Didn't he win those with the coach and lots of players he inherited with the purchase in 1989 and then kicked him out and then started the SB drought after those 3 wins?

He won them at a time when there was no salary cap and he could just overpay for the best players. Also on the heels of the Herschel Walker trade which was engineered by Jimmy Johnson, not Jones.

I'm not sure if it's that simple. He went out this time and put together a staff chock full of NFL experience. I don't think these guys just suddenly forgot everything they knew.

All I’m saying is that Reich has completely underwhelmed. So many mistakes including waiting 20 seconds to take timeouts, too very poor play calling and team not looking prepared. And that is 100% on Frank.

Did I read that right, the writer thinks it’s good Tepper has his thumb on everything and is hard to work for? In what world is that good? Why, because it worked for Kraft even though he had one of the greatest coaches of all time and arguably the greatest qb of all time? How’s that working for Kraft now?

I'm way fuzzy on the details and just don't have time to look it up. They took Aikman and Smith his first 2 years? No wonder he thought he couldn't do any wrong.

This report is a lot different from what we have been hearing. just being a difficult person to work for is not inherently a bad thing. It’s a lot of people in football that are assholes that still win.

Gotta take it in context with the other reports to put it all together.

Breer explains that it worked for Kraft because he "figured it out", i.e. learned how to push for results while also keeping his hands off the actual operation.

His take is that Tepper hasn't figured that out yet.

Yep, he hasn't even proven that he can manage the clock effectively, much less players. And clock and player management speak directly to situational football which he appears not to have mastered notwithstanding his many years of experience in the NFL.

Do you now believe the proof in the pudding? Fitterer doesn't want this #1 wide receiver, he's tasked with making it work b/c Tepper thinks that's the issue. And he has to do what Tepper and his wife says. This franchise is doomed much like the Hornets under Jordan. His business scheme will finally take over once opposing team fans are 95% of the stadium, but PSL owners will assure they make money. Even if you bow out, someone else sees $$$. Tepper wanted Bryce, convinced me he was the best, but i did think he was the one last season. 

This is the first season possibly ever that the NFL as a whole just isn't enjoyable. The games have been awful, everyone is getting hurt, and this team is downright terrible. It's a repeat of 2010 as a whole. Same four teams at the end with the Chiefs winning it all. NFL is making damn sure of that.

Right but you could argue Kraft got lucky with Brady. His handling of the team after brady is not good. Belicheck can only do so much. I also don’t think Tepper will figure it out either. He has made one good decision yet, besides the logo at midfield.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
