Tepper doesn't believe in using outside consultants.

He made that quite clear during the hiring of both Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer.

Right. Which is why I said we have to hope that he gets over himself. For rational people, seeing this straight trash and clusterfug on the field as a result of one’s own choice at least encourages a bit of thought/change.

Will it for Tepper? I don’t know but if it doesn’t, it really doesn’t matter what happens, this franchise is doomed.

Kinda wondering if he would like to rethink that position right about now.  He's proven he doesn't have any idea what he is doing and his instincts are almost exactly wrong.

But, it is his team to screw up as he wishes.

Also, if I remember correctly JR had the same feelings on consultants for 20 years and then changed his tune because he was surrounded by idiots. Hopefully Tepper catches on to the fact he’s not qualified and is here because he’s rich. And yes that will probably prove to be a challenge for him.

Given his ego, kinda doubt it.

See above.

Honestly, having him leave the job to Fitterer and Morgan is probably the best option right now.

It's Hurney all over again.

Blamed EVERYTHING on John Fox, ran him out of town, and then left that dumfug Hurney as GM.

Why keep a holdover, one of the most important pieces at that, of the previous regime when that regime was a total and complete disaster.

Just clean house, new GM, new coaching staff. Clean slate for a new regime.

Anyone that thinks Fitt is worth keeping go look at that Ian Thomas contract. Go look at how we gave up nearly an entire draft worth of picks for Mayfield, Darnold and Henderson.

Do people think good GM candidates are gonna be attracted to a team whose owner fired the last guy even though he didn't have power over the roster? 🤔

Tepper gives an unqualified college coach full roster control over a seasoned NFL personnel guy, then fires the personnel guy despite forcing him to work under the unqualified college coach, and we're expecting other people to want to work for this owner?

Yes.

There are only 32 NFL GM jobs in the world, any given year they are only a few open. 
Will an established, proven GM, who is currently in a GM position be willing to jump ship, maybe not, but there be plenty of “candidates” that will be willing to work for Tepper.

Lack of candidates will not be the issue, choosing the right one will be the issue, but that is the case for any HC or GM hire.  If there was a proven formula every ram would have a good HC and GM.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
