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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
