With Tepper still doing the hiring, it doesn’t matter. He’s way in over his head and has absolutely no clue what he is doing.

He’s like that business owner that’s really good friends or family with the investors or whatever and was given the keys to take over despite zero experience. Normally, you ignore what he says to keep things productive having a lot of experience. But every once in while he comes in an makes this huge, batshit weird, off the wall decision to flex, even though everyone knows he has no idea what his decision will mean and for the next few months you scramble just trying to keep poo from hitting the fan and finding/maintaining workarounds of said horrible decision until his next blunder. Meanwhile he takes all the credit for things running smoothly and even excelled while you’ve done essentially the opposite covering up his dumbshit behind his back. We have all had this happen in some degree.

Except Tepper is the owner and no one is overriding him and but like said owner, he isn’t even smart enough to realize how dumb and out of touch his mentality is. And no one will tell him otherwise not because he doesn’t welcome it but because he hires very like minded individuals whose are full of poo and ‘sway you’ (see Rhule). Tepper says he likes it when people disagree but then hires people who think like him. Weird isn’t it? 

Tepper would benefit from actually hiring someone he really hates and disagrees with.

I would doubt and be extremely skeptical of anyone Tepper would hire because it would be done for all the wrong reasons, by someone completely unqualified.

Tepper said in his apology your that he was going to explore outside council for his next hire.  So we got that going for us.

Really? Must’ve missed that. I thought he said he was to remain the only one making the decisions with the help of the GM (who he would hire).

But if true, it’s huge, and I am much more positive for the future.

He definitely said it. I’ll even tag in @Mr. Scot here because we discussed it in a thread during that time.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
