Maybe Bezos will buy SI, just like he purchased the Washington Post. Traditional print media; where capital goes to die.

The eternal triumph of hope over experience.

To be fair, he’s very tall for a midget but, I get your point.

“And the sea will grant each man new hope, as sleep brings dreams of… past NFC championships.” [With apologies to Christopher Columbus]

He is smart within his area of expertise, running a hedge fund. I think he is now learning (maybe, we hope) that running an NFL team is infinitely harder than running a hedge fund. Who knew?

Jon, come on. Superficially, Siefert at least dressed like an NFL coach/GM. Bellicheat looks like he just stepped off the set of Animal House.

From your lips to God’s ear, please…

Beat me to it... A person of average intelligence makes average level mistakes. To galactically screw up requires someone who is absolutely brilliant... and knows it! [Anyone who has spent years in upper management knows this to be true.]

Ya'll are missing the brilliant strategery of Tepp and Fitterer. We trade Moore and picks to draft Bryce number one in 2023, who becomes the key cog in our 2024 tank strategy, so that we can get the number one pick in 2025. I tell ya, this is next level strategery, boys...

Oh, hell, why not? Bryce and Fields in an open competition in training camp for starter? At least it would be entertaining.

[CRA made this point before me.] Otah’s comparison should be to Horn. A good to very good player that can’t stay on the field…

This is a multi year rebuild; can’t fix it all in one year. Addressing the OP’s immediate question… 1. WR that can get separation. No slots, please. 2. LT 3. C/G Assumptions: BC gets first shot at LT next year. Ickey is moved inside and competes against Zavala, Mays, others for a starting spot at LG. C/G pick backs up Bozeman and Corbett. LT pick backs up BC and Moton. Go run heavy. Re-sign Foreman, admitting our mistake in letting him walk. Bryce gets one more year to demonstrate that he is or is not capable of being an NFL starter. If Bryce disappoints in 2024, we draft higher in 2025 and pick Bryce’s replacement. 2024 is going to be butt ugly, no matter what we do. Might as well sort out our WR and O line issues in 2024, setting up Bryce or his 2025 replacement for more success.

Wait. I thought firing Reich was supposed to fix this. Damn, who does Tepper fire now?!

Since this franchise is a three alarm fire, I humbly suggest something that complements asbestos and is flame retardant…

Corbett?

This thought process breaks down immediately at step 2.

You big mad, bro?

That would require an incredible amount of self-reflection and humility. Yeah, we're screwed...

Medieval clowns and court jesters played an important role in ‘speaking truth to power.’ Perhaps David Tepper is listening? “Jesters in Medieval Europe were decidedly more involved with affairs of state than were jesters in other time periods and locations. Oftentimes, a monarch or high-ranking official would search for a jester to keep at court. The court jester of medieval times was usually allowed to speak his mind freely, while not everyone else had to wait for the monarch's permission to speak. Many times, the jester would use his chance at free speech to criticize the monarch openly, where no one else could. Thus, a function of the jester was to act as a critic, and many stories exist to support the fact that kings did indeed pay heed to the criticism of the court jester.”

Word

“We can save really big bucks by replacing natural grass with artificial turf?”

Suspend that true observation and just go with the flow…

‘… and then we can save money on other high salary positions.’
