Tepper and his qb desires

You may forget that he wanted watson desparately and thankfully the browns outspent him. Watson is trash and is out for the season. Two years now of trash.

Tepper wanted Fields who is indeed a bust, so much of a bust he scared me off from stroud.

And now he got his guy with bryce and now the laughing stock of the league. Houston is now not a laughing stock. It comes down to physical tools AND the right coaching. We have neither. If we had stroud, maybe have three wins. If we had Houston's arsenal and coaches, we are probably the same if not worse.

Firing everyone now will not work. No coach or gm wants to come in with no first round pick. His ass needs to hire a consultant now to start looking for a gm outside the company (not morgan sorry) and have that person bring in the coach they want. Otherwise he will sign ron and hurney back bc it worked at one point

Not true. It's the only way to turn this around.

Allowing Fit to make any more decisions continues to set us back by years and continuing with Reich and co. is never going to work.  

I think that what he's getting at is that it's Tepper actually making the call. It was widely reported that it was Tepper who was so obsessed with pursuing Watson and it was only when the cost got to the point of absurdity he accepted that it wasn't worth THAT.

I think he wants anyone perceived to be an upgrade. 
 

I respect that he seems desperate to improve the team and isn’t a complacent, absentee owner. With that said, he clearly isn’t an evaluator of talent who should have input on the roster. 

Yeah I can appreciate the desire but the desire becomes counterproductive when paired with incompetence and too much ego to recognize it. Tepper seems to have the philosophy that he cannot fail he can only be failed by the underlings around him.

See, there's a flaw in your logic here.  You're assuming that with Stroud here we'd be running the same offense.  I feel comfortable saying we would not.  Stroud is a classic pocket QB who also has above average mobility.  It wouldn't make sense to run this scheme with Stroud.

It was well known that Reich likes big, strong armed QB's.  His system isn't strictly West Coast.  He does have some WC concepts, but he's closer to Erhardt-Perkins which marries the WC concepts with the Coryell concepts.

Had Stroud been the pick, I think our playbook would look very different.

I agree with you on Bryce Young, I think, but got to disagree about Tepper’s awareness. 

He knows if he was all over something or if he just went along because the professionals advised it. 

Everybody in the room or on the line at the time knows where the others stand.

I gotta hope he is at least trying to quit overriding professional opinions. If that was what he was doing.

According to Twitter there was a 3 team trade up to the 2nd pick for us. After Houston found out we wanted Stroud they backed out forcing us to deal directly with Chi. After that we took Bryce because that's who Houston wanted and we didn't want to look like fools which we do! Smfh.

Well you kind of just made that up. 100% of reports says Houston would have taken Bryce if they had the choice. They lucked in to us taking him ahead of them.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Reports were that we would've taken David Carr if we had the #1 pick instead of being forced to settle for Julius Peppers at #2 and then falling backasswards into Jake Delhomme.

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
