There is no NFL logo on the 50 yard line of Heinz Field so sign me up

Never understood why anyone cares about this so much.

Will be hilarious if it stays

Anyways, David Tepper already has his plans for how he wants Carolina to function. He envisions an organization mirrored like the Steelers.

Like or dislike? Discuss.

 

Nothing new there. Mr. R said the same thing. This team has been trying to emulate the steelers since the onset. Just without the success. (Super Bowl wins)

I disagree. You can hate the Steelers all you want but the bengals and ravens are constantly making the playoffs. Sure they may have some bad years here and there but overall they are pretty good. Yes the browns do suck there is no argument there.

 

Because the AFC sucks and someone has to go in. They can never beat New England. They lost to The Golden Calf of Bristol. If Denver or Baltimore are having one of their good seasons, Pittsburgh shits the bed. The AFC West is going to be lights out this year and we may finally see a team matter that's not Denver, New England or Shittsburgh.

I'm curious about that too.  Tepper is a value investor won't overspend on players. So it will be interesting to see what happens. Will have a good idea after next year's draft.  If we take a QB Cam will be gone.

Actually sounds like a Jordan. I swear if we turn into the Hurricanes, i'm out. I gave up on that franchise a few years ago. They're moving to Houston soon.

The man is worth over 10 billion dollars.  I don't think anyone can say that he doesn't know how to win.  Winning is exactly what this team needs.  For all the negative people, open up your eyes and look at his results and all his success.  What makes you think he will not be successful?  What makes you think he will be ok with mediocrity just like our last owner?  What makes you think he can't win in this environment?  He went from nothing to 10 billion.  My money is on David Tepper to not just want to be successful like the Pittsburgh Steelers but to actually be a successful, winning franchise just like the Steelers.  I am excited for this change in ownership.  Go Panthers!

Richardson modeled the panthers after the steelers to begin with. Soooo...?

[Toker Smurf]

I'm going with May 25th as his first big interview. I'm assuming he'll be at the owners meetings May 21-23, maybe some sound bites there. The 24th is the last day of our first OTA session, assuming he'll want to be in town for that. Then a formal interview on the 25th. Make sense?

Your idea of recently is ten years ago? That franchise overpays aging players and tries to build through the draft. The AFC is garbage and part of that problem is them. I fuging hate the steelers and their fanbased. The absolute worst in sports. I don't see how this is news b/c JR wanted this franchise to be the steelers as well. I was hoping to get out of that mantra. 

The steelers consistently make the playoffs and have won super bowls (multiple) with their method.

Yeah, I'm ok with that.

Tepper is not Richardson.  Richardson failed miserably at modeling the Panthers after the Steelers.  I honestly don't care who they model after.  I just want to cheer for a consistently successful franchise.  What we have now is hope of something different and better.  So we can at least celebrate that.
