Tepper speaks at Carnegie Mellon


Recommended Posts

Really enjoyed listening. Seems to be genuinely excited and honored by the opportunity to own the team. The raw emotion of the speech was a refreshing thing to see. He certainly hasn't forgotten where he came from. We could have done much worse.

He’s growing on me that’s for sure. I really appreciated his honesty and candidness regarding Trump. It’s refreshing.  Hopefully, a new age, progressive owner like Tepper will trim some of the fat off this fan base.

He's hardly progressive or new age at all. More like John McCain or the Bush family than any progressives. And he's going to run this franchise very very old school like the Steelers have for 50 years--which isn't a bad thing, as long as he can do it right and not screw it up like JR did. Yet to be seen whether he succeeds though. I'm rooting for him.

Yea, I like him. I like that even as a man with a great deal of power, he’s still about doing the right thing. He also seems to be an honest man, and in today’s climate, doing the right thing and honesty aren’t valued as much. You’ve got people who are in higher positions of power than him lying, and not doing the right thing.

Please don’t be like JR, Mr Tepper. I wanted Rubin, but I’m ready to give our new owner a chance. Just keep being honest, and don’t play us as idiots. Great speech!

    • Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now
    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
