I'll be honest, the media was baiting drama towards the end. Tepper doesn't want to publicly humiliate Rhule more than what he has already done by firing him.

 

I agree. And even though Tepper probably could have handled it better I actually kind of like that he was pissed. At least he cares.

Boy, a lot to unpack there.

He all but admitted the Rhule contract was a mistake.

It sounds like Fitterer's job is in jeopardy.

It sounds like he doesn't believe we have done a good job of managing resources(draft picks, contracts, etc) in pursuit of winning now.

It sounds like we will give Wilks a chance but I don't know if he will be back, regardless.

It sounds like we might be moving players before Nov. 1.

I didn't get the Fitterer angle personally but I suspect that if Wilks doesn't return we may get a new GM and he'd pick the HC.

He could've tried actually answering the questions instead rambling like an idiot, redirecting, restating questions to buy himself more time to come up with a bullshit reply and trying to tell reporters to read their own columns in order to essentially read Tepper's mind.

That dude came across as a completely out of touch asshole over those last few minutes.

Not trying to defend him but someone asked him if we should tank... like as if it wouldnt get him kicked out the NFL if he answered in the affirmative. Not sure what ppl were expecting.

they kept asking the same question which was basically when did you decide you were going to fire Rhule... like 4 questions in a row. 

Think about going to the DMV and them asking you the same question just twice...  and how annoying that is. In this case, its the medias job to get him riled up and to make a mistake. It's ridiculous that the NFL has a policy where players, coaches, staff have to deal with their poo.

 

Like was Erik Armstead dealt with in SF in the offseason. That poo needs to be controlled.

Amazing how some people are able to get this out the press conference, while others are still stuck on, "That rich bastard didn't say anything then got mad and stormed off!"

Media wanted a "tipping point" moment to write about. Tepper didn't want to give them one.

If you listen to what he said, he was pretty critical of the mismanaged resources.

So, the question is, how much responsibility did Fitterer have for that? 

The one thing he didn't do was publicly give Fitterer a vote of confidence, which he had done for Rhule previously. That's not good for Fitterer, IMO.

      Buccaneers sign LB Christian Roseboom

      Don't think it hurts that much. IMO, not much of a dropoff from somebody like Gipson compared to Rozeboom. Regardless, I still think we are looking at an ILB in the first 3 rounds. There are quite a few interesting prospects between Rodriguez, Golday, and Hill Jr. that would be good 2nd round picks if they make it to us (Rodriguez might be a stretch since it seems like teams are falling in love with him). Kyle Louis and Lawson are worth a look also in the 3rd

      FA Splash: Panthers sign Jaelan Phillips EDGE

      I think that is the first goal of pretty much every team. No one seeks to make it in via WC, in August anyway. You take what you can get, but you always set out to win your division.  People look around at their division foes and say okay we can probably expect strong rushing attacks. So we’ll need a stout run D. Mandatory. Etc. We drafted TD basically to spy on Vick. We could do nothing with him up until then. It kind of helped but they were still putting it on us too often for a while. You have to match up to your division.

      This is the goal for this team. It all starts there. Success starts with winning the division every year at bare minimum. Once you do that then you can worry about owning the nfc. Do that then we can talk championships.
