We know the story. Tepper hired Frank. Frank thought he would get to pick his guy after the trade. Tepper overruled him because of a play broken down over a sald. Frank got pissed and didnt GAF anymore, Dave made him sign NDA and paid him millions to go away. 

 

Yeah we think we know but I would still love to hear Reich’s version of it.

Someone should dig up the predraft threads comparing Bryce Young to Patrick Mahomes Peyton Manning Steph Curry Michael Jordan Bruce Lee etc.

Bryce Young is most defenitely a D meaning below average .well I guess a C- is as nice as way possible as saying below average ...just saying

Hot take:  Dan Morgan is well aware of the fact that Bryce sucks.

I want to believe that because if he doesn’t I fail him. 
 

2023 draft is F minus. On the 0-100 scale it is about a 10. That is being generous.

It's a very hot take because he's done absolutely nothing to rectify the problem.

The only plausible explanation for that, IMO, is there were conditions before the contract was offered. Tepper style conditions.  
 

Otherwise it makes no sense to me.
 

When I see the coach speak and the GM speak at the level these guys are practicing it, I know I could never hold on to that job.
I just couldn’t lie like these coaches have to lie in some cases, to protect or disguise their true opinions.

Sometimes you have to eat the poo sandwich. For a while. If there are no moves made after this season,  I acquiesce.

Its what killing me, he's spoken 50+ times about the main goal is to make a "competitive team at all spots".....Such horse poo. 

I believe you would share this, out of all the NFL QBs, there are maybe 30 worse than BY. Panthers managed to sign 2 of them to this roster were the top goal is competition!! fuging Zack WIlson or Trey Lance or trade for Matt Jones or draft one in the Mid-rounds you fuging coward!!! Get someone with hope and talent, its not that hard.....only if you are trying not too!!!!!

I hated the pick but the point guard talk started with Thomas Brown, 2 months before. I’m not a Tepper fan but I’m sort of annoyed when it looks like people are not including Fitterer, Reich and Brown as well. There were tons of interviews with all the interested parties and how they were all aligned. I’m sure Tepper played a part but I don’t think that Mrs. Tepper made the pick or Tepper made the pick overriding everyone else. It was a cluster, period. Reich’s offense looked like poo, Fitterer sucked balls being the man and Brown was far away from his McVay tutelage.

Because it's the same thing.  Saying we didn't give up anything because its a swap is wrong.  If we gave up nothing then it would only be 1 first round pick.  If it makes you feel better about the trade then say swap.  Only thing that would make me feel good about the trade would be Stroud.

Maybe “gave up” is the wrong term. But he cost us two firsts (and then some) because that is what we spent to get him. In the same way I would say we spent a 1st on Freeling. We didn’t trade anything to get him but we we didn’t get him for free. We still spent a pick. 

yeah I get it in that regards. when I read "gave up", I think gave away to the other team in a trade. But your intent is gave away one there, misused one here. Just me overthinking. Its now 2026, and it was still the wrong move.
