They were directly conflicting with the team message so it seemed more credible.
Kyler himself said he was 100% a couple weeks back.
My guess?? Small internal power struggle between GM and HC.
Monti has to evaluate Murray so he can decide if he is in our future or if we need to draft a guy.
JG has to establish his authority with Kyler and the team. The only way JG can do that is with playing time but you can't really bench your star QB... So you keep him from coming back until he gets with the program ...could explain the mysterious," he needs some tough coaching" comment JG made a couple weeks back.
But Monti needs him to play. Maybe when he expressed that to JG, coach kinda brushed him off a bit...told him to stay in his lane ..
So Monti considers it ... Decides Gannon needs some tough coaching too ...so he stays in his lane and trades Dobbs...now JG has nobody who can run the offense ... Kyler has to play.
