    I would hope they don't draft a QB the head coach doesn't want.

    Yep. Bad situation if the HC doesn't want the guy you bring in. Hopefully, if this is true information, it is a case of each guy just wanting a certain guy more than the other two and not wanting one guy and not wanting the others.

    C'mon, you guys actually believe this?

    This is all about getting the most out of trading down.

    I agree... But at the same time it's a lot easier to find a head coach than it is a good quarterback.

    Total garbage is my guess. "someone I trust" is code for "I want to get some attention on twitter by making up a story with an easy narrative so I'll pretend I have a source."

    A little off topic, but why was Rick Smith not fired?

    If true, where does that leave Bortles?

    Sounds fishy....i dont think BOB would want clowney, knowing the mess he has at QB. That position is too important to him.

    He should have been tossed out with the rest of the leftovers. My hunch is that he has very little power now, thankfully.

    I am a well known Bridgewater huff but if this is true.

    DRAFT CLOWNEY

    Always go with what the HC is going for.

    It's a tweet referencing an anonymous tipster. It must be true.

    Even if this is true, I'm guessing it's a ploy to trade down.

    I don't buy it. But if there were a difference of opinion between the GM and the coach, McNair would be the decider. He said as much when BOB was hired.

    Somehow I think The new coach probably has more clout on these decisions that be Rick smith does. We won 2 games last year.

    Meh...

    Not that long ago the reports were Smith wanted Clowney and Gramps wanted Manziel. It doesn't matter, Smith and Gramps will find a way to screw it up... Maybe they take Bortles as a compromise or maybe they have Casserly brought back for the draft and let him a future disapointment.
