No hindsight necessary - it was obvious then and there that it was an absolute windfall for a second- or third-tier player like Burns.

They never ran a play with a lead - they were behind when they kicked and then the game ended. That's the (dubious) record, that they ran zero plays in the 4th quarter while having a lead. There is no 'technically' about it.

Yup, they sucked fair and square to earn that overall #1. Like Carolina did this year... oh, wait. God how I loathe David Tepper's ownership of this team. Could have changed course at any time these past 6 years and avoided giant dumbass mistake after giant dumbass mistake, yet here we are, with Bryce Young and Brian Burns on the roster. Oy.

And then not trading him to Chicago instead of D.J. Two golden opportunities just fumbled away.

We have baseball workouts from 1-3, so I'll be mercifully prevented from watching the bulk of it. Will probably tune in for the first few just to see the season off.

Why do you think it automatically means anyone wants Bryce to fail? The two things are not mutually exclusive, and that's really the problem with a lot of rose-colored crew in this fan base right now... things are treated as zero-sum, and it's not. It's just the way it appears based on the season at hand.

And that is why arm strength matters. Not that it is key for every play and not that QBs need to be winging it 40 yards down field off their back foot on the regular, but what an advantage in situations like that.

Nothing will push me back out of 'just friends and academic interest' territory until it shows up consistently on the field. That doesn't mean winning every week, as it didn't this year or any year before, but rather decisions that lead to ratio and and logical team-building, personnel moves that actually make goddamn sense, and just some steady improvement and player and strategic development from week to week. David Tepper has killed any and all credibility that he may have ever had, which was basically unknown-to-none in the first place, and over these 6 seasons there is zero evidence that he has any football sense whatsoever. He has a lonnnnng way to go to rebuilding any favor and earning the benefit of any doubt.

On the bright side, at least this year's draft room this wasn't set up in a hotel hallway because the football stadium was too busy holding a concert on draft night.

Yeah, selling the team is over the top. Hopefully though the NFL does impose something solid and public, as I would hope for any owner that does such an action. If the Eagles sideline guy got suspended and banned from games, what does this deserve?

You really have to start with retaining Rivera and Hurney post-2018. 2019 should have been a completely clean start.

The irony here is so thick it's suffocating.

Nah, he still has to be above it. Some jawing would be perhaps understandable but responding physically as he did (in a general sense) in this setting especially for anything less than an actual hand-to-hand attack on him/his sphere where a potential assailant need to be mitigated is unacceptable. Is it fair? Perhaps not. But an NFL/sports owner, or really anyone in a very prominent position like that, just simply can't be that thin-skinned, and Tepper has no goodwill left anyway. Plus, throwing a drink is such a b1tch move by most anyone... dude screwed up royally and deserves all the heat he gets.

And now doubling and tripling down on it. Truly an impressive effort to kick off the New Year.

Wtf does that have to do with anything? Pretty sure anyone and everyone agrees that an owner of an NFL team/sports team/etc shouldn't be throwing drinks at fans. Tossing this comment out in this context may be one of the most moronic posts I've seen on the site. That's an impressive feat.

Who is 'we'? I sure didn't.

Truth, but Tepper has to be above it. Unsurprisingly, he seems to be confirming that he isn't.

I want to see him do it in the playoffs this year. Hope he does.
