David Tepper - Come on in here and get this humble pie

I have to believe Tepper is a smart man, however his desperation in this whole ordeal reeks of someone who hasn’t faced adversity (that he couldn’t buy his way out of) in his life. 
 

There are no shortcuts to establishing a winning nfl team. You need to have the right people in the right places for years making the right decisions.

Complaining about complaining is also complaining. 

True. But here's the key difference: You cared(not much, sure) enough about my complaint to respond to it. 

Tepper doesn't know you or I exist. He's not going to post a mea culpa and promise to do things the way you want him to.

Why?  Because he's rich?

I'm in a business where I'm constantly meeting with and dealing with folks who are millionaires many times over, and a few are billionaires....I am consistently shocked at how they may understand one thing really well...they are not very smart when it comes to anything else in their lives.

Being rich doesn't make you smart.

You will get no arguments from me on that one. 

However, most of the wealthy I’ve crossed paths with have a semblance of intelligence, but what they lack is humility due to an oversized ego.

Strangely, a lot of the millionaires I know are assholes, the billionaires are not....go figure.

I don't think Tepper is an asshole, I think he's an idiot.

This is a game. We're fans of a team that plays a game. It's supposed to be fun. poo talking your team/staff because they're not performing is one thing, but this place has become Doom-posting Central, where grown men write open letters to the owner like some kind of angry child, and others pretend like this is worse than the year Richardson tanked the team to punish the Players Union. 

Yeah, the crybaby circle jerk got old fast. I’m sure it’s driven traffic down. I know I can’t stand to be on here too long or often anymore.

Tepper you got clowned by the Bill Cosby of QBs. Clearly by all accounts a POS. You kissed this loser's ass for 1 year and then then let another nfcs team come in last minute and steal him. How pathetic are u brah?  Please fire rhule and let anyone but you hire a competent coaching staff. 

 

Personally I think there's an outside chance this watson situation blows up in the face of whoever gets him since the price was driven up so high. So this could benefit us indirectly. But we'll see!!

It's fun to banter back and forth but I'm the end Tepper probably doesn't give a rats ass what any of us think. Unless of course 1 million of us all feel the same way and stop watching, going to games, buying merc etc but we all know us little crumbs couldn't stand together with that much unity because we would all be busy arguing over dumb poo like politics or whether or not George Seifert was actually alive as he stood on the sidelines emotionless while he was coach.

Business sense and common sense aren't the same thing.

    • While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.    
    • Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
