NFL Memo: prospect video conferences count toward 30-visit limit

So about those "Skype visits"...

@JasonLaCanfora

"The NFL clarified the video conference rule today in response to team inquiries as to how the technology could be applied.

NFL memo sent to GMs informs teams can have video conferences w/draft prospects outside club's metro area but it counts vs. 30 visit limit.

Any video conference w/ a draftable player must be reported to NFL in advance and counts as a formal visit. Cannot overlap w/his school sked."

It had been previously reported by some members of the media that such visits didn't count toward the 30 allowed because the player wasn't physically traveling to meet with the team.

Seems the teams probably knew this, but the media insistence to the contrary likely led to this clarification. Though if a team did have this misconstrued, they've probably gone over 30 at this late point.

Or they were trying to get away with a little something :lol:

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
