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.

It’s not his desire for QB that’s my issue with him. My issue is his apparent belief that HE can scout the proper QB

Overall I think his intentions are the right ones, unfortunately he has no idea of how to go about it.

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.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.

      Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
