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.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
