Tepper going crazy on Ron after 9ers. Did it happen

I don't see that happening from Tepper. I suspect they likely had a meeting of sorts at some point thereafter Mon or Tues.

It's Tepper's show and he does not strike me the least little bit as the Jerry Jones type.

Plus Ron knows the deal. He is trying every maneuver possible to salvage the season and his job. 

Let's be honest, his defense is just too damn porous.  I am sure Rivera, Hurney and Tepper addressed all of this after last season. I give Ron and Hurney credit for the massive changes made. I think Tepper realizes the gaping holes with our roster.

Going nuclear is not what I would associate with Tepper's disposition. He is quite measured and analytical.

I do believe this however, the man will move swiftly with change.

I know people who worked at Goldman with Tepper....

....trust me when I tell you "going nuclear" is in his personal playbook.

I have no details on the situation with Ron, and certainly don't think "going nuclear" is a regular happening --- but it's definitely in the playbook.

It's hard for me to imagine Tepper going crazy. He seems even tempered and more intellectual than emotional, but what fan would know much of anything about his personality anyway. I can't think of any person who enjoys being embarrassed. 

we often make the mistake because we see some person talk on TV that we actually know what they are about...

public personas are just that.   we do it all the time w/ players and celebrities.  Tepper is a local celebrity.

I remember hearing a story about Tepper throwing a breast implant at one of his employees while going nuclear. Like most self-made men he has a low tolerance for failure. 

Hard to build our brand when we're getting our poo pushed in like that.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
