I'm sure he mis-remembered that & ment Bill O'Brien
I would taken him in a heartbeat. Beats seeing the 2 qb backups we have right now competing. They both remind me of Bucky Richardson and Cody Carlson before the Oilers drafted McNair. That season was rough.I like the 49’ers chances better than the Texans of signing him.
Tennessee Titans have fired Robinson their general manager according to Radio 610. Supposedly due to the loss of AJ Brown.
Timing suggests it was AJ Brown related. Titans were without a passing game, Burks can't stay on the field and AJ had just out performed the entire Titans WR groupJohn McClain on 610 said it was based on AJ Brown leaving but I flipped it to 790 and they thought there was something behind the scenes that fans may never know. Suggestion was that he had got into it with somebody.
That sounds familiar. Hey, where did Jack Easterby land?Reports are going around that Vrabel is expected to have significant power after Robinson's dismissal, despite the Titans naming Ryan Cowden the interim GM.

They've had recent success but he's made many questionable moves. The OL is struggling. Their WR group is weak and they have an aging QB and a young QB who looks worst than the Texans QBs. That Isaiah Wilson pick was a disaster. I don't think that guy played one game before getting cut. You can add Vic Beasley and Clowney to his list of FA busts.Wow! That is a short leash for the recent success they’ve had.

McClain might be correct. Vrabel was on record that AJ Brown would be a Titan as long as he was HC. Look at his reaction when Brown was traded on draft day.John McClain on 610 said it was based on AJ Brown leaving but I flipped it to 790 and they thought there was something behind the scenes that fans may never know.

Reminds me of the pic of RS and everybody else in the room when the Derrick pick was made.McClain might be correct. Vrabel was on record that AJ Brown would be a Titan as long as he was HC. Look at his reaction when Brown was traded on draft day.
Isn't that going to be at least 7 to 8 weeks "non weight bearing" just for the bones to heal? Then another few weeks of rehab and strength and conditioning. He's not gonna be ready to play anymore games this year.Garoppolo has had a non Lisfranc foot fracture. The team is saying that it will not require surgery and that he could possibly return by 8 weeks. There seems to be some misinformation in that there is more than one fracture. And although there is no anticipated surgery, I can hardly believe he is not out for season, especially with the other injuries he has been dealing with up to the time of his latest injury.
Depending on which metatarsals and where the metatarsals are fractured, the rehab can vary. The simplest and best case scenario nondisplaced metatarsal fractures may commonly be wrapped (sometimes splinted) while progressive weightbearing can commence as early as ~3-4 weeks. But even for these, it will take another 6-8 weeks to rehab the foot ankle to safely return to full football activity.Isn't that going to be at least 7 to 8 weeks "non weight bearing" just for the bones to heal?

Distinct feeling of deja vu...............

No criminal charges will be filed against Matt Araiza
Posted by Mike Florio on December 7, 2022, 4:27 PM EST
Former Bills punter Matt Araiza, who was cut by the team once accusations of rape came to light, will not face criminal charges for the October 2021 incident.
Via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office decided not to pursue criminal charges against Araiza or the other San Diego State players involved in the alleged gang rape.
Said the D.A.: “Ultimately, prosecutors determined it is clear the evidence does not support the filing of criminal charges and there is no path to a potential criminal conviction. Prosecutors can only file charges when they ethically believe they can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.”
That’s a high-minded way of saying prosecutors hate to lose. And they do. The bar for a conviction is very high. If they don’t believe they can surpass it, they exercise their discretion to not pursue criminal charges.
Attorney Dan Gilleon, who represents the alleged victim, seemed to expect the outcome.
“I’m not surprised,” Gilleon said, via Tim Graham of TheAthletic.com. “The police rarely pay much attention to cases where the victim is intoxicated. Here, the police made it clear in January 2022 that they weren’t interested in the case. They made that clear by ghosting my client and keeping her in the dark. It was only the media attention that caused the police to commence a dog and pony show long enough for them to say they conducted a thorough investigation.”
The civil case against Araiza continues. The standard of proof in that setting is much, much lower. Basically, it’s a 51-49 evidentiary balance.
Because the incident allegedly happened before he was drafted by the Bills in April 2022, Araiza would be subject to no discipline, regardless of the outcome of the civil case. He could be signed by any other team at any time — and maybe a team will give him an opportunity now that the cloud of potential criminal liability has evaporated.
The question is whether the talent justifies the P.R. hit, especially in light of the position Araiza plays. And, yes, teams will definitely engage in that analysis when deciding whether to sign him
I don't know how if his quirkiness, humor and style will wear off when they are losing. By many accounts, the guy is great offensive mind and give the Dolphins credit for hiring him. I'm rooting for the geek.
