I totally missed that. Who was yelling do you think?

I'm not worked up about this but I had a little beef with his reporting or whatever it is, and can’t remember specifically what it was. A year or so ago maybe. It was something about Wilks or maybe Reich, but I thought the way he presented it was pretty slanted and I disagreed with the facts as he presented them, more or less. I believe it was an audio spot with FNZ. I took note that this guy was maybe all about some kind of agenda to be distorting the reality to make a story more appealing.

I think Cam made his own problems back in his school days. And did so well at staying out of trouble as a pro. He learned.

If Tepper would sign a contract that he would stay in the owner’s suite for two years and let the new coach pick his QB, staff, etc, he could get a great coach. This sucks the same as last year. Thinking I know what I am going to see but have to wait for it to get on the field this year to confirm or deny. It’s all talk at this point.

I didn’t want to make a thread but thought this was a pretty good time suck that might fit in here move it if you want. This guy works his way through the roster and staff piece by piece:

It sort of does open up an NFL farm league though.

Kelce has been a major problem for people.

There was stuff trashing Fields’ attitude recently. May be Chicago damage control propaganda, I don’t really follow them. But DJ seemed to get on the soapbox for him so how bad was it really?

I liked this part the best.

I have been looking at it like Tepper was driving those he employed to get him the QB he wants. As soon as he finished his year of learning the business side, and graduated himself from his year learning the football side. edit: not on the inside and don’t have any factual evidence to back up my impression.

The If they have to pay the guys that generate the revenue, how do they support the parasitic programs? You'd have to go purely by the numbers to keep the most self sufficient sports programs and as many of the lesser revenue producing programs as allowable. By the real numbers not some manufactured hierarchy. Guess who loses that one. Will people allow them to lose? No there would be hell to pay. So here we go.

If I said more about why I see the league being part of the problem I couldn’t post. Still love football, my dad was an example of the difference between college and pro. He ended up coaching for several years. I went on a couple of visits for college ball but knew I wasn’t NFL caliber and had some pretty compelling interests outside of athletics and here we are. I went another way. Still love football but seriously falling out of love with the NFL. Have zero love for Tepper. edit: to stay OnTopic the wins come from facing teams that are down for whatever reason, that week. I don’t know how to know more specifics ahead of their random demises.

I just remember being ridiculed for dissenting on the Young narrative here. Which was he is ... well, y’all remember. Last preseason (excluding a little post draft bitching), since there was no pro evidence, I couldn’t talk until football was played on the field. Fair enough. We have 16 games documented, I can speak freely. The Young supporters hate that.

Gee that sounds awful familiar. I’d say, obviously not referring to you.

It’s like a traffic accident, but I can’t not look. I have taken to watching replays and and not live games, and just enjoying my Sunday afternoons rather than donating every Sunday to the NFL. Who I have grown to despise as an entity. But football is a lifelong interest and difficult to move on from, entirely. Tepper has pushed me to the fringes of fanhood.

I wish there was a way for us to know who to credit for their brilliance. Tepper and lying with a straight face probably aren’t strangers. Absent proof to the contrary, and going by the behavior over Years pushing for his QB, I gotta go top down.

That really gets down to their physical tools, I think. Some can, some can’t keep their ratio at the next level. edit: Which, oh well, that’s the way it goes. I really think it is all about correctly assessing if this translates to successfully competing at the next level. Where everyone is great.

Yep, his first game, I understood. It was something. I had seen too much of the real simplistic play calling from college and not enough of the athleticism at his size.

Not a comparison. Stating a policy with examples and the reasonable justification for the perspective. My fault I guess, this is like the second day that people don’t seem to understand what I’m saying.

No contact and still a bad performance makes it worse. This stuff is why you never trade up to number one. Because you are only getting what someone else is passing on. A generational QB prospect is on the board, no one trades the pick. So get wise.

Linebacker doesn’t throw a football. That matters.

Yes, I believe it was.

Well we wouldn’t have had to draft him specifically. Probably a 10 yard route and 70mph pass.

I don’t feel horrible about the D. Mainly because I like Evero and the why is I think he can do more with less. And he got a couple of more guys he knows. Like Wilks back when he was a DB coach. They gave him poo to work with some years but he got something out of them. Pass rush... yeah that may be a weakness. I think the run D will be decent. Someone tell me how we are going to average even 16 points of offense. oh wow, we scored 20 TDs on offense in 17 games. That’s without defensive or special teams scores. Yeah boy.

Yep. As we saw just last year you can’t tell much from a guy throwing in shorts. Mechanics and arm strength probably.
