    We don’t need him this year. Put him on IR for the year and let him study behind Theilen and Renfrow. Next year, he may have a legit shot at playing time. 

    lol bruh we’re one of the laughingstocks of the league. We need all hands on deck.

    She ain't an all-pro. Dude could have pulled a 10 that would just hang out in the mansion and use his credit card. Instead he settled for a 6 that thinks she's going to use him to build a pr empire and be annoying as fug while doing it.

    You probably couldn’t pull her bro.

    May as well grab Tyler Warren. Bigger, nearly as fast, plays two positions but can line-up at four. They kept saying Bryce is a mini-Mahomes. But what has Mahomes been with Kelci on the decline?

    Give me Tyler Warren to see what Bryce can do with a guy he can just play some backyard ball with. No other position gives you that flexibility and Warren is not only the best tight end but one of the best receivers in the draft.

    Take Warren. Find a receiver you love later on. I'm not sure where Restrepo is going but Warren and Restrepo as the only two offensive picks would make me very, very happy this year. I'd also like Skattebo to add some physicality to the offense but beggers can't be choosers. 

    Give me Warren and Restrepo, go defense later where the draft is deep. Walker is a JAG. 

    And you know what. That works for me too.

    Milquetoast David Tepper who couldn't handle a mildly outspoken Cam Newton without unceremoniously jettisoning him to the shadow realm would never sign off on Shedeur Sanders. He mortgaged the future of the team to draft the QB who was as far away from being like Cam he could find. Might as well wake up from your dream and stop simping bud.

    Huh

    Great metaphor.  I would be in the room, I would be watching the process and evaluating my staff and personnel.  I might even have them explain their thinking to me, but I would do so in a way that did not make them think I was evaluating them or questioning their decisions--if that is even possible.

    As a college educator teaching a principal leadership program, I was constantly aware of the irony of expecting my students to follow my directions, dictate information I was telling them, and then completing my assignments.  I implemented a lot of group work during my seminars, and I noticed that when I joined the group, they all made comments looking at me, as if seeking my approval.  I wondered if it distorted the message they were really sending, converting it to something they felt that I wanted to hear.  If I said nothing, they examined my face for clues or silent affirmation.  Even though I gave them the green light to say whatever, I was the alpha, not the person speaking.  It changed the dynamic.

    So I had them meet online in Zoom groups.  I did not attend, but I had them record the session and include the link.  I could tell there was a difference.  They were more empowered, confident, and creative.  Those were the future leaders I wanted to see. 

    So If Tepper is going to participate, he needs to do so in a manner that does not have his employees second guessing or looking at his face for approval.  He needs to realize that his leaders work best when they rely on their expertise and intuition instead of guessing what Tepper's might be.  This is not Tepper's fault; it is human nature.  Watch wolves or geese or any hierarchical power structure--if the leader is NOT making the decision, he or she is influencing it.  So Tepper needs to be aware.  With Fitterer, I got the impression that he was Tepper's puppet--always seeking a pat on the head.  He was our worst GM ever. 

    So yes, be part of it, but understand your role and do all that you can to empower the subordinates to act in ways they see fit instead of speculating what the Alpha might want.  Does that make sense?  It is a gray area that most might not think about.

    fug that. Respectfully. If I paid a billion dollars for a team and I want my team to draft Shedeur then that’s what I’m demanding.  This is my toy not yours.

    I think a total hands off approach is not attainable.  The football team is a toy the Billionaire plays with. 
     Ideally he finds a happy balance of being informed, engaged and questioning the process.  

    It’s one thing to be aware  of what’s going on and make sure there is logic and reason in said process.  It’s another to circumvent the process with “ gut instinct” and personal preference. 
     

    if he can do that, drop some cash in the facilities and stop throwing  drinks, things will start turning around I hope 
     

    It’s always wild to tell a man to stay away from something he paid a billion dollars for. Nonsense

    Taking any potential options off the board is the dumbest poo in the world. Sometimes you're on the clock and don't see great value on the board and if the phone is ringing with offers that you see more value in than the talent available then you're crazy to just pick a player because that what we do here in this organization!

    You can have your strategy and I can have mine bro. Respect your opinion and I never said you don’t pick up the phone if someone calls. But initiating a trade back indicates lack of preparation. Especially in the first round.
