"If Cam’s healthy, he’s an elite player. So we all hope Cam’s healthy. And people will use an elite player because there just aren’t that many elite players in the league.” This is good (fascinating on analytics too)

“I didn’t come in there and just buy a team, [thinking I knew what I was doing],” he said. “I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. My greatest strength—my greatest strength—is knowing how stupid I am and what I don’t know. I wanted to figure out what was going on and have a better idea of what should make a successful organization.”

...and some huddlers still want to question this guy and give advice on what decisions he should make.  i have zero doubt he will make this a winning organization in time.

great read, thanks for posting, OP

Tepper didn’t directly look at a camera and say “Cam you’re our only hope 10 year extension” so clearly he is already gone from the team and Tepper can’t wait to boot him out

two threads died to discuss "insider" information LARPs.  this is straight from the horse's mouth and is right in line with what all the level-headed posters were saying - @WoahW @micnificent28 @MechaZain @mjligon

“Cam’s future is going to largely be up to how good he feels,” Tepper said. “That’s first. It’s actually an interesting question to me when there’s a lot of speculation on this because there should be no speculation on Cam one way or the other. If Cam’s healthy, he’s an elite player. So we all hope Cam’s healthy. And people will use an elite player because there just aren’t that many elite players in the league.

It’s almost like taking things with a grain of salt and knowing anything could happen makes the most sense

Really good find @TheSpecialJuan.

he maintained ambiguity in with me how the next head coach, incumbent GM Marty Hurney and a new personnel executive-to-be-hired would fall on the flow chart.

 Turns out, he will make one hire, with a title to be established later. 

Mr. Tepper, why did you keep Ron and Marty after 2018?

“I’d say the first year was total learning, the second year, getting a deeper understanding in figuring things out.”

We yeah we all want a healthy Cam but he's still injured 3 out if 4 years now. His foot surgery want be fully healed till Traing camp.

Every single thread seems to be derailed by how one feels about Cam.

Knock off the pissing match, kids, and keep it on topic.

Pretty much. Tepper doesn't actually say anything new about Newton here either. it's just the same stuff we've already heard put a different way.

There are way more interesting things in this article than just that.

Lol thanks mods. 

[rayzor]

I cleaned up the off topic pissing match.
