But how do you know his front office role is strictly limited to salary cap stuff though? A lot of people do things beyond their initial job description in a work place. Plus I mean the dude was a player and wants a job as a GM one day, it’s not crazy that he’s involved in scouting lol

It's pretty well documented that they view him as future GM material.

now ask yourself why arent short guys allowed to play qb?

the same reasons people don't think Victor Wembanyama shouldn't shoot threes.  because they're made stupid by history that means nothing for someone breaking the mold's success or lack thereof. the inherent sarcasm of your question is ironic because if the answer is what you think it is, then Drew Brees doesn't exist and therefore isn't 2nd in literally every QB stat ever. so yes. the answer to 'why don't coaches at other levels allow possible Brees to play QB' is because conservative stubborn coaches at every level have zero interest in taking a risk to break the mold. we've had enough conservative defensive coaches that have to be dragged kicking and screaming into a 250lb top 20 rusher of all time get one yard on 4th and 1--it doesn't feel like our fanbase should be that averse to taking a risk for a change to shatter that mold

Scouts, GMs, coaches want dudes to be gifted with Cam size because they thing everything but size is teachable/coachable/fixable.  Not that I'm arguing that, it can be true and work out.  But dudes like Curry and Young have spent their entire lives overcoming their perceived shortcomings/the reason every QB / PG doesn't look like them. Dudes who have grown up gifted the entire time with athleticism have had less reasons to work and to adapt to a game that they could dominate solely on gifts.  It still takes the mentality of a Cam/Manning to buck even athletic gifts. Still. Smaller guys who have been adapting their entire lives-- it's strange for everyone to be running around screaming 'TRUST ME THEY'RE GOING TO STOP ADAPTING RIGHT NOW.'

I mean look where Curry was drafted and what people said about him.  For him to essentially admit that same bias up front about BY seems like---shouldn't we be smarter about saying Curry was too small to hold up, to defend, to get his shot off, to have prolonged success?  People who king size also ignore that at every level, Curry and Young were smaller than everyone, and they succeeded--so asking will they succeed against taller/bigger dudes is a question that has already been answered by them bucking the trend to literally get to this point, and it should be something that works in their favor perception wise but it doesn't because we just want to cling to old ideas.

People born with certain athletic size/traits etc don't have to adapt...their mold is fit towards the position and so they can play it.  When you mix that with someone like P Manning caring as much about the mental side of it--you get a double whammy.  But you have undersized guys like Luke, RW, Brees, even Brady in the sense that he's certainly no AR/Cam--they have to create a separator from the pack of all dudes who have those gifts to separate/elevate themselves...and they don't get to this point without doing it the entire way. 

People ignoring that Bryce has been avoiding big hits/doesn't have injury troubles to this point just to argue that he's at a greater risk--it just seems strange.  We go off on injury history when it does exist but we don't laud that this dude who looks like he's one hit away from getting killed---literally has never been/hasn't missed much time at all? That literally doesn't make sense.

      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.
