Sounds crazy, but I think Timmy will be alright, his problem wasn't that he wasn't worth a roster spot, its that he refused to switch positions which made him expendable. if he stays at TE (which is where he should been all along), hell be alright.

he hasn't touched a football field in 8 years.   And he has never played TE.  That isn't going to work. 

I fully believe Urban is going to take Trevor off the field and insert The Golden Calf of Bristol short yardage package on offense.    Which is stupid, yet predictable.

Ouch

I think that matters at a certain level of ability the star and superstar players get by on their elite abilities. But the further down the ladder you go in abilities, the pool gets larger and larger. At that point, since the differences are much smaller, things like those connections mean a lot more. 

And, that happens in just about every professional sport. The NBA being a good example. You think the roster fodder guys are that much different than the guys tearing it up overseas or in the D-League?

That's why JAGS are able to stick around specific rosters for a while(ours especially).

Kind of hard to assess his ability when no one has seen him take a snap at TE yet. We can infer all we want but it doesn’t make anything definitive. Persona plays a role for sure but people are making more out of this than it needs to be.

I doubt it. But I fully expect looks with both of them in the backfield.

 

Nothing about it works IMO.   Nothing about it makes any sense. 

Urban remains a horrible hire and it will predictably end horribly.   I firmly believe what Urban will do is get Tim into the endzone.....and then people will act like that is something.

The Golden Calf of Bristol isn't a TE.  The Golden Calf of Bristol isn't a RB.   He isn't even in the ballpark in terms of being an actual RB as the Jags #3 tailback.   The Golden Calf of Bristol only works as a wildcat QB and even that is debatable at this stage.   Urban just can't come out and say that.    So the talk is well, maybe we will have him play something else. 

In a max of 3 years, Urban will have to go take time off from football to see about his health.

Yeah, it is hilarious to see the Jags hire a dude that was known to bolt when things got stressful(or rather the NCAA heat got too much). 

This is the Saban hire all over again. He may well quit during the season.

Saban didn't quit midseason, did he?

I know Bobby Petrino did.

There were other teams (including the Saints) that expressed interest in The Golden Calf of Bristol in a role that wasn't a traditional QB, whether that was as a TE or a Taysom Hill type role. He just wasn't interested until his baseball career busted

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
