Hello my friends. 

If the FO and the CS (coaching staff) were to stay at an impasse through the draft, with... say Reich and Co wanting CJ Stroud and the FO wanting... say... Bryce Young, who would Tepper side with and break the tie with? Will he side with Reich and say "Stroud is CAR bound?" or will he side with Fitt and say "Young makes me feel young. Pick him."

Agree with ladypanther…Fitt knows what’s best for the team. Get the Head Coach ‘his’ quarterback and let him run ‘his’ system. 
 

Leave the billionaire to his steak and ketchup.

I don’t think Tepper would be the guy to make or necessarily veto a decision.  I think he is there mainly to learn and understand the evaluation process (hate that word). I think if there is a “tie” he would help mediate the decision but I don’t think it will come down to a trivial fact like “ I liked how Bryce tied his shoe laces” so we are going with him.
 

I know there is a desire to label him as the meddling owner but I don’t think that is the case here.

What Frank and Thomas Brown want is what we’ll get.

Yeah Fitt did his job getting all the vet skills guys in FA, and keeping the O-line intact.  Let Frank and Thomas take the guy that can run their offense. I also agree that since Tepper cannot be fired, he shouldn't be making any tie breaker decisions because he'll just pick his favorite, which if it's the wrong guy can totally screw up the playbook

I think what’s happening is that Bryce is currently leading. At least it was before Reich & especially McCown was hired.

Scott & Tepper have been wanting Bryce before they hired Frank.

Bryce is who Scott describes every time he is asked. When Thomas was hired & interviewed, u can tell he described Bryce because that’s who has been the favorite in the building.

they want a point guard. Someone who can be super man when they need to make a play on 3rd down.
 

They want fast processor before & after the snap. That’s a Bryce strong attributes.


Scott’s says throwing & accuracy is not the only thing they are looking for. This is the 1 thing  CJ is ahead of Bryce. 

but I think McCown is making a push for stroud. When breaking down videos before being hired, he picked CJ best game vs GA. There is hardly anything to critic on that game. He clearly loves the kid both on & off the field. Nothing wrong with that. 
 

I’m not sure if Reich strongly leans anywhere yet. He tried to tell ppl not to label him with QB preference. That he had a high grade on Russell in his latest presser. But at the combine presser he stated size was a concern. CJ fits the mold of who he has coached in the past however. Lastly, there are reports he is the one who is high on AR as well. 

i think Caldwell is the wild card. His opinion will be big but I’ve no idea where he leans. 

In conclusion, I think Bryce is the current favorite but if McCown is pushing for CJ. 
Tepper likely sides with the majority.

I think Tepper is along for the ride and just having fun with the process.  Not very often (hopefully) that your team will be picking #1 to get the franchise QB. 

 

I think a lot of fans ASSUME Tepper is some control freak with his hands on everything. There is probably some truth about him pushing us to be aggressive.  And I do think this team has been aggressive AF and i feel that has embodied the Tepper persona. GO GET IT. HAVE SOME BALLS. NO RISK IT NO BUISCUIT. 

 

that said, I think Tepper has had his persona on the team manifest in the way of giving that green light and opening his wallet. 

 

one of the things that i loved about Tepper from the beginning is that I truly believe he wants his team to be the best.  wants the best this, best that, wants to win. idc if its to float his ego. Hes opened that wallet to pay for the best coaching staff in franchise history.  he threw the fugin bag an MFs. 

 

but at the end of the day, I think hes smart enough to step out of the way and ket the football people make football decisions. We don't have a bunch of rinky dink football minds in the building.  i don't believe he assembled a room full of smart football people that can collectively come to a decision just to over ride them. He didnt buy a calculator just to do the math by hand. hes going to let these people cook. I really believe that. yes, his agressive imprints are all over this team.  But i think its through mindset, a green light, and an open wallet.  Go get the best coaching staff.  go get the best QB in the draft. I love this MF dude.  he got a lot of heat but i always stood by him cause i saw this quality in him. I think fan make assumptions, or project what they would do if they owned a team, which would be a tyrant thats stupid and ignores cues.  well the average fan cant even reach around to wipe their own ass.

Not sure what u r talking abt…Didn’t predict anything. I’m not Nostradamus. Lol. 
stating Whr I think is each faction stands & Whr Tepper would lean in my opinion (with the majority).

if that’s prediction in ur opinion, I’m fine with that.

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control  Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst roster in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most voliate franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete diaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.

      I think he has started to build a culture here.  I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense.  I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level.  Based on our roster talent,  we werent underachieving,  we were just bad.
