People respected Jim Brown and Ali and a nation wanted to watch them. Why because they were great players. Let's not forget Ali was actually stripped of his title fight a war that was killing millions of people. Kaps fighting for the drug dealers and criminals while ignoring the people getting killed by those people. You know the innocent people. So don't compare great people to Kap. 

Kap is fighting for the drug dealer? Wtf are you talking about?

Then you didn't watch the presser.  He only answered the questions he was asked.

He talked football when the media asked football questions.  He only talked about Kap and protesting when they asked him that.  

The media obviously had an agenda which is why they asked so many questions about his protest history, Kap, and his collusion case.  

The dude said absolutely nothing bad or divisive.  All he said was he wants to help people that are growing up similar to them have a better life.  Why would that bother anyone?

 

 

Agenda? They simply asked questions they thought people would be interested in and it included football related questions and non football related questions. Their agenda was to ask interesting questions.

he's a man from Louisiana playing in Carolina, why would he be asked about Chicago? what is that supposed to even mean?

He's black, he should answer for all black crime.    If black people are killing each other, why does it matter if police kill them too??!

 

/sarcasm. 

 

I guess that was his [stupid] point.

They asked him the same question about 5 times hoping for a different answer.

Tons of people being killed in Chicago. Manly black people. It was a valid question when talking about social justice.

    • 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
