Why "NOT" to take Press Conferences seriously this week

[PntherPryd]

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."

I think he's right and I actually like Glennon.

[PntherPryd]

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.

Especially when this is next "report" from combine

Lovie Smith: I'm comfortable making Winston face of Buccaneers

Glennon has a good bit of upside. He played well as a rookie. He can become a starter in the NFL.

Glennon would make for a great franchise neck-ring lady

 

 

 

 

[Ornias]

Translation: For the low low price of a 3rd round pick, he can be your franchise QB as well.

Drew, what're you going to be for the Haloween party?

 

Mike

As long as his neck is, he still looks like he could be a decent starter or very good backup. I like his game.

Looking forward to hearing Gettleman tomorrow. He's always fun to listen to.

I could listen to Gettleman talk all day. Dude is awesome.

[rmoneyg35]

He said he "can" be a franchise QB not that he is or will be one. So basically it's like Lovie Smith saying there is always a chance because anything can happen in the NFL.
