Good news from the presser

[ladypanther]

Fitt said that Tepper is letting himself 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.

It's almost 5:00 here, and I'll drink to this news.

He also said we still haven't made a decision and no one told Young he was the pick.

But I do believe that Tepper trusts these guys he hired.

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.

Rumor has it that Tepper wanted Justin Fields and this desperately QB needy team instead picked a CB so knows if this is good or bad

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.

I tend to take Jimmy Buffets approach and say it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

With this staff it’s definitely good. The previous staff, it wasn’t.

Useless nugget... a good childhood friend of mine was married to the guy who wrote that song at the time he wrote it.

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.

Im not buying this yet. Imma pay close attention to Reich after the pick is made. His demeanor will say a lot.

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
