Why does David Tepper gravitate to NFL outsiders?

You obviously don't remember the amount of flack McAdoo caught for benching Eli Manning and ruining his iron man streak. McAdoo became a pariah. 

Actually I lived in Manhattan when it happened and 100% agree it was a laughable decision (because Geno is worse than Silver Platter Sam)...

...but you are wildly overstating the long-term ramifications of that decision...

...obviously because it's a convenient fantasy for the Gone Guys™...

McAdoo didn't just take 2 years off by choice. He was interviewing.

Only because it was a box he needed to check in order to keep collecting his full paycheck from the Giants for the final 2-years of his contract.  

Educate yourself on the "mitigation" offset-provisions in NFL coaching contracts...

...then, maybe, you will understand...

...maybe.

Bro,I just showed you a quote that showed how freaking grateful he was to get another coaching opportunity with the freaking god awful Jaguars and you can’t get it through your head no one wanted to hire this guy. But oh I guess it’s all just a coincidence and he didn’t really want to coach….he broke up with the Giants. 😉

If you could collect full-pay from your Giants Head Ball Coach contract...

...all while sitting on the beach and not coaching QB's for some sh*t franchise...

...what would you do?

Again, "bro", go educate yourself on the mitigation/offset language in NFL Head Ball Coach contracts 🤦‍♂️

Even IF you’re right, and Ben McAdoo was doing the bare minimum to collect a residual paycheck, why couldn’t he get a coordinator job until now? His first job after his “hiatus” is QB coach of the 2020 Jaguars who finished 1-15, then a pity job with his old mentor Mike McCarthy as a consultant on the Cowboys staff.

No one worth a sh*t wanted McAdoo. Even the PANTHERS didn’t want this guy in 2020 and 2021 when they interviewed him for the QB coach position. 

So what is your point here? You don’t have one other than to try and prove McAdoo intentionally took 2 years off. He’s a sh*t hire.

🤦‍♂️

There are only 32 of them…a small % of those turnover every year…then factor in competition & cultural-fit…

…McAdoo nailed it in very short order, that much is clear.  

You should probably 🚨ABANDON SHIP💥🛥 🚨and post up on a deserted 🏝 pal 😎🤣👌

    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
    • Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
