Could This Be Spielman’s Best Draft? - Guest - 08-16-2017
This was fun to write, I appreciate the positive comments and the critisism, I may take another shot at writing something again and hopefully learn from the comments people left. I am also glad that it created some good discussion.

To respond to the headline - maybe, maybe not; but for sure, it's three years too early to think seriously about it.
To respond to the first sentence of the second-to-last paragraph - I'm not excited at all by what I saw from the likes of those guys (Aug. 28).
To respond to the photo - I realize this will sound slightly bizarre, but I myself am bugged by a guy who looks oh-so-burdened by his large responsibilities in front of thousands of people. Seems show-offy to me: "Hey everyone, look at me, I have large responsibilities!!!"

My only response is to the photo comment. With thousands of photos being taken of a person over a short period of time, it isn't hard to select a photo that conveys what the photog/editor wants. So I don't take much stock in a simple photo that is released to the media.

That photo was taken by us at Training Camp. He was walking the sidelines, who knows what he was thinking but I wouldn't take much from the photo other than it was apic of a guy that was in the moment of thinking of something. What that was is anyone's guess.

I'm not putting a lot of stock in it either. It's mostly BFD. That said, I don't like it. In almost years of watching the sideline demeanors of Bud Grant, Don Shula, and Vince Lombardi, I never once saw them put the head down as if to say, "Oh, my, so burdened am I."
