It would be good to separate the Hoody Geniuses to improve the competitive balance in the NFL

It would be good to have the Pats not have 6 auto wins per year in their division. They are on the downward spiral. Article on ESPN right now detailing Bellicheats terrible drafts lately.

Pretty sure its back in the AFC Least.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
The #Panthers are hiring #Baylor coach Matt Rhule, source says (as @PeteThamel reported). They are working out the deal as we speak. They did not want him to get on the plane to the #Giants.

So Rhule doesn't go to Giants, who must now go to choice #2. And Hoody Jr.'s interview is apparently canceled.

So who was leaking all the details about the interview for Rhule in NY? And all his connections to the northeast? Must have been his agents doing a good job of snookering insiders.

New York Giants are finalizing a deal to make Patriots’ wide receivers coach Joe Judge their next head coach, league sources tell ESPN. Deal was in the works as of last night, which is another reason Matt Rhule took the Panthers’ HC job.

Well, this explains Rhule in Carolina. But why?

He was WR coach and ST coordinator. So Harbaugh plan?

With they disarray the Giants are in, they may as well have hired Judge Judy.

Now NY sports has 2 Judges.

Oh, how quickly things change. From March 12:

Ron Wolf once said his greatest regret during his tenure in Green Bay was not listening to a young scout pound the table for Terrell Davis during the 1995 draft. That scout was 35-yo John Dorsey. John's always had an eye for talent. What he pulled off today was his opus magnum.

Tony Ditcharo@Saxmachine1013
I thought the same thing...what an eye to see that Odell kid could play WR (after 5 years) and what a fleece move only giving up your 1st, 3rd and starting safety. No other GM could have pulled that off.

Here's hoping that Prescott takes a big leap under McCarthy. Rodgers always plays best with a giant chip on his shoulder.

Ditcharo would fit in well here.

You will not be amazed that the press conference sounded exactly like his time here. System will be built around his QB to make him successful. Elliot will get a lot of touches.

But are they gonna get that fixed and work on their pad level?
