Why "NOT" to take Press Conferences seriously this week

There will be more manure spread this week than ever before seen in the NFL.  With teams looking for misdirection, subterfuge or just interviewing idiots you just cannot take anything seriously anymore in the NFL media.

 

I thought it would be interesting to find examples of such, and it wasn't hard to find.  

 

Not sure if anyone can top this but......

Lovie Smith says Mike Glennon can be franchise QB

 

The Bucs head coach spent part of Wednesday touting Mike Glennon as his franchise quarterback, an absurd notion considering that Smith only started Glennon in six games, and played the now-releasedJosh McCown down the stretch.

 

"Yeah, I think you can definitely say that Mike can be the quarterback that can play at a high level in this league," Smith said when asked if Glennon can be a franchise quarterback. "And I mean, we only have one quarterback on our roster. If you look at the comments I've made about him, yes, I think he can be that guy."

Added general manager Jason Licht: "We want him to be part of the future; we like him a lot."

You may think he's right, I definitely do not.  

 

Serviceable for a few games?  Sure.  Franchise QB?  As in build the rest of your team around?  No.

 

And it is hilarious that either Smith or the GM can make that statement with a straight face, considering they are the one's who went out and grabbed McCown last offseason and yanked Glennon after six games.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
