    He said the Colts had a first round grade on Brady and said he had Romo as a first rounder.

    I love it from the other side, whoooah there. What I mean is those were my quotes about Memphis after they handed pau to the fakers, who at the time was one of my favorite players. after that move to L.A, I disowned pau.

    Lol. A bunch of old school mentality execs. The Harvard boys in Cleveland just revolutionized trades in the NFL.

    Throughout the entire 2016 season, we saw a bit of - I wouldn't say lack of communication - but the chemistry was never there between Brock & entire offense.

    Of course we know how this happened a year ago where they signed basically Osweiler without having had met the head coach, coaching staff & OC. Throughout the year, he was a bit inconsistent.

    From what I've learned, the final road game, Houston traveled to Tennessee. That's the game Savage got knocked out with a concussion. Brock came in. I think he threw a couple of TDs. I don't recall if they won that game or not. That was his opportunity to regain the starting job. But before he entered the game, around halftime, it was a physical confrontation between Bill O'Brien & Brock. It got ugly. You see verbal arguments all the time. That's normal in the NFL. It was physical. Tempers were at an all-time high on both sides. Both had to be restrained. Seeing what happened today & giving away your "franchise player" with only a year of his services being used AND a second round pick - a valuable pick - they wanted to get rid of Brock at all costs. They didn't care about handing over a 2nd rounder as long as they got rid of the player & that contract, that was a top priority.

    Seems legit. :rolleyes:

    I did a google search for Osweiler/OB confrontations and apparently there were multiple articles throughout the year about shouting matches between the two, so maybe this possible. Apparently they got into a major argument over play calling two weeks after OB took over. Osweiler refused to comment on it. They had another argument after a player's meeting.

    Yeah it started back in October, how did no one here bring this up? Were we so sullen in our misery that no one did any digging to see the source of all the craziness this season? O'Brien didn't want him and it showed from day one

    I'm kind of puzzled that I never saw these articles either. These aren't NEW articles detailing this, they are articles from October, November, December and January detailing arguments, shouting matches, etc. How did I never hear about this?

    Seems like these guys hated each other lol.

    BOB got into regular screaming fits with Tom Brady.

    I can only imagine the kind of histrionics that he and Brock delved into.

    The biggest miss was just about every pass Brock threw!
