This is my last reply because I hate this thread....if the rumor is true, I hate it, and if its false I hate the rumor.  OTA's are optional, that's what the O stands for.  There are many deserving vets who need a break from football unlike us un-athletic keyboard jockeys.  I am not going to read into this situation anymore and until evidence otherwise, I'm going to assume there's nothing there.

The story is that the GM was looking to trade him, not that Anderson was looking to be traded.

And heck, we're not even sure that story is true.

Yes.  That is the story.  Which doesn’t make tons of sense on face value right now.   I questioned it being true. 

But if true… you ask why.   So I threw out some guesses about what a why could be if true.

and if true, we wouldn’t know the dynamics behind it if all we have is statement alone that he was looking to deal Robbie.   So you can’t make a blanket statement of fact that Robbie had no part in it.   He could.  We wouldn’t know at that point anything….outside of the fact their is an undisclosed reason the GM seeks to part with Robbie.

The O actually stands for organized, not optional. Not trying to be a d-bag about it, just making a clarification.

Yeah...that's a huge reach that you're using to try to fit a narrative.

heck, if true?  Robbie is already going into this season on the last year of his contract.  He was a 1000+ WR last year.   He overproduced given expectations last year.  The best numbers of his career and the only year without Sam Darnold.  There could be beef over that with the new GM and Robbie's camp.    

I mean, it would make sense from a business perspective if you are Robbie to not like that position.  So basically his next contract (here or elsewhere).....will largely be influenced by how he looks with Sam Darnold this season.    Sam essentially sets up Robbie's next deal/future.  Robbie could be wanting an extension before the season starts and not liking that position. 

that would probably be my second guess after just selling high.

That's actually very reasonable, the guy join because of Rhule.

He could want to leave because of Sam.

Throw out the chemistry crap, Sam is a QB and Robbie a WR, not hard to play catch. Hell Robbie made Sam look decent to be honest.

Now Robby puts up his best numbers with Teddy, and tell him Watson being looked at, or maybe Stafford. Then it's Fields, Lance, Jones, a little talk if Wilson. But they traded for Sam, he was very quiet about that trade because the draft still hasn't happened. But then they pass on Fields, so it's known Sam the guy. Yeah, the only person in the building who knows Sam best is ready to pack his bags...smh...but we'll see.

 

I like how if he does dislike Sam in anyway he's being very mature for a athlete.

Robby gets traded then pulls a Teddy and says he didn't like the Sam trade, rather stuck with Teddy the huddle going have a meltdown...lmao

After he left the jets he took a swing at them and Sam...

If he wants to leave because of Sam, especially after all that talk about wanting to play for Coach Rhule, that would be pretty damn two-faced of him, don't you think?

it isn't a huge reach that just MAYBE a WR who thrived without Sam Darnold....might not be thrilled behind the scenes that his next contract/future is about to be tied to Sam Darnold.   Again, this is Robbie's last year of his contract.  Sam from the Jets is back in play to set Robbie's future after his breakout season. 

The only narrative, is trying to figure out a reason why the GM would do such a thing.   And it's not a huge reach if that is the premise we are discussing.  It would be a huge reach if I just randomly suggested it without that premise IMO. 

Again, I advocated to sign Sam Darnold right when the Watson thing blew up.  I was comfortable with it before many.  It was the right call at that time.   And I am not a Sam hater.   I just don't hype up that move as more than a Teddy replacement.

Speaking of which, Isn't Robby 28 years old?

Some other here say he's 30 when he really isn't.

It might not be because he dislikes Sam specifically but the scenario he finds himself in. 

It could just be he is in the last year of his contract coming off a breakout season.  It's a business.  It's not an ideal spot to go into this season like that.   Players want some security when they think they deserve it.  

Imagine if Robbie broke his leg week 2?  It's a perfectly reasonable stance that Robbie's team could of already been in serious talks with the new GM about Robbie's situation.  In fact, I would think that is likely a certainty.

Eh, I see a lot of speculation and not much else.

While it is highly doubtful we are "shopping" him, all sorts of names and ideas come up on draft day and a few days before.  If his name was trotted out, it was not necessarily shopping him as much as seeing if somebody would pay a king's ransom for him or anybody else.  That's the business.

But all the speculation over something that originated on Walter Football?  Next time I cross paths with the wino who hangs around near the center of town I'll ask him if he can confirm any of this.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
