Jason LaCanfora: Dave Tepper loves Bryce Young

Jason La Canfora is a joke.

I think it triggered a lot of people on here to jump to conclusions.  Tepper was humbled by the whole Rhule experience IMO and has hired guys that know what they are doing for a reason.  If they draft Young over Stroud it will not be simply because Tepper likes Young even though many will push that narrative.

To me, the most telling comment was when Fitterer said the following:  “Nothing’s too big for him. Like, he can walk into any environment and be in total control. At 21 years old, if I walked into a restaurant, sat around with a bunch of 40, 50-year-old men, it’d be a little intimidating. Instead, he just sat there and asked us questions. We asked him questions. . . . Just a really, really solid person.”  Fitterer also said, "(the way he sees the game) he's at a different level.  He's already at that NFL level..."

In other words, this 21-year old kid can lead veterans. In the non-Madden, real world, the locker room is important, especially for a QB.  He can see the field (process--play point guard) and he is ready to start day 1.  Ultimately, this is Fitterer's decision.  The owner likes Young, some of the coaches prefer Young.  (I am not sure that Reich has a favorite, but I would lean Stroud). 
These comments, if not smokescreen, describe qualities where Young surpasses Stroud.  If all true, Young is the pick.  However, the head coach and QB coach prefer Stroud, then there will be debate.

I think he’s just running with Reich likes Stroud bc he’s always had bigger QBs. He doesn’t know who Reich actually prefers. I don’t think he truly knows who any of them like most. 

He has always had bigger QBs and the results have been mixed.  As a former QB, would he be more impressed with the size of the QB or the leadership and processing speed?  I am asking--I dunno.  I can say that if you spent time with Young, you have to like and admire the guy.  Or did he walk out thinking, "There are middle school QBs bigger than Young?"

From everything I’ve heard from Reich about what he looks for in a QB, elite processing sounds like it’s close to the top along with playmaking ability. Measurables were downplayed by him. I guess we’ll find out soon, but I think there’s a good chance it’s Young.

Nah, dude. Choosing a coach and choosing a QB is not the same. 

Tepper was a new owner still feeling around to find his way. More experienced owners were trying to hire Rhule. Let's just be thankful that Tepper has learned from his mistakes and that the Rhule era is over

I still would ask Tepper who he likes and pick the opposite.   

I still don't trust him.

    • Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.     
    • This post was an error. Oops and sorry for the errors in the previous one. Too slow to edit.   We’ll see what they do.  
    • I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
