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.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
