Rosinski brings out the tinfoil hat

Gotta assume "Marty" is referring to Marty Hurney.

Oliver Luck has directly denied that Andrew staying in school had anything to do with the Panthers, but even if that's true it doesn't negate the possibility that Archie Manning might have said something to him.

Yep. Timeline is off.

So then the question becomes whether Rosinski actually got this story from Hurney or just made it up.

Looked back a little further.  Turns out there were two pie chart stories.

Richardson's "uncomfortable" press conference occurred on January 4th, 2011.  During that infamous presser, he pulled out a pie chart which was supposed to show that the NFL wasn't making as much money as was claimed.  This occurred three days before Luck's announcement on January 7th.  The incident where Richardson asked Drew Brees and Peyton Manning whether they knew how to read a pie chart occurred a month later on February 5th during an NFL/NFLPA negotiating session.

Now that said, Rosinski's story pretty clearly seems to be referencing the second incident, because why would Brees or Manning have cared about the first? It didn't involve either of them.

Is it possible Rozinski is just confusing the story (or that Hurney was, depending on who the ultimate source actually is)?  Perhaps what Archie Manning actually said was "good thing your kid stayed in school" or something of that sort.

Or perhaps nothing at all.  Who can say?

Regardless, without some clarification/revision, the story doesn't sound especially credible at this point.

    • When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays 
    • 9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
    • So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
