This guy may work out. Who knows? It's not like MIA or TEN are hotbeds for getting the most out of their WRs.

I think the FO (i.e. Whaley) has the tendency to pick players with borderline injury histories. We've seen this with numerous picks, as well as free agency. We want to point our fingers at the medical staff, but they are not the ones drafting our players. Many of these players come with well documented injuries. At the end of the day, Whaley has final say and he has been selecting them. If we had selected Gronk, who came with a clear injury history, would we be calling for the medical staff to be fired? He's injury prone and this is why the majority of teams avoided him. If Whaley was in charge that daft though, I'm sure we would've taken him. What exactly was our medical staff to do with Henderson? They deal with sports medicine. Were they supposed to guide his Crohn's treatments? I'm glad they were hands-off in this situation. His disease is completely unrelated to football, so their hands were tied. Let him come back when he's ready. They played this one correctly.

Just make sure his bad shoulder hits the ground first, then absorbs 300 lbs of dead weight.

They were never officially marketed as such. Instead, N.W.A.

I'm glad he's mending well. Guess he didn't buy into Brady's witchdoctor.

Good. Now Hughes will know which one to break.

Thread title was on the money though (no pun intended), Gilmore may have had his contract affect his play today.

To be fair, I think that's exactly what he was thinking about when he pushed for Rex to be hired. And it obviously worked.

Surgery or not, I'm sure Brissett could beat us throwing lefty instead.

Anyone know if Coughlin had any experience overseeing an entire organization? I know he's been a coach forever, but does he have any NFL FO experience?

Wasn't there a thread going around last year about how every read-option QB regresses their 2nd year? Is this a surprise to anyone? The cream will eventually rise though, while the majority seem to fail.

The hiring of Rob says it all to me. I mean, come on. Hiring your twin brother Rob, who had left a trail of destroyed defenses? In what universe is this a good idea?

I can buy it. This off season and even now, Rex has been doing all the right things to get fired. What does he care? He gets to pocket $25 million either way. That said, if the OP knows enough that this was said, he should also probably know why it was said.

True. I thought he would at least have a say. Guess he has as much say as the ball boy.

I doubt Garappolo would be great on our team. Belichick may not be loved around here, but he's one of the best coaches the NFL has seen. He sets up his QBs to win. We don't.

First time OCs usually aren't stubbornly stuck in their ways like veteran OCs are. I doubt they have many strong opinions about their offense. What Lynn is likely going to do is add a few tweaks and see what works and what doesn't over the next few games. He will mold the offense to his philosophy.

It's definitely refreshing that we finally have an owner who demands accountability. Not only should Rex take notice, but also Whaley. This was Whaley's job to do and he failed. But something tells me Doug has been "hands off" with the coaches since day 1, which is fine because it avoids the HC-GM power struggle we often see in the NFL (or a GM picking a HC to avoid a power struggle).

This is fine. Every single OC in the league was once placed into Lynn's position - having to be an NFL OC for the very first time.

None of this should come as a surprise. TP was a meddling owner with the Sabres before Tim Murray was hired. Plus, that Whaley wasn't involved should worry him as well.

Funny. These were all players that were supposed to win us a Superbowl.

Well, he's going to have to speak up if he wants to play this season.

The OP didn't coin the term. He was just repeating what was stated in the article.

Obviously a fake Twitter account. Tom Brady doesn't have any nuts.

To some, he's a mental coach. To others, he's a shrink.

Agreed This isn't too flattering considering it originated from this board.
