Has anyone here ever met David Tepper in person?

“Doubling down” would be giving him a new contract when the time comes. Giving him a second year isn’t doubling down, it’s not being stupid. Even I, who always wanted Stroud and see nothing of value in Bryce, still want Bryce to get another shot this year. Worst case scenario is also the best case scenario: he gets us a high enough pick to take his replacement. 

Worst case scenario is he's good enough to game manage us to a .500ish record every year, Tepper is satisfied and we get stuck with him for 8-10 years of mediocrity

There is a decent chance Young isn't the answer but you can't move on from the #1 pick after one season in that situation.   That would be ridiculous.  I also wouldn't say that's a decision he makes right now anyways.   There are plenty of people in the front office who would make that call instead of him.  Could he make it?  Sure, but hopefully he's not controlling our roster.

Arizona moved on from Rosen. 

When you know you know. 

Also there's no way you're telling me Reich and McCown wanted Young over Stroud. Absolutely no way. Tepper influenced the pick (and trade) last year.

What's the plan if he continues to stink after 6 games?

At least bring in some viable competition for him.

The plan/path that should have been followed years ago.

I am so opposed to the trading to the top pick method it isn’t funny. Up to me I’d probably draft one where they fell, if I liked them, every draft. Until one hit.

 

edit: Again, teams that are in positition to take a generational type do not trade that pick You can only trade for pretty substantial gambles as far as I can figure. Pass.

Greatest trade of all time if we ship Burns and select Stroud. Current trajectory for Worst trade of all time shipping Dj Moore and selecting Bryce... yikes

yea just imagine how differently we would be viewed if we had gotten two picks for Burns then gave Chicago our 9 that year + the two Rams firsts. 

We select CJ Stroud. This year with our top three pick (god knows we still would have sucked) we take MHJ

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
