him outside of an egotistical desire to prove to everyone that he can do this without anybody's help.

Phrase that sticks out to me: "That job, working for that owner, is a tough sell right now." Sounds like Tepper is developing a reputation. I'd add that "playing chicken" with Rhule is an ego-driven, dumbass move.

I've heard stuff like this from a couple of different sources. Mark would have been a disaster of epic proportions

Ultimately, but I do think he floated a "trial balloon" of sorts first. Remember, Richardson initially said that the team would conduct an "internal investigation" into the allegations. I've long thought that he did this because he believed the boys club would have his back. They didn't. When he saw that they weren't going to let him just paper over what had happened, that's when he made the choice to sell and avoid the proverbial sh-tstorm. Even then though, Gantt reported he was bitter about the whole thing right up till the end.

Mark was known to be an absolute prick. Jon would have been better but his passing obviously made that impossible.

Faith in the wrong people is counterproductive.

Ugh

I'm surprised I hadn't seen that before

Less than 17...

Saw this from Ellis too, regarding the batted passes... It's not strictly a height issue.

The behind the scenes stuff we saw before showed him using some pretty raw language in private. He generally kept it clean in public though. Guess that's changed.

You realize those rankings 1) are subjective and 2) represent opinions of the franchise as a whole, including coaching. The other stuff isn't fact. It's just your opinion.
