Yup he believed in building the defense and letting cam play hero ball but we can’t act like Cam didn’t have a good to great supporting cast his first year. Solid o line, double trouble, Olsen and shockey and smitty. That is solid for a team that was the worst in the league the year prior.

The important thing is he learned. A large reactionary group on the huddle were convinced he was one of the worst owners in the NFL and had no clue what he was doing and was too stubborn to change. 

Well to be fair, he kinda was.

Even Tepper himself has admitted that he came into the NFL with some wrongheaded ideas. Those were what led to the Rhule hire which was then the source for most of the issues over the past three years.

The incorrect assumption was that he couldn't learn. He has, and now we seem to be headed in the right direction.

I’m just watching what is happening now, compared the last 3 years, and wondering to myself how the hell David Tepper allowed Matt Rhule to coach an NFL franchise. 

In Tepper's defense, Rhule was being wooed by several NFL teams. He wasn't the only one that was fooled by Rhule's college success. Now, giving him total control was obviously a screwup, but I assume that was the only was to land him; let him control "the process". I hate that we did it, but at the time I was stoked that Tep got him and Joe Brady. Hind sight is a sonofabitch.

He had Hurney and Gentleman and was never expected to be a personnel guy. Hurney and Gentleman are equally terrible. Ron was never even rumored to have been in control of the roster to where we could say he sabotaged it with defense.

In reality Gettlemen just screwed the pooch in every hole when everything was looking good.

Tepper hasn't accomplished squat. He hired a college fool, threw a bunch of money at him, and allowed him to squander draft picks. He then appointed someone who was not a full time NFL head coach but plenty capable of turning around a demoralized team so we could ruin any chance we had at a good qb q/ pick 9. He then hired a retread albeit obvious choice for head coach in Reich but now we are giving away our future and betting everything on a midget or an Ohio State qb. I'll admit Tepper is not a bad owner when I see results and not until then. He's currently sticking his and his girlfriends nose into the qb search.

To be fair, accounts have indicated he's not all that active a participant in the quarterback search. He's just a close observer.

That follows the pattern of the head coach hiring as well. When it came time for the final decision, Tepper abstained and let the football people handle it.

Has he produced anything yet? It's fair to say no he hasn't, but I do like the direction things are going.

Haven't been able to say that for a while...

Nice to have a group of guys with an actual plan on how to succeed. Rhule was throwing poo at the wall from day one hoping someone would make him look good. 

Rhule reminds me of a guy who just auto-assigns every equipment in a video game even if the supposed best setup isn’t actually the best set up.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
