Dude - you're just being a fool if you think Tepper doesn't meddle.  Did Jerry Richardson go on pro days in 2011?  He met Cam once and signed off on the pick but he let his people do their job 

Do I think the owner should meet the player selected #1 overall by his team? Yes. #1 overall players are generally franchise changing level talents, especially if that player is a QB. It's natural for the owner to want to meet them before the team picks them and invests in them and the future of the team. 

Do I think the owner should be at all the scouting events, pro days, and analyzing that player's value on the football field? Unless that owner is a professional scout or football administrator, the answer is a resounding no.

And I thought up until the last statement, it was telling that he talked about conviction around Bryce in "past tense".  He probably then saw the faces in the room and realized he needed to say something positive about Bryce.  

CJ Stroud was clearly the best pick in the draft, and Bryce not likely to  even be the second best when it's all said and done.

He also admitted the original plan was to go to pick #2 and take CJ Stroud.

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?

People are really in here trying to run interference for Tepper after that mess lol

 

I just don't know what people expect.  He is a billionaire owner and alpha male type business man.  He is not going to completely humble himself publicly.

At a minimum, he acknowledged fans frustrations that they way he has done things haven't been anywhere near successful.  

It also appears that Fitterer is on the way out.

He didn't confirm/deny that he would hire a coaching firm.   But that doesn't mean he wont.

He seemed slightly more humbled than he has been.  He still sucks but I'm reserving hope that he handles this search the correct way.

 

His poo about the music and events is whack and tone deaf.

I got the complete opposite. He took a press conference following the firing of yet another head coach only 11 games into the first season in the midst of one of the most disastrous seasons in team history and used it as an opportunity to once again blovate and toot his own horn about his knowledge of running a professional football operation. He dodged the subject of Fitterer.

I didn't get any level of humility or possible inkling of a willingness to cede any level of power to an outsider to run the operation for him.

This was absolutely more of the same.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
