If there is anything I would believe, it is that Reich didn't pick everyone on the staff.  

I do believe that. Who would pick a staff of ex coaches. That's a death wish. Too many hands in the pot.

Just sending this out to the world : 

 

FIRE FITT!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

If anything, I bet the Scouts and Fitt wanted Young. 

The coaches wanted Stroud but weren't opposed to young. 

Once they went to Tepp, told him they "like Stroud" but "Everyone" likes Young more. So he zeroed in on Young. 

That's a very realistic scenario.

amazing that the presser just ended minutes ago and people are already twisting and falsely reporting what he said. 

believe him or not thats one thing... but he said what he said.

What he said was fairly mangled and not at all forthright, also somewhat self-contradictory.

It genuinely felt like he was trying to manufacture an answer rather than just give one.

Not to single you out, but this is the stuff that gets me here. So many opinions based on stuff that is just not true and has been posted in here before.

It was said many times in here that one of the main reasons Reich was hired was because he already had his staff set when he came to the interviews. That was considered a plus that he had already done that. Do you now think Tepper picked his staff for him or do you believe the multiple reports that Frank was already prepared with his staff? Pretty sure Tabor and Campen were the only holdovers and it was pretty much universally lauded in here to keep those two.

Because Young would be taken at 1, so Stroud was the next choices. But they’ve said this before so I don’t know how you are surprised by this?

Not surprised because the original story around draft time was that they had conviction on two quarterbacks.

That they made a decision to trade to second overall knowing Young would go first means that of the two, they had decided to go with Stroud.

Then Houston backed out and it all changed.

I, for one, am very happy he brought more "events" and soccer to CLT.

Because there was never anything else to do there.

 

A S S of an owner.

They decided to go with Stroud as the assumption was that Young was gone. So they were ok settling for their 2nd choice. They were ok not choosing their preferred option, but go with their close second one.

Not a very inspiring presser. rambled on about nonsense for half of it when all that matters in this context is the product on the football field. Tepper shouldn't have final say or any say at all in "the process" of scouting and drafting, I don't really care about the other details of what went down with the choice because they don't matter. Tepper needs to trust the people he hires to do their damn jobs and not involve himself at all. Until that changes I don't have any hopes of this team getting better. Also Tepper dodging the Q about using an advisor is a bitch move. He's gonna go ahead and try to do everything himself again this offseason and fug it up again, surely.

Millionaire players not wanting to play a sport for a billionaire owner 

let me get the world’s smallest violin for all of them 

Frank Reich is a good human being but he is also no one’s victim…he had choices, one of which was to retire after the Colts fiasco and live happily ever after 

look, I love pro football.  I get how hard this sports is but leaders, need to lead, and if they can’t, get out 

these people are not victims   they chose this business.  

You're not getting it, dude.

How you feel about their feelings doesn't really matter. What does is that they have other options and would rather play somewhere else.

The gist of that is not that they're crybabies, it's that The owner is running a sh-tty organization.

The people hurt most by that?

That was the best part of the press conference, a sign that Fitt is hopefully on his way out.

Yeah, I think that's a reach.

This presser didn't really give me any sort of vibe on what they plan to do with the front office.

Reporters asked poor questions

Disagree completely.

They asked very good questions. They got poor answers.
