This from Jeremy Fowler...

Have also seen it reported that Johnson has told the Lions he's not coming back.

Chance to cement your legacy as a GM by building a team around a great young qb, or go to a team that doesn't appear to have much of a shot of getting a qb this year.  I know what my choice would be.

This seems very manufactured, IMO. 

I wonder if I can bet on Johnson not going to LV in a sports book?

I think you are right, but I have seen crazier stuff in the NFL.  

The thing is that there don't appear to be any real insiders for Johnson saying this stuff. All this info is coming from Raiders sources, which says a LOT IMO.

He's the assistant GM there though, he won't ever have any kind of legacy there.

GM jobs are much tougher to get in the NFL than HC's, as it's rare for a GM to be fired but not the HC, while a lot of GM's end up being given multiple chances at hiring HC's.

If you have a chance at a GM job, you go for it.

Nonsense. We change our GM every 2-3 years.

and we've changed our HC every 1-2 years during that time frame too lol.

Bottom line is GM jobs open up less than HC jobs and there are far more potential candidates for a GM job too.  If a team is looking at you for theirs, you don't pass it up, you go for the job.

It makes no sense for Johnson to have left the Redskins at the altar only to work for Mark Davis.

Mark Davis has my vote for owner with best/worst haircut in the NFL. He has him something like a 19 year old girlfriend (which I approve!) and the Julius Caesar Russel Crowe from Gladiator late 90's/early 2000's haircut. He inherited a million dollar franchise from dad and sports that haircut on a daily basis while walking around with his little dime piece. Johnson may be inclined to learn the arts of seduction and stylish haircuts a quarter of a century too late from the master himself.

We know Johnson is picky and has avoided scenarios with bad ownership(including ours). That's why the Las Vegas rumors see to lack any real credibility. Not to mention its just an okay roster but with absolutely zero QB nor any real obvious chance to get one aside from straight tanking in 2025.

Fowler is legit.

If you had asked me prior to yesterday, I'd have said I think he's going back. All indications now though or that he will take one of the available jobs. 

If it's true that he doesn't want to face Dan Campbell twice a year, then the Jaguars seem like the most logical choice but who knows?

      Please DM, do not see Dalton failing as BY doing well enough for a big contract

      By Peon Awesome · Posted

      Sure if you just blindly look at stats, you can pinpoint a couple areas that look similar. But come on man that's lazy analysis. Instead of throwing lower percentage throws, Dalton held onto the ball unconscionably long, leading to several of those sacks including that unthinkable one at the end of the first half, inflating his completion percentage. Bryce for all his flaws, does a pretty good job of escaping pressure and scrambling for 5 yards or throwing it away. Dalton's pocket presence was just so incredibly bad today, which led to both of his lost fumbles. If Bryce would just hold onto the ball and get sacked every 3rd play instead of throw it away or try a contested pass, his completion percentage would be 15 points higher than Dalton's today. And Bryce only had more yardage in 3 of 7 games? You mean when we played run heavy schemes in our wins, instead of Dalton being forced to throw all game cause we're getting blown out?  Look anyone is more than justified in arguing Bryce Young doesn't have the tools to lead this team to a super bowl. But he has been head and shoulders better this year than what Dalton showed today. That was just an abysmal perfomance.

      It's really not a surprise is it?

      100% correct.    we also have a team that is completely incapable of responding to adversity. The first sign of trouble and the team just unravels. I think that says a lot about coaching more than anything. It can also be explained with the amount of youth we have playing key roles on offense and defense.

      Damning indictment of Bryce Young

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      He's not elevating anyone around him and will never be that kind of qb. He is what he is. He will always need a good team around him to play his best. His best is not a game changer but game manager. If you accept that then you will understand what the outlook is going forward.
