obviously not but for the most part when you draft a qb in the first you want a vet to help guide them.  See Josh allen and derek anderson.  I dont think  you will find many examples of first round pick getting backed up by a qb drafted the previous year.  Especially a developmental one and coming off serious injury.  Look what happened to mond this year

I could see there being 3 QBs bc of this EXACT situation.

yes he will. Cheap backup QB.

I think he stays. It’s basically like grabbing another rookie QB in the 3rd this year to compete/backup the first rounder. Kind of like a RG3, Cousins scenario. He will at least hang around until final cuts to try to stash on the practice squad IMO.

but you know he would bring in someone... thats crazy talk if you think otherwise. He hasnt shown any behavior for either the MLS or NFL team on making decisions in a silo. He even bragged that he hires experts to make decisions. 

Why didn't he do it last time?

Why did he specifically state that he didn't need to?

Im confused what you are asking me here... Are you asking me what were Tepper's internal thoughts when he did lean on experts to help him find a HC/Manager? 

Unless you're framing Marty Hurney and Steven Drummond as "experts", he didn't.

And when asked about it, Tepper said he didn't need help from anybody outside the organization.

“It’ll be primarily by the organization,” he said. “That doesn’t mean I won’t have a couple people I will listen to. If I talk to a couple of my fellow owners about different things, it doesn’t mean I won’t do that. But if you’re asking about formally hiring a search firm, I don’t think we’ll be formally hiring a search firm. That doesn’t mean I won’t talk to people who may be at search firms, that doesn’t mean I won’t talk to other owners.”

- In regards to his first hiring process.

Sounds like he still went outside the organization for references and suggestions.

you need to watch one of his games, get back to us after

I like Stroud, but it isn’t that simple. His team always has the most talent on the field. 
 

So they need to watch a game, but focus on his mechanics, pocket movement, release, ball placement, off platform throws and their accuracy, ability to handle a 1v1 free rusher, etc. 

 

You may have had that in mind but maybe the other person doesn’t.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
