Here is my theory…

David Tepper is a little man mentally.  He literally cannot handle another opinion that doesn’t match his own.  
 

The problem with this is that he doesn’t know the first thing about football.  Nothing.  He was in the group of people in Pittsburgh that wanted to fire Tomlin.  He is a disease 

This all the way.

He was just looking for someone that agrees with his vision. That's all, and that guy was Morgan.

Fans and media alike think they deserve more answers than they do and also read way too much into the generic answers we get.

Well, I'm of the opinion that fans do deserve answers because we're the ones supporting the teams. If a GM can't answer---however generic--how he'll be different than a failed GM, then fans have a right to voice criticism.

Because it doesnt really matter what they say.   It matters what they do.  What good does asking him how hes different than the previous failures actually do?  If he gives a perfect answer or a horrible answer none of that really matters.  What matters is he knows what the failures of the past are and hes learned from them.  I dont expect them to open up into some deep philosophical answer.  Actions, not words.  If he answers the question perfectly with some totally understandable excuse of why things went badly that everyone understands and feels compassion towards, but then does a terrible job in the future, how much does that question about the past actually matter?

Why are we making this harder than it is?  With Tepper in the building can you really evaluate the people he hires?  He just overrules their decisions with his own, unless they do what he was already planning to do.  Does that mean Dan will be good or bad?  Who knows? But how can you blame him?  We have no idea what decisions he’ll actually be allowed to make.

I’m fine being optimistic because it’s hard to see the point in letting sports entertainment make you too miserable. It’s just internal vs external.
 

How can we justify keeping anyone from the front office that was building the team?

Just feels like we picked someone with no potential.

I won’t argue the optics of hiring a person involved with the worst FO in franchise history.

I just don’t understand getting upset at Dan for accepting the job offer.

IMO Tepper could hire the resurrected corpses of Vince Lombardi, Tom Landry and Chuck Knoll and they’d still fail b/c Tepper is cancer.

Definitely happy for Morgan. It’d be great if it works out.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
