I have days and moments like this too...

It's the product of a bad FO. We all know it at this point.

I was one of the "Give Scott a chance as GM now that Rhule is gone." Well his moves have looked all too similar to the Rhule era crap. Possibly worse.

It's time to move on. It won't happen because for all Tepper's impulsiveness he fails to see the obvious quickly enough.

U know damn well tepp running the show in the FO. Clear as day when Tep said he forced the trade to #1 months before the draft.

I don't think the evidence we have so far supports that at all. He is actively involved but the instances of him being conclusively linked to many(or any) personnel decisions are minimal. 

I think he is just a general pall over the organization by consistently sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong nor does it help the situation. Case in point with the weekly meetings with Tepper after the games. What could that possibly accomplish? If you don't trust the guy you hired, why did that hire happen?

Same with the "All Star Staff" that the ownership supposedly did have a hand in selecting, despite not many of them being linked or really known well by Reich.

That is the kind of meddling that will torpedo a franchise.

He doesn't have to "run the entire show". Influencing major decisions like top draft picks and top free agents is all that a typical "hands on owner" would really care about.

He's not going to want to do the background on a fifth cornerback or a long snapper. That stuff is boring so it can be left to the coaches and the personnel people.

But it's the major decisions, the stuff that galvanizes the fans, that will interest such an owner.

And sadly, influencing those things is also all it would take to royally screw things up 😕

Yeah and I don't think it is rare for an owner to have SOME input. But these are supposed to be decisions that your FO and coaching staff ultimately make and pitch the case. Not some Dan Snyder-esque fantasy football gone wrong BS.

Snyder was at one point convinced to step back and let football people run things, but then got back into the thick of it reportedly because he "wasn't having any fun".

I'm not sure if it's about fun or ego for Tepper. I'm leaning towards ego.

He admitted that the reason he hired Rhule was because he believed he could come in and "show everybody how it was done".  Still think he ultimately wants to be seen as the reason for our success.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • 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?
