You raise a valid point. I see Russell giving them a chance vs going with a qb. I've seen they are high on Dart too. Possible 2nd round or trade up option at the back of 1. 

I still believe Dart is a 3rd or lower guy.

I think this is an all-in move by the current regime to save their jobs

One thing I’ve noticed lately is there is no mention whatsoever of Tepper or getting his buy-in when it comes to decision making or anything - contracts, etc. 

so, that’s something

I'm sure he had a meeting with the 3 after the season was over to discuss the plans going forward. He's still in the know, of that I'm certain. They are just leaving him out of the discussions publicly. He will be in the draftroom when the selections are made so even if he keeps his mouth shut his presence alone is a distraction they do not need. But it's his team and he can do whatever da fug he wants with it. I probably would too.

Agree with everything you’re saying- I just (wishfully, perhaps) hear a different tone from this front office. Rhule/Fitt/Reich constantly name dropped “Mr Tepper” in just about any answer about “coming to a decision”; it was like it was engraved in their brain about Tepper being involved in an extension or free agency strategy etc.


We will see some draft time, but for now- it’s a positive and signals what we began to see last season as far as Tepper letting his football staff do, idk, their job.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
