Bryce Young is a millstone around Morgan's neck. Tepper threw him into the canal.

He'll be relieved to move on from Young, he'll finally be able to breathe.

The whole first year was putting those inflatable bags in place, that they use to get boats off the bottom. Works for millstones too.

It's part of what makes his job as GM so hard to judge. You cant tell what Tepper has forced. He made it perfectly clear he walks through the building making his opinion  well known and when the big boss does that he intends for people to listen even when he's being "hands off."

Too risky for the franchise QB Tepper thinks he has. Or thought he had. And may again think he has.

Bryce is a week to week weathervane. one week it is gentile south winds, the next week cold Canadian Football League winds.

He literally made them trade up and draft Young.

That is abundantly clear.

 No doubt. And woe be to anyone getting in the way of his willing his decision into success.

Dan is doing very well.  Plus, he gets better each season.

That was Fittershits. Granted Morgan was assistant. Since then Tepper has supposedly stepped back, but as I said, makes his opinion well known. You can't tell how much influence he's exerting.

I've given DM a mulligan on the 2024 draft. That was his first one and you got to learn somehow. 2025 seems like a legit draft class.

We have NEVER had that here. So I'm all for DM to keep cooking. Get rid of BY and a legit QB, ILB, n depth. If that happens I will personally build DM a statue outside the vault

I would say this about 2025, after #8 Tepper really didn’t exert much influence because it was defense and he isn’t fixated on defense, he doesn’t think it sells tickets.

The PFF guys sure seemed to help.  The 25 class were all values relative to PFF rankings except Horn. The 24 picks, especially Legette and Wallace, were... not.

Yes, I think Eric Eager actually has a pretty loud voice behind the scenes.

You people keep making me defend the 2024 class. 

Look XL might as well be 2nd rounder, guys drafted in the 30s-50s do not have what the first round 1-10 have. There's a huge gap. *Most drafts have a tier system that varies. 1-8, 9-14, 15-30, 30-50. Each level there's a huge talent fall or more risk involid. SInce Im a interwebz grandpa, "Back in my day" WRs took 3 full seasons before you knew the ones that had the talent. XL still has time to figure it out and if he doesn't, toss on 20 LBs and give TE a try.....Ive seen him blocking the number off players recently... I still holding out he and BY and...Dave can ALL figure out how to break XL out of the slump. 

Im not going to defend Brooks, it was wrong. I heard they viewed him as a first rounder, still.......no more.

Wallace is looking better each week after that terrible week one, he's looking more and more like a great pick now.

Sanders- a little unlucky, but he's the #1 TE on the roster. He's just got to figure out the silly minor injuries bug. Great pick for a 4th if he does,

CSW- Unlucky with minor injuries too, but he's the starting NB. Great pick for the 5th round too as he's a legit starter.

Crumedy- part of a deep DL and facts are he is the 50s on roster ranks. Still for a 208, that's about what's normally happens. He's still on the team and next year could have a better role. 

UDFA- Coker and RIchardson. They also signed Tremayne form that year, he made the deeeeep WR group and plays a solid ST. 

 

Im a former draft nerd... If you draft 2 starters and a top backup, that's a good/great draft. *Thus far this 2024 class has netted 4 starters, one backup, and one prayer. If you include and should the UFDA its increases the impact.
