I want to say it was Tuesday when Casserly made the comments on NFL Network that his sources where saying Kyler Murray's interviews at the combines " were so bad that he doesn't deserve to go in the first round."

I've never seen a reporter rip a player like this guy did. As he's saying it's almost like hes doing it on purpose to help drop the kid down boards!

He's just doing his jobs. It's not like he was sitting in those interviews and then gave his opinion. He was reporting what his sources gave him.

No I get that, but you would think a guy like Charlie who's been around the game as long as he has been would know the difference between legit information and BS >

is this the same source that told Adam Schefter there was a bigger name than Robert Kraft in the prostitute raid?

all parties have disputed his report.

Which ones? I didn't think he actually named anyone.

The agent is obviously the most biased person in this discussion. Not sure why we'd take his word on anything in this scenario.

Casserly bio from wiki:

Casserly started with the Redskins in 1977 as an unpaid intern under Hall of Fame coach, George Allen. Washington hired Casserly as a scout the next season. During his early years as a scout, he unearthed free agents Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic, who were original members of the famed "Hogs" offensive line and key components of Washington's first two Super Bowl teams. Jacoby was selected to four Pro Bowls and Bostic made one trip to Honolulu. The Redskins elevated Casserly to Assistant General Manager in 1982 and the club went on to capture its first Super Bowl. That year, Casserly also re-instituted the club's intern program, which has produced more than 20 league executives over his years in Washington and Houston.

During the NFL players strike in 1987, Casserly put together the Redskins' "replacement" team that went 3–0 before the strike ended, including a Monday Night win against a Dallas team that featured a number of its star players. That experience was the subject of the Warner Bros. feature film, "The Replacements," that starred Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman.[citation needed]

Elevated to General Manager in 1989, Casserly sustained the Redskins' history of uncovering high-quality players in the later rounds of the draft.[citation needed] He used a fifth-round draft pick in 1990 to select Southwest Louisiana quarterback Brian Mitchell. Washington then converted Mitchell into a running back/kick returner, where he later joined Jim Brown as the only players in NFL history to lead the league in combined net yards four times. In 1996, Casserly plucked Auburn University running back Stephen Davis in the fourth round. Davis paced the NFC in rushing in 1999 with 1,450 yards. Casserly also drafted future Pro Bowlers in wide receiver Keenan McCardell (12th round, 1991) and tight end Frank Wycheck (sixth round, 1993). During the 1999 off-season, Casserly acquired veteran quarterback Brad Johnson who responded with a Pro Bowl season.

In 1999, Sports Illustrated, Pro Football Weekly, The Sporting News and USA Today named Casserly their NFL Executive of the Year at mid-season. On draft day in 1999, Casserly acquired all of the New Orleans Saints1999 selections, plus their first and third-round picks in 2000 by swapping the Redskins' fifth selection in the first round for the Saints' 12th choice. He still managed to obtain the player that Washington wanted, selecting future Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey.

Not all of Casserly's picks were good ones. A number of his selections were poor, with the most notable example being Heath Shuler, who was selected with the third overall pick in the 1994 NFL draft. Shuler had a fruitless NFL career. In 2008, ESPN rated Shuler the 4th biggest NFL Draft bust of all time.[3]

Casserly's Redskins career ended after the 1999 season when he was fired by team owner Dan Snyder

Obviously had a rough time in Houston but he isn't a 'nobody' or anything

Think Casserly being a former GM has his contacts in the NFL and his contacts had a harsh opinion of Murray interviews. So what's the problem here ? I know we got a PC culture, where you shouldn't ever say anything that might offend, even if it's the truth, but I don't go along with that train of thought.

Doesn't that make it extremely unlikely he's making it up? This would be the first intentional hit job on a QB like this since I've followed the draft in the 90s.

WFT are you talking about? How do you know it's BS?

 

[NinerSickness]

Casserly is an idiot and obnoxious as hell. I don't know how people can even listen to his drivel.

The question isn't whether he's smart or likable; the question is whether he's just a compulsive liar or not. This would be a pretty tough one to get away with, especially with so many people in the NFL who could refute this story (which nobody has).

Espn ripped him this morning

That's because BSPN is ran be morons. They have zero indication anything he said was false but immediately go for a hit job of their own.

It was mc’shay ripping him

 

[NinerSickness]

Why didn't people (with no critical-thinking skills) think people were making it up when it was reported Jamies Winston had the best white-board session since Peyton Manning? Negative reports must be false, but believe all positive ones?

I agree with Casserly.

Why didn't Murray workout at the combine?

 

[jdwills126]

And Murray was ripped by scouts and NFL types at the Super bowl for bad interviews.

If Murray becomes the next Jeff George will they apologize to him?

 

[BigKen]

No one should report third hand info.

It's my understanding that players only interview with coaches and GMs, not scouts or secretaries or ball boys.

I've yet to ever hear a coach or GM publicly say anything about any player prior to the draft. For good reason. If they say something negative and aniothergets the next Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, he'll most likely be coiaching Pop Warner in the future. If he fawns and drools over a player and he's the next Ryan Leaf, ditto on his future.

My guess is that he got something from someone who doesn't like Murray and used it as if he knew everything. He looks like an asshole nearly every year offering his 'expertise' prior to and during the draft.
