So few of his teammates (if any) have taken exception to his departure, which leads me to think that it was widely understood. Unfortunately his name has been dragged through the mud for over 10 years because we assume the worst. It's the easiest thing to do.
Personally, I don't think Chase is a smokescreen. Imo it's a done deal and has been for a while, and what we see now is just a PR campaign to give him a soft landing. There's too much smoke to ignore, and I just don't think we'd have the capacity (much less the propensity) to coordinate something like that anyway.
My biggest problem with Chase is that it'll follow him, Burrow and this team around forever. See how Eisen's already talking about it- a pick they haven't even made. We're just stacking the deck against yourselves, as if our odds weren't bad enough to begin with. The media will love framing it as a bad pick to perpetuate the Bungles' narrative. In fact, that's the easiest thing for them to do.
Carson left in a bad way, cannot defend him or blame him honestly with this FO.
With Chase, if it is a done deal I sure know that everyone will be crazy if we don't pick OL in the 2nd. Just heard we are talking
with Sewell so I don't know if it is a done deal that we take Chase. Also the Falcons could pick him in front of us or another team
could trade up in front of us and take Chase for all we know. Agree about the media, I wouldn't make it so easy on them.
I am back on the Sewell train LMAO! Also love Pitts.
