Fitt said that Tepper is letting him and Frank make the decision about the QB pick.  Hope this is 100% true and love hearing that.  If true, seems like some growth by Tepper as an owner.  Hire good football people and let them do their job. What an idea.

Agreed loved hearing that. Sadly I expect that media narrative will never die whether true or not. I can’t think of a single instance where we’ve heard Tepper overruled a football decision yet we hear this every year.

Heard that. Was glad to hear...

There was a point when Fitterer was talking about Young as if "this is what we will do."  Instead of "this is what we would do..."  His verbs were not really speculative (modal) and they were in the future tense.  They really weren't said with "if" to demonstrate a conditional situation.  So he was either careless with his verbiage or his grammar ain't none two good.

Yes, I am digging through the trash to find evidence.

To be fair, he did this before. The problem was he had Matt Rhule as his football people. 

If Tepper had his way we would have drafted Fields.

I haven’t seen anything except media bull that has Tepper as a meddling owner.  He includes people he trusts in interviews but he has always said he will let the football people make these decisions.  
 

Tepper is a great owner and I disagree with people saying otherwise.  He wants to win

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
