In case y'all forgot, I am also a Steelers fan (except when they play the Panthers). When I look at the Panthers I can't help but see some similarities between this team and the Steelers team that dominated the 70s, when I was coming up. Now, before some of you go postal on me, I know that those Steelers teams have four rings. This is just me having dreams of Super Bowl rings in Charlotte. I can only hope that the Panthers will strive to play up to the level of probably the best team there ever was in NFL history. We do have the talent to take it all. Now it's just about motivation, desire, and consistency, consistency, consistency...and hope that John Fox = Chuck Noll.

Jake Delhomme = Terry Bradshaw

Thomas Davis/Jon Beason = Jack Ham/Jack Lambert

Julius Peppers = L. C. Greenwood

Steve Smith and Muhsin Muhammad = Lynn Swann/John Stallworth

Deangelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart = Franco Harris/Rocky Bleier

Chris Gamble = Mel Blount

Maake Kemoeatu = Ernie Holmes

Damione Lewis = Joe Greene

Johnson = Dwight White

Some of the comparisons I can see but not so much on others. Damione Lewis = Joe Greene? Not in a million years.

Yeah, I admit that is probably the biggest stretch (as well as Kemoe and Charles Johnson), but some are still young or relatively young and will strive for those heights. I couldn't help to think about Jenks when thinking of Joe Greene though.

Actually I think it's a stretch comparing Swann to Smith.

I'm not kidding.

Swann was good but no where near Smith. After hearing Young, who played with Jerry Rice, talk about Smith on MNF I'm convienced that Smith is going to be known as one of the top 5 WR ever. His numbers don't and won't match that of Rice but Smith's talent is at least on par with that of Rice.

Swann and Smitty were both very similar. Smaller WR's with huge verticals and the ability to ****** just about any ball out of the air. Not to mention big plays after the catch.

The Jake/Terry comparison doesn't pan out, because TB was a very mobile QB and Jake.... well let's just leave it as saying he's not.

yes - I do. If I ever see a car with any type of steelers bumper sticker or plate or emblem, I swear to God I really do this - I tell my husband to hit the car. My kids laugh at me because every time I see them make any dumb move, I'll say it's because they are a steelers fan. My husband ticks me off because he never does...and we're always in my car. I'd gladly sacrifice it to hit a steelers fan.

(oh, and I don''t mind the team nearly as much as I dislike the fans)

I'll be sure to keep a distance from you on the road then.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
