I can’t believe Tepper signed off on signing Rhule to a 7 year contract. That should’ve been a red flag letting us all know that Tepper was in over his head.

I've said it before, but Tepper for a lot of his career was basically able to just "big ball" his way through everything.

I think he genuinely believed he'd come here, shake things up by doing them differently, "show em how it's done" and have the world bow down to him as the best NFL owner ever.

Instead, he's in contention for a spot as one of the worst. And I'm not sure how somebody with an ego like his handles that.

Think you got it backwards. Most fans only care when the team is entertaining. It's the diehards like us who follow regardless.

But either way, all boycotting means is more opposing fans at games like we see already.

Not all diehard fans come onto forums like this is sort of what I was trying to say and some fans even if they aren't as intimately into the off-season moves and things like that will attend anyways because it's something to do on a Sunday. The mindset of "Sticking with a team through the tough times" is prevalent in fans that might not look online or even be aware of this sort of action taking place at all. 

We can definitely put a dent in Tepper's profit margins and I'm not saying that boycotts are completely ineffective but that there will always be a group of fans who are attending games and of course as you mentioned opposing fans will also buy tickets and fill the stadium and ultimately I don't think it'd be enough to make the team unprofitable which would be the only real scenario in which Tepper sells. Making less money and losing money are two entirely different things and I just don't really think it's feasible for a modern NFL franchise to be bleeding money, let alone for any significant period of time. Even the Chargers bounced back in terms of revenue last year after essentially telling their entire established market and fanbase to eat poo.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
