Is it just me or…

Does anyone else immediately stop watching the draft videos when Tepper pops on the screen to talk to the draft pick?  I just get repulsed now at the sight of him and the sound of his voice.

I don’t mind him. He’s definitely villainized around here but honestly if you just accept that this organization was a fuging joke lonnnnggggg before he bought it and will be lonnnngggg after he is gone, it makes for a much more mellow, pleasurable Sunday viewing experience.

I mind.  Because it’s one thing to suck and suck with humility and a willingness to learn.  It’s another to suck and think you have it all figured out while you act like an asshole.  From throwing drinks on fans, to the hires, to the fires, to the “basement dwellers” comment about his own fanbase for calling him out on his idiocy.  His face pisses me off.  His voice pisses me off.  But I agree with you Montsta…  I’ve never been more apathetic or indifferent when it comes to our team for the reasons you mentioned.  I accepted long ago we were an incarnation of the Browns.  Hope it turns around and we find our footing under this regime…  But Tepper just irks me…

I mean, I am repulsed by it, but Canales does turn it around pretty quick.

I always put myself in other peoples shoes, and I feel like, do they even know/care about who the linebacker coach is right now?

But it will probably mean something to them down the road when they establish that relationship and reflect back on the night, so I tolerate it.

I am just thankful he has been less involved as far as we can tell lately, and it seems to be paying off with our PFF A+ grade for this draft.

I will hold my thoughts until we see how much up Dan and Daves ass he was in the draft confidential if they do one this year. His vibe feels like more hands off this go round but they haven't really given anything substantial media wise to decipher yet.

I feel like with guys at Tepper's level of ego, even getting them to take an imaginary backseat is an accomplishment.

The only cringe-worthy thing from the call videos that affect me is Dan using the words "man" like it's universal punctuation.

Then I feel bad for him because he's so happy but all he can say is "man" every other word.

IMO basically everything this time of year is worthless filler and not worth watching but yeah, if someone was so inclined to watch any of it I could definitely understand tuning Tepper out entirely.

The Teps appear to be super hands off in the D&D world compared to earlier.  The drink incident seems to be The turning point

Nothing wrong with "I'm the owner, welcome to the team, here's Coach"

Compared to, let's say, Dallas draft videos where Jerry is front and center? Tep is almost an afterthought 

The full Draft Confidential, if it's released, will tell us more.

I think Tepper gets a bad rap.  The team was going downhill before he bought it. He was a new owner and took his lumps, but I do feel like he's learned and has the team in the right direction. It seems that when things are bad it's Tepper's fault and when they start turning around it's someone else's credit.  Morgan was a good hire and Canales was a good hire.

    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth. 
    • Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.
    • I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
