Panthers Owner David Tepper Wants The 'Steeler' Approach In Carolina

[Wolfcop]

Same thing that JR said, and the "build through the draft" was pretty much what we have always done.

I'd rather be run like the Steelers than be run like... uh,

(I'd normally say "jaguars" just because why not, but they had a pretty good run last year so it's probably unfair to throw them under the bus for no reason)

uh.... the Bills?

Yuck, I hate old school philosophy.  Adapt or die 

They were tied for 1st in the league with wins last year.

Here is a 2017 article that looked at the records for all of the teams from the previous 10 years.  They were 3rd.  7 out of the 10 years they had 10 or more wins. Never were below .500.

I think they are adapting just fine.

There is more to the "Pittsburgh way" than just building through the draft.  He talks about not setting the market for free agents, something we have been guilty of a good bit.  Everyone only thinks about free agents from other teams, if you make your center or RB the highest paid in the league its the same difference.  We tend to trade up a lot, even future picks, do they do that?  

We aren't nearly the conservative operated franchise around here that people think.  We aren't anywhere close to the Packers, Patriots, and Steelers in terms of organizations philosophy if you are looking at the last 10-20 years.  Look at the number of compensatory picks those teams have r3eceived in the past 20 years, all 3 are towards the top, and look at us, at the bottom.

Steelers have only had 7 losing seasons in the last 46 years- since '72 and the start of the Bradshaw era. If Tepper wants to emulate that organization, I'm all for it.

So he wants to lose to the Pats every year
