Sports teams are a toy or hobby to the rich. It's not about making money; they have better ways to do that. He's a fantasy football player with the means to do it for real.

Was eating dinner in Manhattan last night and I overheard someone say "David Tepper." Didn't know why until this morning.

I'd give Burns a fat guarantee if he'd settle for 3 years

Not good enough for that contract but not bad at all

Sitting the guy that would put you in a better position to win the game is tanking. Denver cares more about saving that cash longterm than whether they win these games. My point is the anti-tankers here love to act like this doesn't happen and teams' priority every week is to win.

"professional football teams don't tank" camp real quiet rn

He doesn't have a choice if he wants any coach of note, I think he gets that much. It's going to take a blank check and full control.

Kudos to the staff for not caving into the pressure to start Dalton this season. Letting Bryce build up to Sunday’s performance may have changed the course of the franchise.

With zero front office experience I still trust Cam, Luke, Greg, and Smitty on football over the people we’ve got. It can’t be a role that would undermine a new GM but Tepper should welcome any consultation from our legends.

Yeah I don't think Tabor was first choice for interim

“Terrible position” lol offensive coordinator with a #1 pick QB

If he’s anywhere near what he was hyped up to be then he’s going to work his ass off this offseason and just maybe, with halfway competent coaching, he’ll rise to the occasion. The knock was that he’s never had to overcome real adversity. Well now he’s got it. Time to see whether everything about his work ethic and studiousness was bullpoo too.

This is Scott Fitterer in a nutshell. He’ll come up a fair deal based on market conditions and asset value or whatever but has no eye for scouting. It’s like having a finance algorithm as GM which is probably why Tepper has kept him around.

No doubt in my mind the narrative is going to be that the team ruined him. Media will blame the clearly dysfunctional organization before admitting they were wrong about Young.

Next year is make or break for Bryce and poor play in a system we won’t be using isn’t doing him any favors. Sit him and hope he can wash the stench of the season off.

No coach worth his salt is going to come here without full control and if you’re going to do that you may as well go Harbaugh. Him or Belichick and I think the game has passed Bill.

Lame duck staff

He’s not going to do it with his brain either so what good is he?

I gotta say as someone who doesn’t watch college, I’m amazed at how off the entire football world was about this dude. Hyped up as one of the most NFL ready QBs the games seen and he’s been about as far from that as you can get. With every other bust at this level the red flag that did them in was a known risk. Bryce has ironically been durable he just doesn’t seem very good at the rest of being a quarterback.

If it weren’t for the condensed replays I would have stopped weeks ago

Great point. Fitt’s probably as good as a Yes Man gets.

No matter how you feel about Fitterer he’s done a bad job. There’s qualities I like about him but it’s undeniable at this point. The only reason is to keep him around is if you believe he has the qualities to become a good GM with more time, but frankly I don’t think we’ve seen enough progress from year 1 to bank on that. He is who is— a human calculator who is good at asset evaluation on paper but is throwing darts at the wall to when it comes to talent evaluation.

Very cool that the publically owned Packers are one of the winningest.

So basically we overcorrected and went from CEO coach to a coaching committee.

Over a 100 years of experience gave us the worst coaches we’ve had so I’m with him on that being overrated. A smart football mind who is a motivational leader is what I want and I think Greg has that. i believe this is just a stunt to up his stock though. Like McCown, just being considered for a HC gig is a good one on the resume.
