The only hope I see: complete and total disengagement from David Tepper

David Tepper needs to completely abstain from any and all current and future football decisions.

Stopped reading right there..........billionaire egos aren't told what to do with this toys from others. Especially from common folk about things that that a billionaire owns.  

So good luck!!! 

 

We won't win much less consistently win until he does so and if he wants to win as bad as I think he does.... he would be wise to step away because he sucks at football

I like Sanders. Not saying as Panthers coach, but he was a great player and knows what!s up and seems like a good person to me because really, what people that know him have said. Don’t remember the name but an old baseball teammate spoke very highly of  him, I was impressed. Show me otherwise, now. 
 

edit: I mean, after that, you have to show me how he is not.

No, none of these rah rah, eccentric types.  Him or Sanders.  Keep people like those far FAR away from this team.

Not that I believe that Harbaugh is a "rah rah" type, but he's certainly eccentric. Eccentricity doesn't have anything to do with fielding a good football team, which Harbaugh has done. He knows how to build a legit top tier pro team just like his brother. That's all that matters to me.

I like Tepper.

I think he has 2 things he goes by.  

1. You have to find your franchise QB.

2. He'll do everything he can to give the football people what they need or want and he's not afraid to put his money where his mouth is.

All this Tepper made the pick, Tepper dictated this or that is just speculation.  

Joe Brady wanted Teddy Bridgewater and when the Bucs came sniffing around we overpaid to make sure the new wonderkid OC had the guy he wanted.

Matt Rhule begs and pleaded for Sam Darnold.  We got Sam Darnold.  

Matt Rhule wanted Baker.  We got him Baker.

McAdodo wanted Matt Corral.  We traded up and got him Corral.

Half of a superstar staff all got together and went to the top 4 QB's workouts and pro days and the football people decided that Bryce Young was the best player.  There were zero people shocked when he went number one because outside of a week or so of rumors, overwhelmingly the vast majority of the football world agreed Bryce was the best prospect.

I think Tepper loves the team and being an owner and is very involved in the discussion but actually does fully allow his football people to makes decisions.

No matter what he does when it doesn't work, people look to place blame.  The worst thing the guy may have done since he's been the owner is allowing too many "football" people run the show.

To get Rhule he paid him like a top 10 coach with a 7 year deal and let him have roster control.  Rhule would have been the Giants coach had Tepper not backed up the Money truck.   Rapoport reported at the time it was down to Rhule or Josh McDaniels.  Tepper did decide on Rhule and it was a horrible mistake but this wasn't like some crazy Raiders 1st round draft pick out of nowhere.

After giving Rhule every chance to prove he could do something Tepper finally pulled the plug but during that time learned he needed a GM with experience and quality football people with NFL experience.  We had already added Fitterer who had worked with the Seahawks for 20 years and who worked with Dan Morgan, who we also added as assistant GM. Then, we built a coaching staff with multiple SB appearances, wins and experience.  The big reason that Reich ended up getting the job is his extensive ties with other coaches that allowed him to build this superstar staff.  The one thing we have up to our eyeballs is NFL football people contributing and making football decisions.

I fully concede that Tepper's big input was asking how are we going to get a franchise QB?  I agree with him in that if you don't have a franchise QB, it's really hard to do anything else.

Tepper sits down with all these football experts and asks what's the best path forward so we're a playoff team year in and year out.  They put together a plan with all these NFL stud coaches who have tons of experience.  They put together this plan.  Now, Tepper is going to give this giant barrel full of NFL football people ever chance to prove they know what they are doing and to see this plan through.

I like Tepper.

I like his patience to see if a well researched and thought out plan will succeed.

I like his money that he's not afraid to throw at resources to make this team better.

I like that he hates to lose and damn right if the super coaching staff I'm paying a bijillian dollars too goes 0-5 to start the season there are going to be some very F'N uncomfortable meetings after a loss.

    • 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.
