Would the jeans day story have seen the light of day if Richardson didn't also call call Khary Darrington a (racial slur)?

So you think that was what led to the SI hit piece?  I’ve always thought it was the Jordan Rodrique /Cam fiasco just because of the timing.  Maybe not tho?

I think that contributed.

But if you want my honest opinion on the biggest factor, I'd point out that although he wasn't officially listed as part of the writing team, it's awfully curious that the story was broken by Sports illustrated just a few weeks after Jonathan Jones started working for them.

He might not have had the freedom to talk about that sort of thing while working for the Observer, but Sports illustrated has no problem publishing stories like this (as I'm sure Deshaun Watson would testify).

No question about it.  He absolutely brought the info to SI.  And they put other writers on it to insulate him and some of our local beat writers.   
 

Only question is what motivated him at that time to do it?

Having followed this franchise from the start, I have to agree. It’s a combination of a lot of things.

1. Obviously being the worst team in the league.

2. No first round pick to fall back on.

3. No young difference-makers who could become superstars.

4. Bryce regressing.

5. Firing a coach in-season for the second straight year.

6. The same guy who fired the bad coaches was the one who’ll be hiring the next one.

7. A roster in shambles because it’s so poorly constructed.

There’s honestly not a single “light at the end of the tunnel” thing you can point to right now.

Thats the killer for me as well, theres no hope on the team nor draft capital. 

Every single offensive group needs starters and depth- OL, WR, RB, TE and if you force yourself QB as well.

On the defense side the best players are FAs or needing contract/5th year options- Luvu, Burns, and Brown. *when he plays which....horn too(hes another issue with the injury virus....). 

Theres no young talent under rookie contract control. Right now young has 2024 and then you have to make the choice of cutting/trade/____ or its again drafting a young rookie for the 2025 season. 

Its like the team is a first year expansion team. Just a HUUUUGGGEE mess that no one can fix in 3 years.....watch tepper fire two more HCs during the 2024-27 years of pain.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      While I really hope things pan out for the young man, sometimes you've got to make a calculated guess on your returns. I wanted so bad to see us use our first round pick on a LB, C or TE this season, but I think this one injury changes everything. I might suggest taking the best and the second best OTs available in the draft with our first and second round picks. The injury to Icky really makes the first one a good choice and an affordable one. And Moton, who is long in the tooth, needs someone in the wings behind him.  This also means that BC is going to need to get a contract for this upcoming season both as a starter at LT and to train the younger player behind him. Also it means that we need to extend a solid contract to Cade Mays and lock him down as our Center for the next four years. Maybe Icky can recover fully and be a starting LT again, but the odds aren't in his favor. Maybe he could be back in line to play as a guard right as our current starters' contracts wind down. It's not pretty having to spend all your picks and money on the line, but it seems to be the wise investment in light of everything.

      Unfortunate situation.  if one of the top LTs fall in the draft I think it’s a no brainer draft pick. Then if icky returns he can move to guard and replace one of our highly paid guards that are here now.

      I dont really expect anyone to have any character or values when the system doesn't. I would respect those who did though. College Football is losing what little interest I had in it. I wasn't against giving the athletes some control but whatever this system is will kill it over time.
