The top goal of this offseason

Is this mfer (Tepper) making all of our draft picks too?

No, but he doesn't have to...

Even if he only influences the highest draft picks and a few of the major free agent decisions, that's bad enough.

He needs to stay completely out of all football decisions or little is going to change.

Here's where I think the ultimate bottom line is for us...

The word is out all over the league on David Tepper.

No good coach is going to come here if they have to submit to weekly meetings with the owner.

No good GM candidate is going to come here if they expect that the owner is going to meddle in their decisions.f

So if we  really wants to get a good candidate, David Tepper is going to have to make radical changes in the way he operates. Candidates could conceivably even ask him to agree in writing to stay out of things.

It's just that bad 😕

I doubt he is the only owner in the league who talks to their coaches on a weekly basis.

Not to mention, if you look like the worst team in the league you might need talking to.

All this meddling talk is overblown.  How many draft decisions did Tepper overrule the GM (Or coach if he had final say) on?

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
