Who is your "model" NFL owner?

It appears that David Teppah is wearing out his hedge fund welcome and even taken some low blows from a SC State Sentator. Many people are upset with him over Rhule and then fault him over Darnold. 

 

Personally, I still am mixed about Tepper (64), I think his biggest problem is he is applying his bullish hedge fund principles to NFL way of doing business and it is not going to work. 

If I had a vote in who he should model his ownership structure, it would be Steve Bisciotti (61), owner of the Ravens. Also a self made billionaire who came from humble beginnings. I just like the way the Ravens are managed and that team thrives in the Baltimore market which is smaller market size than Charlotte. He had Ozzie Newsome as his GM for 16 seasons, they then transitioned to Eric DeCosta. John Harbaugh was a home run hire for Bisciotti in the early days

Harbaugh led the Ravens to the franchise's second Super Bowl title following a 34-31 win over the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. Under Harbaugh's watch, the Ravens have secured nine playoff berths, four AFC North division titles and three AFC Championship Game appearances. 

Harbaugh is three wins away from passing Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy for 26th all-time in regular season wins. He is one of just 18 coaches in NFL history with at least 10 postseason victories. Harbaugh's .609 regular season winning percentage is the 33rd-highest mark in league annals, while his .579 postseason winning percentage is tied for the 28th highest mark in NFL history. 

 

Baltimore isn't some mega market, you won't hear the owner or his team on the news much but they field a competitive team and have a great fanbase, their stadium is just 3 years newer than ours and their stadium is nestled right in the city like ours. 

While the easy answer is Steelers model of ownership, I just think our market and age of our franchise can be more closely modeled to Baltimore than Pittsburgh.

"There's no way in the world that we would ever want to move out of that Camden Yards complex," Bisciotti said. "I'm thrilled that the state is saying, 'Let's get ahead of this thing. We've got the money now, let's escrow it.'

"To me, that's really the biggest news of this offseason. When that's there, and we can start planning how to grow into these next 30 years, it's big. It's big for me, personally. You might be stuck with me for a long time if we get to keep upgrading that stadium."

Even how he is handling the stadium issue, much different tune

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
