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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
