Will Tepper help Rhule coach too?🙄

The owner should never be involved in those kinds of decisions.

Tomorrow morning in Matt Rhule's office (Tep on the right, Fitt on the left)

See the source image

 

Nothing said ever alludes to us being a well run org.  Rhule gets final say....but the GM had to go out of his way to say how the entire staff will be involved and the owner too? lol.

Oh man it’s almost as if there is a reason this team has won only 22 out of 64 games since Tepper bought the team!

Well at least we learned our lesson after blowing $54M and 2nd, 3rd (lost Bradberry’s comp), 4th and 6th picks to get the studs known as Teddy and Sam.

Why we didn’t wait until after the draft to get Sam, I’ll never understand. The only “competition” was supposedly SF and they made their trade up for Lance the week before our trade. Let them take Wilson and let the other QBs get drafted and then get Sam on the cheap.

Sucks that we have to live through 5 win seasons as Tepper has to learn that Marty was not great, Rhule has to learn that Brady isn’t bringing LSU players with him among other things he still needs to learn and that you don’t have to blow your entire wad when you are the only game in town.

I thought at the time that our original plan was to draft a QB, but when the 9ers jumped the line, we weren't sure who would be left by the time it got to us.  They wanted to be free to do bpa and rushed a solution at QB before the draft.  In reality, they would have been better off just sitting tight with Teddy.

People are gonna be looking for a "gotcha" moment but there really wasn't one.

The only thing I heard that people could potentially pick up on was a dismissive comment where he said something like he doesn't really care about people's negative opinions.

And I am glad he can put blinders on to that $hit. If the great ones listened to all the negatives, they would not have been great. He will make some mistakes, but I think he will be a winner here.

Isn't that kinda how Newton was too, though?

Sure, but Newton did care what the fans thought. I suspect Baker does also. The big difference--kind of of off note--may be that Newton was willing to take responsibility for his failings and the team's failings (even when he wasn't necessarily responsible).

Wow for all the people who personally hate Sam Darnold for whatever reason I dont get it.  He seems like a really good dude even if hes not a good nfl qb.  To reach out to Mayfield the day after he signed and help him get in contact with all the other players and stuff because he wants to win first and foremost is pretty impressive.

Well for 18 million dollars guaranteed that's the least he can do.

We're shopping him.  I don't think there will be any takers, but if we eat enough of the salary who knows.  We got picks for Allen, Teddy, and even Greg Little.  I would not be surprised if he's gone before the season.

    • I find it funny those who continue to hate on Bryce based on his rookie year when he had zero weapons or offensive line have a problem with those of us projecting his career from the 8-9 games where he played like a top 10 QB and made more big time throws during that period than any other QB.  The stats may bot have been there in terms of yards or TD passes but that’s coming as the roster improves. For those who think physical traits can overcome roster deficiencies we all witnessed how Mahomes looked under pressure that Bryce faced for most of his rookie year, we saw what happened with Stroud in similar circumstances.  None of us were creating posts proclaiming Bryce as the next Brady but we can’t just sit idly while thread after thread is created continuing with the  anti Bryce tropes  instead of supporting him and just letting him continue to develop.     
    • To me Bryce's ceiling is his backup, Andy Dalton, in his prime.  Sure, he may get us some winning seasons and may even get us to the playoffs on occasion, but with an early exit.  To me he doesn't have what it takes to be elite and it takes an elite QB to consistently get deep into the playoffs.  He's not Jackson, he's not Mahomes and he's not even Allen.  In an organization like Philly, he possibly could have what it takes to make a deep run, but let's face it...Philly is well oiled machine and and we are a GMC Grimlin.
    • If he was he would still be in the league.... Cam never learned to play QB without relying on his athletism and rocket arm.
