it's weird, it's almost like coaches and teams just sell you a bunch of bologna publicly they want you to believe.  Not that it's all rooted in truth.  So maybe you can't put much stock in their words. 

I got this weird deja vu feeling. 

lol yeah without a doubt to a degree.  There are always some elements of playing to strengths in every roster.  AT moving to the slot vs outside would be an example, moving to a 3-4 for Brown and Burns is another.  Overlooking the skillset of his OL is by far the biggest mistake he has made this offseason.  Lying about who helped design a playbook though would have no advantage whether it be PR or hype about the team.  That's when things overblown by us fans and legit complaints get lumped into nonsense ones.

Sure, it does. 

because they hired Thomas Brown and the initial setup in reality was he wasn't being employed as a real NFL OC.  Frank was the OC for practical purposes. So to make Thomas Brown sound the best possible.....you overstate things he is involved with.   To make him look good and sound good.  It's all PR.  Nothing wrong with it.  Which is why I don't cherry pick that one instance out as nefarious lying.  They have sold much bigger bologna than that sugar coated version to hype Brown's job/role. 

That's what saying Thomas Brown built this playbook from the ground up does...it overstates and overplays what he is and did.   To make him look good. And that is the business.  For everyone.   It's not about lying.  It's just PR to sound good.  Reality is he never built it from the ground up.  He took Frank Reich playbook.  Because the base of the playbook was going to be Frank's....and added to it. But that doesn't sound as good when looking/talking about Thomas Brown.  The newb OC who wasn't even allowed to call plays when he came here. 

So it's a word game.  I just acknowledge it's a 24/7 PR game for essentially all teams.

Yeah see this is where it starts sounding crazy.  All of this for something your average fan doesn't really care about.  Coaches exaggerating how good his players are/his coaching it makes sense and happens all the time.  Hell they SHOULD do this to a degree to give their team confidence.  What you are talking ab out looks like this...

Yeah, not going down that road again 😄

There's actually a lot of good discussion being had here. Not gonna derail it responding to that kind of silliness.

      Another Guard?? Small ball was just a meme right?????   Again can anyone confirm Kon had more than 2 dunks for the season?? I watched more highlights and saw lots of layups. Did see one thunder dunk tho...   Jeff just needs to finish this off-season with a guard package trade for a PF/C. Call Portland, that's a start!

      XL is out here being a hero!

      By Basbear · Posted

      XL treatment is in the top 5 What The Fuccks for the the huddle. It just happens that the 32nd team and 33rd team GMs knew each other very well. Panthers viewed the 5th year option as being worth a late 6th and a trade was made to make XL a 1st rounder.  He had injuries in OTAs, mini camp and TC. Like others had more injuries in season and just kept playing. Half the season was bad BY and dalton. He still had 500 yds, 5 TDs, and like 45 recs.  Just super weird the treatment. BTW people love to focus on the bad plays, but there was only one WR that caught a TD on the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, can you guess who that was?? By many accounts the Pats wanted XL badly and had to select Polk instead, there's strong rumors that Polk is either going to be cut or traded for a 2078 7th rounder. Panthers could have easily been in this situation if not for the Bills allowing the trade up. It pays to have friends.... I feel XL will force some fans to plates of raccoon as he develops. (please stay healthy)
