Do you think Fitterer and Reich would have the courage to say no Tepper?

We've got some who seem to want everybody that we don't pick to fail miserably.

I don't.

I get the "crush your enemies, see them driven before you" mindset. Hell, most of the time I agree with it.

But in reality, I've got nothing against these kids. Best of luck to them...

...except against us.

Nobody that I have seen wants young to fail, I think its more like some of us dont see how he can succeed long term.  I will be rooting for the kid, hoping he proves me wrong, but I have watched this game for far too long to not know how this ends

Are we just going to ignore the fact Tepper let this guy make decisions with full authority and now think that he won't let his all star level staff with decades of experience and an infinite amount of more NFL pedigree decide who to pick?  image.thumb.png.933614d0584a0250e79417e41df58783.png

We don't know who thinks what.  Every year the rumors say there are differing opinions in house.  We never will know until years later who was in what camps.  And you largely never know that unless things go really bad.

Fair point 😄

Every year there are differences of opinion.

It would be kinda silly to expect a group of varied people to all agree on everything.

Yeah, zero chance Tepper, Frank, Evero, Brown, Caldwell, McCown, all agree on what to do at #1.  

Same will be applied to every  pick once the madness starts of the draft too. 

But the narrative like all teams will be they all agree and got exactly the dude they were hoping to get at random pick spot # whatever.  

I would assume Frank and Tepper got the most sway with their preference followed by Fitt.  I think who has the most sway depends year to year.  I would assume an experienced first year coach has a lot of sway on the direction we go with the first pick.  I think Fitt had more sway than the HC last draft.  Just because Rhule was on the hotseat.

Officially, final say belongs to Fitterer.

Of course, if you read the recent interview with Reich, he talked about consensus building being Fitterer's "superpower". I've also heard people say the same thing about Reich.

So overall, I suspect when they come to a final decision, it'll be a lot more cooperative then say, a Bill Polian throwing a chair type of meeting.

I hated Matt Rhule and his gang of cronies as much as anyone here and I hated Tepper equally as much for hiring such a certified bozo, but he turned around and hired one of the most experienced QB friendly head coaches in the NFL and put together a staff full of experience to develop a young QB. I think Tepper has made it clear he's deferring to his experienced staff. I'm 100% sure he offered his input. But I think the final call is with Reich with Fitterer a close second.

I like Young way better than I would have liked Fields.

Just as a prospect without knowing how they will do in the NFL?  It's tough but I would imagine Young should look better early in his career as he is more "pro ready" than Fields coming out.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
