In September 2017, Mike Lombardi made headlines by criticizing Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson: "He might be less qualified to coach a team than anyone I’ve ever seen in my 30-plus years in the NFL."[28] Pederson would lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl championship later that season.

December 2012...

Two hours after a report that Ron Rivera would remain the Carolina Panthers' head coach in 2013, now another report states the opposite -- that Rivera could be fired as early as today.

Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network is sticking to his report from last week, reiterating this morning that he expects Ron Rivera will be fired as head coach of the Carolina Panthers today. Reports out of Charlotte indicate Rivera has not talked about his future with players during their exit interviews, which are being conducted this morning.

Conventional wisdom among analysts is that Carolina will take their time, and find their new GM prior to deciding on Ron Rivera's future -- but if Lombardi's sources are right, this is going to be a crazy day.

I mean we gave up a metric ton for the pick.

If we get it wrong we've set the franchise back 3 years.

No it doesn't lol It sets us back 0 years because we'll have all of our assets 3 years from now, which is when we will know if the QB we drafted is the real deal or not.

Texans are going to take one of Stroud or Young. I feel pretty comfortable in that. So they will be taking Stroud 😉 

Are you aware that Watsons agent is same for stroud?

That was as messy as NFL gets....you know theres still some hurt feelings...

I'm sure he represents other players currently playing for the Texans. These guys are pros and a huge part of their job is keeping a good working relationship with all the teams. Just because a situation becomes untenable for a player and a team doesn't mean that agent's relationship does the same. Quite the contrary.

I didnt see one and it was a bad blood deal. He could have already told them, "its not in your best interest to draft QB stroud."

Unless telling them not to draft Stroud is coming from Stroud himself, then the agent is doing his client a massive disservice. An agent's job is to represent his client and letting personal pissing matches get in the way of that would make him a bad agent.

There was months, no over one year of back and forth between texans and david. Again as far unhappy player goes, this was of the extreme type. Team was pissed out too. He also sat out for a full year while getting 15million to do so. In the old days there were for sure agents that blacklisted teams and same went for teams. This was that level of "fug off, I will never do business with you again" type feelings. Texans were rumored to release alll the tiny towel massages, Im sure that didnt go over well with david.....

I forgot the player and agent, plus this was MLB. But the braves had a agreement done&faxed, after spending lots of time hammering out the details. The agent took the fax and sent it to SD and signed there soon after. In the following days the numbers came out and the braves GM saw they were the same as his agreed offer. He publicity stated that the braves would never sign any client repped by that agency for as long as he was GM. 

Herniay and dave for sure had issues with certain agent/agent firms. I dont believe finessererre has that problem, but hes still green as GM. People are still britter and hold stoopid things against each other....

    • Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.   
    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
