Person: Tepper indicates he's learning and changing his approach

It's hard to fault Tepper for anything he's done post-firing of Matt Rhule.  Wilks was the right guy to keep the ship upright last season, Reich was the right coaching hire, and everything the team has done in terms of trading up in the draft, free agency, etc. has made sense.

Ultimately, it comes down to winning, but organizationally, this team now looks like it is run by professionals and not a micro-managing college coach who was in way over his head.

I have not felt this good about the direction of the franchise since 2017.  I am beyond excited for this season. 

I'm ready to own the NFC South for the next decade!

This is good. I still have plenty of critiques regarding Tepper, but the worst type of owner is the one that refuses to admit when they're wrong. I think he's showing that he's not going to be that way. I think sometimes we have to remember this is his first time being an owner, and like with players and coaches that might come with a learning curve.

That's partially true because near as anybody can tell, he hasn't done much.

He actually seems to be letting the "football people" do their jobs.

Best things owners can do is slightly guide the ship and then just stay out the way which allows the true football minds to do what they do. He is doing that now so I have to give him credit for that.

I'm still not a fan of his at all but then again I don't like any of the the NFL owners fwiw🖕

Is he?

It looks to me like he demanded we get a QB in the Draft this year, which required us to trade up. He also clearly heavily favoured Young.

I forgot about the Brown's guy giving Deshaun Watson that contract, but you know who else was in the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes until the end? David Tepper.  I will also admit the Texans owner is pretty bad. The rest on that list are clearly above Tepper (I'm not counting Washington since he is pretty much out).  

And you know who said, “We’re out of the Deshaun trade because I’m not giving him that much guaranteed money?” David Tepper.

He didn't demand he just let Fitt n Reich know if you want a guy go get him he supported that decision. Steering them to the correct decision.

There's an extremely slim chance Reich or Fitt wanted to grab another retread QB when we were in top 10.........again unfortunately

I've said that Tepper was learning all along, while others were insinuating he was a bad, meddlesome, inept owner (if not flat out  dogging him out). No one, even older heads, wants to have patience anymore. Life should teach you certain things... that's if you're willing to be open-minded and learn.

I could go on a rant about his dumbassery but truth be told it’s his ego that needs to be checked and what I’m concerned about.

Why does he need to be a hands on owner? Why does he need to be involved? Why can’t he just let football guys make moves they’re more qualified to?

The answer is Tepper wants credit. He wants a pat on the back. It’s why he had to learn the hard way because he needed to learn lessons other owners already knew, so that in the end he could have the satisfaction. Ego. At the expense of fans. This is his toy. And it will kill a franchise. The people who get ahead are ones who can learn from others’ mistakes.

It worries me because we aren’t banking on professionals or football people building a program. We are banking on Tepper making the right moves, and he is not qualified. Hopefully over time his grip will loosen and he will learn not to be so meddling. It’s exactly how San Fran found success.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
