The Bryce dick riders are equally as obnoxious as the haters.

I'd really like to vehemently argue with this. But man it's rough.

Juan strikes again!

It's amusing that people say things like this with the utmost confidence. Do you have any other information you can give us about the alternate universe where we draft CJ Stroud?

@poundaway

One poster in particular dumped several hundred poo reactions over the course of a month in the leadup to the draft on any posts not in total favor of Bryce Young. That poster has been completely MIA since the Colts game. Go figure.

The threads immediately following that win sure have been fun to revisit.

If he's actually hiring outside people to run the search bravo. If we are only going to replace Fitterer with Morgan as much as I like Dan the person and former player he's been here with Scott through some mess and he absolutely cannot be absolved. Not to mention there's the layer that Tepper exerts his own influence on the GM and the familiarity he has with Dan will probably muddy the waters. Honestly I'm in favor of completely gutting the entire front office and scouting dept. We have been comically abysmal at drafting.

I appreciate the real data people are bringing to give us a full picture on the talk of our OL woes. Regardless of who we hire as the head coach we definitely need to see some level of an upward trend from Bryce next season or the locker room is going to get dicey. It doesn't matter how nice someone is or how much they are liked as a person when other people are having their livelihood affected by consistently bad QB play. Eventually it erodes the foundation. See Sam Darnold as a starting QB.

This is ultimately a redundant thread I agree. I can agree some of the Stroud talk has become unhealthy. Unfortunately for those who want to move on that is going nowhere for at least another year or two. Even the guy himself is aware of it and has rubbed our noses in it. Have to both accept the outcome and understand it will remain a major topic of discussion going forward as long as our franchise is stuck in the mud. I don't think most people are "opposed" to BY as much as they are disappointed just how statistically horrendous he has been regardless of extenuating circumstances. We have to acknowledge the fact that for him to make a full 180 from here and become a franchise QB would go on to become one of the most miraculous career turnarounds in decades. Best case scenario from here is he becomes a decent starter and we still draft competition for him down the line.

New GM and the Tepper's out of personnel decisions.

1st overall pick and a statistical top 10 WR. Ohh wee Mayne. I definitely appreciate the attempt at optimism. I'll have some of that if we actually hire a new GM and Tepper steps back. Until then I expect more of the same unfortunately.

I'm not telling you to call him a POS. I'm not sitting here calling him names. I'm telling you he is a very poor owner and he is very bad in his overall decision making from major team decisions down to basic things like attending games and acting like an angry toddler. He is also very petty and we are hearing he only wants to surround himself with literal yes men. If you don't agree so be it.

Of all the things to do on a random Wednesday you choose carrying water for a billionaire.

Meh. What it really boils down to is we did not need to keep Darnold or Baker. We did not need to trade to 1. We could have kept Moore kept this years first rounder and drafted Levis at 9 or even traded down and still taken him a little later and been better off than we are now.

You guys should stop torturing yourselves dreaming about this. They love having Tepper around. He's good for business. His team is a cellar dweller and the get right game for other more relevant franchises.

You're caping at this point. Just as you were last year. And the year before. That's your prerogative. Also to be clear he's made it well known he regards fans critical of him as beneath him entirely and people that live in basements.

From a general perspective I would get what you are saying if we were talking about a normal everyday individual. As far as it pertains to David Tepper. Bare in mind you are asking for decorum on behalf of a middle aged billionaire who in a press conference following yet another disastrous decision on his part purposely mispronounced the last name of the head coach he just fired. That same man once purchased the home of a former business rival just to tear it down and rub his nose in it. That same man basically has a trail of bad decisions and business deals across the region here. Now he is behaving like a drunken ogre at Panthers games. His reputation in the Carolinas has been cemented by himself. That's really all there is to it.

Why would we have to choose between the two? You would keep both and deal Burns if anything. We're finding out the hard way you can't just draft a WR in the first two rounds and profit immediately. He has?

Tepper has more than brought this on himself. It's telling the only one who agrees with you on this is Dr Lunker back on a new account.

DJ Moore was the more egregious move. Top 10 WR in his prime on a low end contract compared to some of his peers. McCaffrey is everyone's favorite because he's playing on the 49ers behind that OL with Shanahan designing plays. But nobody wants to talk about his salary cap hits or the fact he and his mother were relieved to get him back on the west coast. He's also banged up heading into the playoffs behind one of the league's best olines. You're dreaming if you think he stays healthy and doesn't sit out behind ours.

Best player on the team. Pay that man.

Pocket change. Owners looked out for him. Make no mistake they don't mind at all having Tepper around. The league needs a good punching bag and that's what Tepper's franchise is good for now. We are every teams get right game.
