There is NOTHING in that that confirms Zac Taylor begged him back. Begging is when someone says something along the lines of, "Please come back! We need you!" There has been nothing confirmed by Zac Taylor or anyone else of what was said, just that Zac Taylor had a conversation with Westerman.


Could you provide any proof that Taylor "begged" or even asked Westerman to come back?
The only evidence I've seen regarding Taylor speaking to Westerman at all was this...

So this is what it's about? I wasn't attacking Zac, I'm all in on ZT. Who cares what he really said. To Westerman it was enough to get him out of retirement (try not to roll your eyes), and to me enough to sound like he made him feel wanted.

Whatever the case is it didn't help his starting chances. So it was a stunt in my book. When you play your card, you better play your card. That was an odd card to play (for whatever reasons), and anything important enough to play that card wouldn't be resolved in a week. He could have just got an excused absence and handled any business like that.

I live in a different world then the NFL, but I cant imagine someone retiring for a week, then coming back to work after the boss calls. To me, I classify that as some behind the scene fit thrown. That backfired. Since he's likely to be cut.

Not to name drop anyone, but the point is appreciated, and key to this whole little dustup. I've never said any of this was fact, and I kept saying yalls opinion was no better than mine. I'll provide facts for my opinions when everyone else does, for every single thought and opinion of their own. Until then I'll just say what's on my mind and accept others for there in the moment thoughts and feelings. If you looking for links, stats, blogs, pff and breakdowns of all that, you looking at the wrong poster. But I appreciate those posters too. We all bring our own little something to the board, and it's cool we disagree.
