I prefer results. The man who hired/retained all those dumbass blunders is still here calling the shots. We are literally hoping he has learned, at the expense of fans, what other successful owners (and even arm chair GMs) already knew.

He is not backing off, so it’s clear he does not think he’s the issue, yet he is the common denominator. San Fran learned to back off and shockingly, they have success. We have to bank on Tepper either realizing that or actually call shots correctly.

Jury still out for me. We are undefeated off season champions since 1995. I’ll get exited when this team (and ownership) actually looks like it belongs in the NFL, which hasn’t happens for over half a decade.

Really! Richardson(RIP) is gone and Tepper is here to stay and he also has seemed to of changed his tune on how to run this organization and letting the right people do the jobs they were brought in to do.

I'd forgotten about Byron Bell 

Haven't been this excited since Super Bowl 50 week 

Same. That game knocked all the wind out of my sails and I've been  struggling  to recover  ever since. 

I'm legit excited  again.

It’s a rare opportunity to be able to get the #1 overall pick in a year in which there is a consensus #1 QB who is also the #1 prospect among all positions on many big boards. It’s a really great and exciting time for the team.

It is rare, which is why it hasn't happened this year either.

Weird, I just looked at literally the first 8 results when google searching “2023 NFL Draft Big Board” and here they are in order:

PFF: Young #1 overall prospect

Tankathon: Young #1 QB, #2 overall prospect

NFL.com (Jeremiah): Young #1 overall prospect

Fox Sports: Young #1 overall prospect

Draft Network: Young #1 QB, #4 overall prospect

Walter Football: Young #1 QB, #2 overall prospect

Sporting News: Young #1 overall prospect

ESPN: Young #1 overall prospect

Why even post such a verifiably incorrect response. This is supposed to be a positive thread.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
