49ers HC Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch would both like to see the NFL look into allowing an "emergency QB" that would not count against the game day roster limit. So teams could avoid what happened to the 49ers last weekend. The idea would be to dress a 3rd/4th QB who doesn't count on the roster and may only enter the game if the active QBs ahead of him are all injured.
"Definitely would be in favor of it," Shanahan said Wednesday. "We were scared to death when that rule ended, whatever many years ago that was. You kind of forget about it since you don't see anyone have to go through it, but then you get reminded of how quickly a football game is over once that happens. So I think that would be a very smart thing to have." "I think it would be good for football," Lynch said. "You're always trying to develop these guys, but you're always weighing that, carrying three as opposed to their roster value of being able to host a full complement of position players at different positions. I think if the league just kind of gave you an out there, everybody would be forced to do it, you'd have more people in camps improving, I think it'd be good for football." |

ProFootballNetwork "NFL News and Rumors": Why is the Arizona Cardinals head coach job taking so long to fill? If you are to believe what people in Mobile [for the Senior Bowl] are saying, it's due to Kyler Murray, and it's not because the quarterback has a large say in the matter. Rather, many of the desired candidates don't want to take the job knowing they'll be tied to the hip of Murray for the next four seasons. Murray signed a five-year, $230 million contract in late August, and anyone who takes the Cardinals job will have no options in the foreseeable future at quarterback.

Via The Philadelphia Inquirer : They taught Jalen Hurts how to make a cheesesteak. His response 'truly changed our lives.'
A nice feel good story, put most of it in the spoiler tag: Click To View Spoiler Jalen Hurts borrowed an apron last summer, stepped behind the grill at the FoodChasers Kitchen, and attempted to cook his first cheesesteak. And that’s when the quarterback, who has looked flawless at times this season while guiding the Eagles to the Super Bowl, revealed his shortcomings as a short-order cook.
“He wanted to put mozzarella on it,” said Maya Johnstone, who owns the Elkins Park restaurant with her twin sister, Kala. “We said, ‘No.’ He’s like, ‘But I like mozzarella.’ This is Philly. You can’t.” Hurts called an audible, swapped mozzarella for Cooper sharp, and got to work. The cheesesteak also includes fried onions and mayo and has become a menu staple, aptly called the “Jalen Special.” Hurts was at the restaurant to film a Pepsi commercial and his attempt at making a cheesesteak was an added wrinkle after he wandered into the kitchen. When he left, Hurts pulled the twins aside and told them he would keep supporting them. “We thought he was going to come back and buy a cheesesteak,” Maya Johnstone said. It, instead, has been much more. When he left, Hurts pulled the twins aside and told them he would keep supporting them. He posted the commercial onto his Twitter account and tagged the restaurant. He mentioned FoodChasers in October when he was on Monday Night Football’s ManningCast and told the NFL a month later that his Thursday Night Football interview had to be filmed at his favorite spot on Montgomery Avenue, which is about a post route from the Elkins Park regional rail train station. The quarterback’s seal of approval, the twins said, brought their small business a sizable buzz. But that wasn’t it. That Pepsi commercial netted them a $10,000 grant. He next connected the twins with Truist Bank, who donated $5,000 to the sisters’ foundation that donates lunches to Philly students. Louisiana Hot Sauce, which recently released a Hurts sauce, now wants to partner with FoodChasers. Hurts even gives the sisters marketing ideas. The FoodChasers Kitchen - which is open Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. - is thriving with Hurts under center. The Eagles QB, they said, has “truly changed our lives.” “Dad, you wouldn’t believe what’s happening,” Maya Johnstone said. “This is unbelievable. It’s dreams that we didn’t even have for ourselves. He’s putting us in rooms with people who we would never dream of meeting. We got laughed out of banks when we tried opening. “This would never happen if he didn’t always tell people, ‘Call the twins. Call the twins. Call the twins.’” Hurts’ marketing agent texted the sisters on Saturday to see if the restaurant could open for Hurts and his family if the Eagles won the NFC championship. Of course, they said. They prepped the food in the morning, took the Broad Street Line to the Linc, and cheered like crazy for the Birds as they knew a win meant they were cooking for the quarterback. They hustled back to Elkins Park and jumped in the kitchen. A few hours after the win, Hurts - his NFC championship hat still on his head - arrived at FoodChasers with 15 friends and family. They stayed until after midnight as they ate a dinner that included ribeyes, chicken, sweet potatoes, a “Jalen pasta,” macaroni and cheese, wings named after Hurts, and of course the Jalen Special cheesesteak. The sisters said they were in tears. The Eagles just punched their ticket to the Super Bowl and the quarterback picked their restaurant - a Black-owned business opened less than two years ago that they dreamed about owning for years - for his celebration. They told Hurts how thankful they were. He stopped them. “He said, I see what you’re doing with kids in the community,” Maya Johnstone said. “I actually admire you. All I want to leave you with is dream bigger. Let’s do something bigger now. I give something to you and you give something to someone else.” |

