Just feels like this every day now, ever since Tepper took over.

I have to admit to myself that I haven't been very happy with much of anything since he took over. Firing Hurney (a year too late) was a positive but most everything else seems like it's been a step down from everything previous. Hell, even the coach is a step down from the previous coach even though I was not a huge fan of the previous coach at the end of his tenure but somehow Tepper found a way to find someone a huge step down from Rivera.

I didn't expect him to be some lovable billionaire that would embrace the QC and team, but man, it feels like every move he's made has been the wrong one.  Hurney, Rivera, Cam, Rhule, QBs, the whole coaching search in general, the whole in-game experience side, strange stadium renovations, organizational moves.  

It has never felt like there was a strong framework put in place to execute when he got here and has just been winging it because it's his team and his prerogative.  It's a very cold place inside this fandome.

Tepper has made it abundantly clear that he is clueless.

I remember him telling us that what he cared about most was winning.

Practice has told us that what he cares about most is his ego.

Yep. This 100%. The only reason he actually cares about losing is said ego.

Yet his ego wouldn't let him fire Rhule after signing him to that foolish contract.

I think it was his ego that hired Rhule in the first place.

He had to make a big splashy move and do something different than everyone else was doing just to draw attention to himself. That way when he succeeded where others had failed, he could thump his chest and point to how great he was.

Except he didn't...because he isn't.

He may, in fact, be one of the dumbest owners in the league.

I've said before that Tepper is used to just being able to "big ball" his way through everything. He probably thought he could do that in the NFL too.

Not going that well so far...

    • the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.
    • I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
    • There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
