[QUOTE="weeds, post: 654391, member: 39"] "'First off, Scott Tolzien did a great job for us. I can't tell you how much he was a part of not only our quarterback room, but our locker room.'" [I]Note McCarthy's use of the past tense in those sentences - "did" and "was." This sounded like a coach who is thanking a player for his past service to the team after he has already departed, not one who expects that player to return. [/I] This kind of off-season word parsing just tickles my innerds. McCarthy tends to speak in the past sense because he's looking forward to NEXT season ... and LAST season should be addressed in the past tense. To me, that's just the way McCarthy is wired and that's how he verbalizes. [/QUOTE]
