Per various reports, Tepper asks questions about the process and tries to make sure everybody is on the same page.

Those things are fine.

Overriding the people that you hired to do the job is not.

lol

You are so literal about everything.

If some GM that you aren't sure about, for example Hurney, is about to go off and sell the farm for somebody.  You stop it.  

You might fire him later, but there is nothing wrong with pulling rank.

Doesn't take much evaluation to look at a guy like Deshaun Watson and say "Hey, that guy's pretty good. Let's go get him." Draft prospects are a very different ballgame. Hell, everyone sucks at evaluating them. Some just suck worse than others.

It's not as simple as just saying "let's go get him". You also have to decide what resources you're willing to give up to do so.

If the football people don't think it's worth it, do you want the owner to override them?

If you're the guy with the least amount of football knowledge in the room, telling the guys who know better than you what to do is stupid.

This ^

Owners set direction, and honestly most owners are heavily involved in huge trades and top picks, especially if QBs are involved.  

What you don't want is some owner who doesn't know anything about player evaluation treating it as his fantasy team and making all of the draft picks, but there is no indication that Tepper is that.

If Darnold turns out the way I think, Rhule and company might be hoping it happens at some point because it can't keep being their fault they strike out on QBs.

Rodgers isn't coming to the NFC

would I take a 2 year run with Aaron Rodgers?  Sure. 

He has been to the post season 8 of the last 10 seasons.  One of the two that he didn't he was hurt and only played 7 games.    So basically, if he plays...you go to the postseason. 

And generally when Rodgers goes to the playoffs, you aren't one and done.   And Green Bay's roster around Rodgers hasn't been good.  So the argument we aren't built for Rodgers doesn't really fly....given GB hasn't been build for Rodgers to compete. 

So would I take him? Sure.  But it isn't realistic.   Better odds to win a Super Bowl renting Rodgers than whatever Rhule builds without him IMO.

But if your philosophy is "coach, GM, and QB" and they keep bringing you trash at QB at some point you either get more involved in that QB input or you find new solutions at coach and GM.

You have, as long as I've seen you post on here, been dead set against owner interference.

Are you now in favor of it if it gets the player you want?

(or more specifically, gets us away from the player you didn't want)

football knowledge isn't the same as setting the direction for a organization.

That's the kind of dumbsh-t semantics argument I expect from somebody like Sizzlebuzz.

Football decisions should be made by football people for football reasons.

here again, you are thinking too black and white.

We aren't talking about the owner doing player evaluation, but if an owner comes in and gives the coach a 6 year deal and says build the team for long term success that is ok.  Our moves last year were not long term anything.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
