Following Kurt Benkert’s unfortunate injury, which ended up placing him in injured reserve, the Falcons were left with a vacant QB3 spot on the roster. They ended up signing Matt Simms, but it turns out that he wasn’t their primary preference.Garrett Grayson, the former four-year starter at Colorado State, who was a wasted third-round pick by the New Orleans Saints Ricardo Allen Jersey 2019 , was the first option to fill Benkert’s vacated spot in the quarterback room.Grayson was boasted about by Saints fans as the next great QB on their team’s roster, and he ended up appearing in a grand total of one regular season game in his NFL career. There was some potential there, however, as he did explode to the tune of 4,006 passing yards and a TD/INT ratio of 32 touchdowns against 7 interceptions in his senior year at Colorado State in 2014.Things didn’t work out in New Orleans, and Grayson was subsequently cut from his first NFL home in 2017. He was signed to Atlanta’s practice squad one month later. He didn’t end up sticking in Atlanta either, and found himself on Denver’s practice squad before getting cut for a final time in May of this year.The door was re-opened for him to have a legitimate chance to compete for a roster spot with the Falcons this year Matt Bosher Jersey 2019 , but he seems to have seriously stepped from the game of football once and for all.Matt Schaub looked awful in the Hall of Fame Game, and the last time we had seen Simms was in the AAF, where he was getting benched in favor of Aaron Murray.Pray for Matt Ryan’s good health. With a punctuation-fueled dispute recently emerging regarding whether the Commissioner claimed that representatives of the league office spoke with Saints players, it’s fair to scrutinize other claims made by the league regarding communications that occurred, or didn’t occur, in the aftermath of the Rams-Saints NFC Championship.Here’s one that was resolved conclusively on Thursday. Despite a weekend leak by the league to ESPN and a Wednesday contention from the Commissioner at his annual pre-Super Bowl press conference that Competition Committee chairman Rich McKay spoke to Saints coach Sean Payton in the aftermath of the playoff game, McKay told on Thursday afternoon that the two men have not spoken.“No Black Matt Bosher Jersey ,” McKay said regarding whether he spoke to Payton. “I texted him after the game. I probably shouldn’t have. And I told him what a great year he had and how well I thought they’d played, and that I was sorry the way the game had come out. He texted back. Texted back again. I texted one more time and then I realized, ‘You know what? It’s a little sensitive. . . . I might want to back up here.'”While not a major point, nuances, details, and subtleties like this can become relevant when trying to determine who does, and doesn’t Limited Julio Jones Jersey , possess true and genuine credibility when trying to figure out the truth regarding the league’s contentions, positions, and intentions as to the challenge of improving officiating.From why the league waited to admit the mistake publicly to whether the league is truly committed to finding creative and meaningful ways to ensure that similar outcomes won’t happen in the future, all we have to work with at this point is the league’s word.
