The Patriot Way or The Steeler Way?

NFL insiders have posted stories about David Tepper and the Panthers being interested in executives from both the Patriots and the Steelers.

So which do they really want?

In my opinion, probably both. You're not guaranteed to be able to get either, so why not hedge your bets and keep your options open?

(optionality; that's a David Tepper thing, right?)

But if the choice were up to you, who would you want them to go after?

Neither. Give me the Kansas City or Seattle way. Steelers haven't won squat in recent years. Maybe we can start filming team's practices.

why can't we do it the panther way... why do we have to say, in a crude cookie cutter strategy, we want to be like someone else and think we'll have the same success....lets ask Money Money when he gets out of the MLS meeting...

Side note on "choosing your way".

Turns out that way back when, Kevin Colbert was actually an up and coming executive with the Detroit Lions. When their GM job came open, he was considered a potential candidate.

Lions owner William Clay Ford chose instead to go with a TV personality who Ford believed really knew what he was talking about after listening to his in-game commentary.

Yep. The Lions could have had Kevin Colbert, but Ford chose Matt Millen instead.

 

 

To be a Lions fan...

It really does all stem from owners' decisions. Hopefully Tepper will not be another Ford.

The only thing I want from the Pats is someone from their scouting department. That's it. I don't want their coaching at all. McDaniels screwed up Denver so bad then bailed on the Colts. Eff that noise. 

 

If I had to choose, I hate to say it because I really hate Pitt, It would be the steelers way. They don't rebuild, they reload. They're always in the hunt and make noise in playoffs. Also have the hardware to back things up through drafting and hard nosed football.

I prefer the referee way.  They can make or break any team.  Bribery gets you everywhere in today's selfish society.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
