Yeeeeah...no. And to put it more directly, bullsh-t. We're doing things the Seahawks way, if anything.

The best thing Tepper can do is imitate Seattle's owner and keep his hands off.

Prepare yourself to be disappointed...

...after decades of success zero chance Big Tepp scraps the Appaloosa Model for the "Seahawks way"...

...hahahaha!!!

It’s funny how people love the Seahawks model.

They were utter trash before they lucked into Wilson and that one good draft.

I don’t want a stupid meddling owner, but I want one that cares.

You watch, Jody Snyder is going to let Pete’s ego run Russell off and that will be it for that team for a long time....and she won’t care.

I think we're overthinking this. Tepper said to his football brain trust, "we need the best QB possible to win". Funny that no one questioned his football acumen when he said Teddy wasn't the answer. Now we question it when he apparently says Watson is? 

A good guess is Tepper said to his brain trust, "get me Watson at all costs" and they're trying to figure it out.

A better guess is that he said so and has bitcoin-mining level computing power behind the analytics to determine what the impacts of that "cost" is, comparing success rates of draft picks, simulating this year's team performance if Watson were subbed in for Teddy, etc.

The best guess is that he, Fitts, and Rhule all agree that Watson is the best get--they're just figuring out the roadmaps to get him and how they still build the team, which is more possible than any of us realize.

Yeah, not that worried.

You've made something like half a dozen plus predictions based on "the Appaloosa Way" as you claim to understand it. None of them have come true, not a single one.

That tells me that either you don't actually know anything about the model or maybe the whole thing is just bullsh-t.

Either way, I can't really put a whole lot of stock in your predictions or analyses.

That's not hard to imagine.

I have yet to see a business, government or other model that can account for or stop the ill effects of the human ego.

Doesn't matter how perfect a system you come up with. If it's run by people, it can be screwed up.

Who does Matt Rhule report to?

I don’t understand why so many people keep this up with Tepper. He has shown no evidence of being “too involved”. He had to set up the business side of the team and just now got the football side in line with a new structure and all pieces in place. He gives his opinion on the team, which is a warm welcome from Richardson who literally never spoke to the public. Speaking of that guy, no one pointed out how terrible he was as an owner until the “Jean day” articles came out and he was forced to sell the team. 
 

 

Oh no I was very anti Richardson for awhile. I got absolutely flamed on this board for it too.

I believe Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer have infinitely better decision making capabilities when it comes to football than David Tepper.

And the good news on that front is that David Tepper seems to understand that.

if we're talking hedge funds or financial stuff, absolutely he's the smartest man in the room. If we're talking football, he's not even close.

I agree with you on part 1 whole-heartedly. I also agree with you one part 3.

It's that part 2 thing that has me worried. I'm beginning to think Tepper may be tired of watching someone else play with his toys.

    • After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem 
    • You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….
    • Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
