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

    • Yea, I've never had high expectations since we drafted Bryce, so it's not like I'm just upset about not meeting them. I went into the season wanting to see player improvement and Canales' play design/calling improvement. I'm now to the point where I 99% only care about seeing individual player improvement.  The 1% is that I unfortunately have to still hope to see Canales play calling improvement, because that is kinda critical for the improvement of all our young offensive players. Offense is different from defense, you need good play designs and calls to show out.  On defense, everything can be a mess, but a great young player can still stand out and look great.  Our defense can be a mess but still have Horn locking down his guys on the outside, Scourton or Princely winning their pass rushing and pressuring the QB, DB swallowing up multiple blockers. But it's very hard for any QB, RB, WR, or TE to individually shine when the play design and calling is poo.
    • He actually said the Panthers are hanging on like a cat on a screen door lol
    • Oh, I'm not 100% expecting/demanding anything for next season. All that I want to see out of this season is progress, but I also understand that progress is not linear. I also understand that we've got a young team and coaching staff that are both developing. Expecting a winning record isn't reasonable at all, but I'll cheer for one all the same. I think that this is where some of the more angsty fans keep themselves in a perpetual cycle of misery: high expectations leads to low resiliency. Folks can have high standards, and the Panthers + Bryce have not met those standards, but some of those standards are completely realistic (like Bryce has to be built like Cam in order to be successful).