In relation to the criticism of Tony Romo's broadcasting this season and especially later in the season, the NY Post's Andrew Marchand is reporting that CBS executives attempted an "intervention" with Romo during the last offseason.
"Tony Romo needs to study more. He needs to be better prepared. As you move away from the sidelines, you need to do more work. I know CBS is aware of this. They tried an intervention last offseason. They knew, they anticipated this. That's a credit to them, the people in charge there. But it has not gotten better." Marchand also implied that Romo's booth partner, Jim Nantz, isn't going to do much to help Romo. "Nantz is about Nantz. He's been like that for a long time. You see that in the postgame when he does the broadcast and then he's going down and doing the podium. I don't understand why Tracy Wolfson or someone else can't do that but it's Nantz all the time." Romo, in a recent interview with the NY Post, talked about the criticism he has received as late. "I just think it's enjoyable to try and be the best you can be, and the only way to do that is sometimes to trial and error, and staying inside the umbrella of what you think that the viewer wants to help them enjoy the show. You don't always get it right, but I do think more often than not, just the people that come up to you all the time. I mean, it's quadruple from my first 2-3 years, of how many people come up to me on the street and want to talk about it and how they loved it and stuff. So it's really rewarding for that." |

Quoted: That guy that came in after Purdy got hurt wasn't going to win that game and neither would have anyone else they would have had tagging along as a 3rd active QB. View Quote Agreed. Even with Jimmy/Lance/Purdy I think they'd have had a hell of a time with the Eagles. Would have been a better game for us though, and I would assume that's better for the NFL as well. |

Teams cannot afford to keep that many good QB's on the roster riding the pine. |

I don't know about that. With Purdy not injured the difference in the game was that non-catch on the 4th down play the 49ers didn't challenge. |

Speaking of which: when there is a huge play that the team on defense might want to challenge how come when the offense is rushing to snap the ball a defensive player doesn't fake an injury on the field so his team gets extra time to look at it?

Quoted: What you talking about? I mean, sure, Burrow did imply that he wanted every gun to be outlawed, but after he did he said his job is to play football. That, somehow, means he is absolved of everything he said. View Quote He also said it it up to others to figure that stuff out. It sounded like an off the cuff answer to a question he didn't want to answer. He tries not to be political, but when sports leeches and hangers on need something to ask, they go beyond sports. Why would they ask that question to begin with? Like he said, his job is football, not politics or activism. |

Quoted: Agreed but Jason Whitlock has some interesting comments on him. I have heard he is a good guy from people as second hand and third hand info though. https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2022-09-22-jason-whitlock-says-joe-burrow-is-suffering-from-colin-kaepernick-disease/ View Quote That guy has a hard on for Burrow. It seems he attacks pretty much everything he says. He leaves out stuff and makes it sound the way he wants. |

View Quote Amazing cap manipulation and drafting will do that. Course they had a just little help against Cincy. |

It would have been a closer, more enjoyable, game if those guys had played the whole game, but the Eagles were outplaying them in multiple aspects so IMO it would have been an uphill struggle. |

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fn-Gil7XoAAhd6g?format=jpg&name=small 4th down bots, Scorigami, Surrender Index punting stats... all that stuff is probably toast. View Quote Noooooooooooooo Would it Dong is my favorite baseball account. Fuck |
