No one really knows who wanted whom except those who were there..... And they're not talking. I suspect that Tepper had some input.... more along the line of encouraging the staff to do "whatever they needed to do" to draft a "consensus" QB. I think Reich and the coaches and probably the college scouts made up the "consensus".
As I mentioned in another post, I would contend that Tepper has ALL the right in the world to ask questions, offer commentary and opinion, and urge consensus building across the staff. I give Tepper credit for being an exceptional business man. I don't believe that he would force a decision to be made that was counter to what his coaching staff would recommend.
So, if Reich is having difficulty making things "run smoothly", or is feeling in any way upset or reserved, then that responsibility belongs to the "consensus"..... of which he is a VERY large part.
That's the view from here....... But what do I know.???
In thoughtful consideration, I will add the following...
If a certain player (Young..??) were "pushed" to the forefront against the consensus opinion, AND that player would happen to succeed in a very visible and dominant way, ..... Do you think Reich would accept the adulation and congratulations for his magnificent foresight.?? Or would he hang his head and pass the kudos on to someone else.??
One thing for certain.... Reich has said many times this year that he would pass the play-calling on to Brown "sometime... just not right now." So we DO know who is responsible for that abortive mess.
Ja??
