Tepper the biggest question unanswered?

Listening to Voth and Henson's podcast, I'm actually starting to get just the opposite impression.

Tepper talks heavily about community involvement and such. That usually goes hand in hand with players doing good things and being seen as role models.

Everybody expects Tepper to have high performance standards.  I'm now wondering if the character standards are gonna be high as well.

We won't change much until our front office changes.  Once the organization has a "Temper" vibe then we will see.  That could be as soon as 1 off season or possibly multiple.  Eventually we will begin making moves with Teppers guys and then we will see what his football brain trust's style is.  Its too easy to say "like the steelers."  Whats hard is accomplishing the success.

This topic has always confused me. How can a team that has been as been near the top of the league in player suspensions over the last decade (and more) be filled with choir boys? Mostly PED stuff but anyone that has followed this team over the last 20+ years would know that there is a very checkered past.  They have drafted and/or signed plenty of players over the years with character question marks. It's not like they are the bad boys of the NFL and I'm not trying to imply that but this organization has never been filled with choir boys.

JR/Panthers got burned by by Carruth.  I can certainly understand how something like that going down would make you shy away from any and all "question marks" that players my possess. 

 

 

Did Carruth have any flags coming out?

He has been heavily critical of Trump's lack of philanthropy and also touched on charitable work in the commencement speech so I suspect he is going to have the organization involved in quite a bit of community charitable works. That does tend go along with high character players but I wonder what his personal standards are going to be. Someone that had weed charges in college doesn't imply they are of poor character, IMO. Maybe he will be a little less unforgiving about some of the mistakes these guys make in HS or college.

I hope so. Not every player that has some issues are necessarily bad guys. Sometimes poo just happens.

Richardson and Tepper are from different generations.  I think that will have an affect on how the two will value character and image differently.  I doubt we become a team known for taking chances on guys that fall in the draft due to "off the field issues," but I can certainly see cases where Tep could be less likely to write a guy off before JR would.

I think the bigger change would be in the office.  Of the few comments he has made to date one of his points have been about gender and race equality.  Could we see more women in the front office?

If we do the usual suspects here will make the usual sexist comments.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
