Agreed. I have no problem with reporting about who has interviewed where, and who has requested interviews with whom. But anything about who has the inside track or who is the favorite is just clickbait masquerading as analysis....

[BlueTalon]

Why? Not trying to be a curmudgeon, just curious....

It appears that nobody actually knows anything at this point. The reporting seems to be a mix of rumor and conjecture.

That linked article reminded me of Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear. He's say "Some say..." and then follow that up with literally anything, no matter how ridiculous....

Two things, I suppose. One, "we" apparently don't mostly know what's gone on before, since there are still so many varying opinions about it. Which leads to... Two, that phenomenon mirrors the Seahawks message board over the past few years, but in a much more condensed version, and I find...

Dude, I don't know what to tell you. If you are going to refuse to believe anything reported by anybody, then you have a very convenient bubble of reality defined by whatever you choose to believe. Trust your own memory, if it goes back that far -- Russ came to Denver to be a partner with the coaches,...

This take is utterly mindboggling to me. Most of what you saw in the Broncos offense this year was a result of Wilson imposing his will on the Broncos. The difference between Wilson and Manning imposing their wills was in what they imposed their wills to accomplish.

It's an undeniable...

I don't know if it qualifies as a DEMAND if everyone on the Broncos staff was so willing to give him whatever he wanted....

Well played, sir....

Leslie Frazier was interviewed by five different teams on their way to hiring someone else before he was interviewed by a team that was actually interested in hiring him. How did that benefit anybody?...

[BlueTalon]

You mean last year a year ago or last year a week ago?...

[BlueTalon]

Ooooh... We don't know, really.

Personally, when I see the possible cause of something bad as being either evil intent or stupidity, I usually conclude it's stupidity. But not always....

That's the unintended consequence of the Rooney Rule. A minority candidate for a head coaching job can never be sure if an interview for a position is legit, or if it's checking a box. Unless he's the second or third minority candidate to be offered an interview....

One of the reasons Carroll & Schneider wanted Lock as part of the deal was that they graded him higher than any QB coming out in the 2022 draft....
