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.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
