You keep saying this but have zero evidence of it.
He regularly smoked our defense all season, running scout teams. Of course, yeah that's our D. But still.
Anyway no matter the actual status of him, they're not gonna say anything negative - he might be trade bait at some point so of course they're gonna say nice stuff.
But more to the point, I really don't think they're all that unreasonable thinking Tony has some good years left, especially if he has a really good offseason of rest and the right rehab for his back. He's not been a concussion sufferer, there's really nothing else that could shorten his career at this point. Plus, really there's nothing impressive at all about this QB draft class.
