His interlude of laughter and then "regardless of what people may say about me" seemed out of place and could indicate what's on his mind. Struck me as an odd thing to say.

What that clearly told me is that he's aware a pretty solid percentage of the fanbase thinks he's a dipsh-t.

So, numerically, what do you estimate "a solid percentage" to be?

FYI, currently ~2,100 PSL-linked seats are for sale -- this out of a base of ~62,000 seats controlled by PSL holders...

...for those keeping score at home that's 3.4%.

I'd estimate it to be higher than your IQ, but probably still only double digits.

Put a number to it...

...remember, you said "a pretty solid percentage of the fanbase thinks he's a dipsh-t"...

...please quantify numerically 🤔

As expected... 🤦‍♂️🤣

Sure, given that most people are intellectually able to understand expressions like that.

You think that by asking people to be more specific (when most understand they don't need to be) it somehow helps your argument and/or makes you look smarter.

The reality is that you come off looking more and more like Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy.

But that's not really a surprise 😐

3.4% of Tepper's PSL partners are sellers of their tickets...

...in no way does that constitute "a solid percentage", nor is it even remotely close to being outside the normal historical boundaries for this metric...

...step outside your minuscule echo chamber bro and join the real world 👊.

that was a waste of 32 minutes.

Not really. At least we now know that apparently Tepper has trust in Fitterer and is optimistic about the new injection of experienced staff. We also know that he is outwardly supportive of Rhule even though he mentioned him as somewhat of an afterthought on a few occasions. We know that Tepper is more patient than many thought, and that perhaps all the rumors of Rhule's seat being sizzling hot were perhaps exaggerated.

Siz did it crush your soul to hear Tepper call himself stupid in public for the second time?

I respected it.

I'd actually agree.

The primary things that I took away from this presser were...

- Scott Fitterer may indeed have supplanted Matt Rhule as the guy with Tepper's ear

- Tepper definitely seems to understand that he's not very popular among the fans

- It might (might) be starting to dawn on him that he's done some stupid sh-t

I will say that even if he understands nothing else, if he does at least realize that he has the lowest football IQ in the room, that's a start.

Yeah... None of that means jack sh-t.

I get that you think it does, but it doesn't.

The fanbase is way more than just PSL owners, and looking up stats about what people are doing with their PSLs doesn't give you any strong arguments.

Likewise, consistently high-fiving yourself as if you just won every debate by posting some obscure, meaningless fact when in reality most people are just shaking their heads and rolling your eyes is delusional.

You'd really be a lot better off if you'd stop fooling yourself, quit acting like you're some kind of guru and just accept that you're a casual fan with no special knowledge... exactly like the majority of people here.

You've been told this plenty of times, but you refuse to listen.

As long as that keeps up, people are gonna keep treating you like they do now.

    • at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got.  you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better. 
    • I completely agree. Guys like David Carr and Darnold have all the potential in the world but really could have benefited from sitting for a few years.
    • I will go to my grave thinking that some qbs simply need to sit for a spell and not start immediately and that having multiple head coaches and oc's in the first few years is a sure fire way to ruin a qb.  Having to learn new schemes, new terminology etc while having to learn to lead in the nfl is simply too much for the majority of qbs.  I know it sucks for the fans but look at KC situation.  That had a great vet mentor to mahoomes and simply let him learn with absolutely no pressure in his rookie year.  Not sure why more teams are not following that model.
