Prediction: time for Tepper to meddle

Everyone has been so worried about Tepper being one of those hands on owners that meddles in the day to day operations, a Jerry Jones or Snyder type.

If anything he has been the opposite, he has been more patient than most expected and he has seemed to stay out of the day to day operations and has let the "football people" make football decisions.

I think we have reached a point were he might set some directives.  Time to find a QB, enough with the experiments, everything we do from this point on should be for one goal, to find a franchise QB.

I'm not saying he will pick the actual QB in the draft but I think there will be a lot of pressure to draft a QB this year, which can be dangerous when you start talking yourself into someone, but we have reached that point.  Like I said he might not pick the actual QB but I could see a lot of people in the organization hoping it is Sam Howell.  Being a Carolina guy would be good for the fan base.

Lets be honest, best thing that could happen to this organization this year is to not win another game.  In reality that probably wont happen, defense is too good and there are some really bad teams in the league this year.  Drafting in that 6-10 range instead of that 12-16 range would be huge though, and even then might have to do a trade up.  I could see anyone on the roster being available as part of a trade up along with picks.

Bull. He's the one driving the QB at any cost, even if they're terrible bus. 

I don't think so.  I think Rhule, Hurney, Fitt, someone convinced him they coudl win now with these guys.

Tepper wants his Roethlisberger.  Franchise guy that you draft and he plays for you for 15 years.  A QB that you helps you win, not one that you win in spite of.

I’m ready for the meddling when it comes to finding a QB.

Agreed. We could have possibly had fields and just kept our 2nd and 4th picks which was very important to me. To top it off NOT paying sam darnold 18 million dollars next seasons. Crazy how many dominos dont fall with a simple change of direction.

This makes no sense.  Whos job was it then? 

 

It was his job and he did it very poorly. Keeping Hurney as a crutch and hiring Rhule. All I was saying is that expecting Tepper to meddle in a positive way is a bit hopeful for me at this point.

    • 4 AZ plan: -Stay at 4 and take MHJ. -Trade back to 6 with NYG or NE (* see ) and still take MHJ. 5 LAC plan: -Stay at 5 and take OT Alt (or I’m hearing maybe Latham over Alt?). -Move back to 11 and take OT Latham. 6 NYG plan: -Plan A: Want to move up to 3 for Maye. Don’t think NE will agree to move, but that’s what I hear NYG wants most. -Plan B: Odunze. I’m told they’re not gonna risk another OBJ/K. Toney situation. 7 TEN plan: -Take OT Alt if he’s still available (which could happen if LAC moved out of 5 and a QB was taken there. -Take OT Latham ***ATL at 8 and CHI at 9 could have multiple offers to trade back when they get on the clock, as teams behind them could be jockeying to move up for one of these guys: QB McCarthy, WR Nabers or Odunze, OT Alt or Latham, and TE Bowers. 8 ATL plan: -Take the top DEF player in the draft (EDGE Turner or DT Murphy) -Trade back a few spots and still take best available DEF player (EDGE Turner, DT Murphy or CB Arnold) 9 CHI plan: -Trade back and recover picks (only four picks this year). -DT Murphy II or best-available WR/EDGE/OT would be priorities after trade down. -Only caveat; CHI could stick at pick No. 9 if Odunze or Nabers falls. 10 NYJ plan: -Best available weapon for Aaron (Nabers, Odunze, Bowers) or LOT protector Aaron (insurance in ‘24 and long-term). -Can’t rule out a slight trade up (for a weapon) or a trade down (probably would wind up with OT at that point). 11 MIN plan: -Trade up for Maye -Trade up for JJ (but only if it doesn’t require breaking the bank with draft picks!) *I hear there’s a real cost-analysis going on in Minn… is it better to keep picks and land Penix at 11 or to pay a haul to move up for JJ. Very interesting debate! -Stay home at 11 and hope JJ falls. If not, take Penix. Finally, Saints, Rams, Steelers and Eagles are making a LOT of calls about moving up (NO = OT). And teams I’m hearing have interest in potentially moving up for TE Brock Bowers: -IND -JAX
    • My preference would be to move back 10 spots and pick up another 3rd.   Then I go 39. LB (wilson) 43. WR (leggett) 64. Edge (kneeland) 80. RB (benson) 101. TE (sinnott or wiley) 141. CB 142. C 240. WR (mcCringleberry)
