I don't mind being in on every deal. "In on every deal" doesn't necessarily mean actively competing in every deal. "In" could simply mean reaching out to check the temperature. It never hurts to ask.

My understanding of it is just that we'll check on all possible options.

I'm fine with that. I actually think it's good.

That kinda bothered me too.  Not sure it was meant literally--but who knows?  We know they went after Stafford hard, no signs we went after Wentz (unless I missed a memo).  No rumblings about the possibility of Minshew, etc.I really do not know what that meant.

"In on every deal" does not literally mean we will try to trade for every single player who comes available.  It simply means that we will not be shy making trades for positions of need that can upgrade our team.  Like, we're not going to try and trade for another QB if/when we land our new QB of the future.  We're probably not in the market for any WR's that come available via trade right now.  Use your heads, people.

I do. Plenty of deals to know better up front. Again, why ask if it's it's bad deal from 10k feet up? what's the direction, game plan for this team build? First come good enough approach? Just a bad moto period. Be active and be smart and know when to say he'll no thank you.

What's the 90 seconds it would take to pick up the phone and make a call?

Uhhhhhh....since 1995?

Ah, so you don't think some vitriol is needed toward this team from a lifelong fan?

How many winning seasons have we had in this 25 year journey?

This isn't being fickle, it's calling the owner and team out deservingly.

Guess you liked what you have seen the last 3 years?

Much of what we have seen the last 3 years is Tepper and company digging the team out of the massive hole that Richardson/Hurney/Rivera left us in.  There have been sweeping changes up and down the organization, and we only now have Teppers chosen GM in place.  I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt right now.  Things seem to be headed in the right direction, and we do not look anything like the team that the previous regime created.  As im sure you are aware, these things take time.

I would say Tepper has been owner long enough that he deserves to be evaluated on his performance.

Again though, my hope is that he's learned from his mistakes.

Agreed.

I'm not going to give someone 5 years to clean up a mess...especially when he should have understood the process better after being part of the ownership group of the Steelers.

Mistake after mistake after mistake....nah, I'm out until proven otherwise.

Even with bringing in a new GM...he still forced said new GM to accept "his" coach.  Maybe this trend is the right one, but that's not a recipe that I'd like to start with.

I agree Hurney should've been gone before last year. It was a very odd sight to have him there. I realize last season was an awkward thing for all organizations, but it seemed even more so in our front office.

Should've let Hurney and Rivera both go at the same time if not at the end of the season. Could've still had his guy outlined (Rhule) and hired a new GM to make it happen, but they way everything played out made things seem way off.

It seems to be a weird structure of football operations, but that could be a misconception due to just how all the moves have corresponded.  Gotta give it a bit to marinate, before I jump to any conclusions. Also, very happy to not have Hurney at GM anymore.

Proof in some cases he is not skilled or knowledgeable enough to have that job?

In implies involved. Asking a 90 second question isn't in, its seeing if you want in. It's a dumb moto and horrific way to proceed as GM.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
