I have been having a conversation with reporter Joe Curley about the lack of transparency inre Gurley before the Super Bowl. Backing up just a bit, I was commenting about GMFB trying to read the tea leaves about McVay's statements concerning Gurley's readiness. I commented that it was as though McVay was a liar and they were trying to read through the tea leaves as to what is true.
Joe Curley: "
I don’t care what GMFB says but I think Sean burned his bridge in January.
He said Todd was 100 percent healthy going into the super bowl.
Prior to Gurley and Rath, Sean had been pretty honest with fans and media.
Now I don’t think you can believe a word he says
We won’t know anything about Todd until camp. Maybe until Carolina."
He's upset that McVay wasn't totally transparent with him and other reporters at the time. As a fan, I understand that it's his job to report facts, and it's Sean McVay's job to win football games. Curley said it was McVay's job to report injuries fully. I retorted that if it was arthritis from the college injury, it never fully goes away. It ebbs and intensifies with life and age. It wasn't a new injury.
This apparently made McVay a liar in Curley's eyes. I said:
"If it's arthritis, whose condition flares up at times, but is always there in varying conditions...(If you always report it, it loses it's informational value....)I heard that the arthritis was from the old injury...I think McVay explained that after the Super Bowl, I believe?"
But regardless of that, it's before training camp right now. It's a different time of the football year when less is on the line.
"If we hold all GM's and HC's to absolute transparency, then none are innocent. You can't be a little bit pregnant if you fornicate only at certain times of the year (before the NFL Draft and come playoff time). HC's and GM's are not transparent the whole NFL year.
*This is about Coach McVay's transparency (or the lack of it) and not Gurley's knee, so please do not make it about that.
