I don’t know, I don’t post here often but this thread seems fairly civil so far. I haven’t seen many if any personal attacks.

Albeit, Carolina Chuck hasn’t arrived yet so I guess there’s time.

Well, to be fair, we have already had a poster suggest another poster kill himself and do it quickly. That seems a bit personal attackish.

Hm. I didn’t care for the divisive focus that a lot of his answers displayed, and particularly didn’t care for the “the offer was better” reason. At least lie to us and say it was a because we’re a better fit lol.  But he’s working for an admirable goal, even if the tone is wrong so I support him.  Hope he stays healthy and plays well. 

I’m intrigued by “the offer was better” answer as well.

Was he simply referring to the money; because we sure aren’t paying him a lot.

Or was he referring to the fact that he more than likely would have been in basketball terms the 6th man, coming off the bench to spell Exum and Tartt In San Francisco.

I’ll also say this in regards to the “divisive tone” comment. I picked up on it a little as well and that is where I do disagree with Reid. Cam does a fantastic job at being inclusive in his answers. He was recently asked about how Marlin Briscoe (AFL quarterback) paved the way for African-American quarterbacks. Cam noted that he certainly did but that he also paved the way for athletic quarterbacks and mentioned Wentz, Watson, and Wilson by name. It was a phenomenal answer.

Then figure out a way to weed out unintelligent racist that inhabit this site..  This whole topic was ruined by somebody who wanted a player to just talk football by infatuation on the times when he wasn't..lol

If I had that recipe this place is well down the list of where I would whip it out first.  #confirmationhearings

I would really like to know from people who support this stuff how it's not a distraction. Just like Earl Thomas flipping off the coach. Only difference is they could have traded Thomas. 

I guess its what you make of it?

You think his opinions and beliefs are not shared with others in the locker room?

I loved it.. He was honest and intelligent and had facts to back up his opinion.. He answered every question thrown his way with class and a knowledge of what he was talking about.. Unlike Cam at the superbowl (which he backed off of to many dismay)... Atleast his stance has a real passion and intelligence behind it..

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
