Looked for a Tepper thread to ask this. Did people know that when Ben Navarro was still in play to buy the team, he asked John Lynch to run things for him? 

Listening to a Lynch interview he makes the claim (really bored, but hey, I never hear that one).

I would take it over this clown show! The fluff is not working on me this offseason, didn't the last two either. You can tell a shitty boss has and is still meddling and micromanaging, but it's a business where he makes profit whether he puts out a good product or not so we're kinda fuged as fans

Kind of odd. He was already GM of the 49ers and just going in to his second season when the sale was unfolding.

IMO…it is infuriating that he and Nicole are even in that room.  Tepper is such an ego maniac. 

Owners in the war room is very common if not normal practice. Blank was in his, Hamp, Kraft, and even Hunt was there for the Chiefs. I’m trying to find an owner NOT in their teams war room…

It is common overall certainly.

But. None of those owners you listed own a team that they have been heavily involved in behind the scenes that currently holds the worst win percentage in all of professional sports. Also none of them that I know of make it a point to stop in local places in the city the team is based multiple times to directly address any vague criticisms.

All this after an impromptu one on one interview where Nicole praised the best thing they've experienced with the Panthers is selling concert tickets.

They bring this stuff on themselves. Optics wise it would be smart to just fall back and let the team president be the face.

Yeah, I don’t know. It was news to me.

Nah people are just reaching now. Following a normal approach as most owners do is nothing to get upset about. The best part is most of the videos I’ve seen have been Morgan talking with Tillis which is what you want. There is plenty to get frustrated with him and her about without overreacting to something nearly all owners do.

Trade back trade back. Trade back. Who else feel like this draft had Tepper and his wife all over it?  Dan Morgan “this is who I would like to draft, but Mr Tepper, what do you want to do”. It just feels the same as every other year. Went with an injury prone RB but thought it wasn’t ok to go with an injury prone LB that is a stud.  Draft gets a solid C so far.  

Can you list his injuries that make him injury prone? All I can find is the ACL injury last November. What are the other injuries that make him injury prone?

Ben Navarro was never seriously in play to buy the team for numerous reasons

I’m talking about the war room and draft we just witnessed. Sitting in a war room is normal behavior and nothing to get upset about. Bringing up past issues which I already mentioned are fair game doesn’t really change the point.

I mean sorta, the are widely known as meddling owners, tepper came out during the hirings that he was going to step away and let football people do there thing.  So it would be more encouraging on that regard if they simply werent in the room even if it was for optics alone.  Take the year off.  Get out of sight.  Especially considering his behavior the day prior

      Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      By strato · Posted

      I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
