Shades of the Steelers of old...kinda. Hear me out

Lest we forget that J-Rich said that he admired the Steelers organization and wants to pattern the Panthers after the Steelers. GTG, do you tell your hubby to hit J-Rich?

I doubt he has steelers emlems on his vehicles and I'll bet he'd never call himself a steelers fan. Admiring or respecting a team is one thing - being a fan - unacceptable.

You're safe as long as you don't have an other team logo on your vehicle.

I do have a Steelers logo on one of my cars. It's the team I grew up with though.

Mr. Richardson and the Rooneys are close, I'd say they are fans of eachother and their teams.

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 get around by mountain bike, but, I follow the same principle--I´ll flip the logo off.

Add me to the list of people who despise Squeelers fans. I think I could almost put up with the ones that actually live in Pittsburgh -- in small doses, but much like Cowgirl fans who live in NC, aren't from Dallas, and probably have never been to Dallas, Squeeler fans who fit that profile really piss me off.

Id like to know what the majority of our fanbase thinks about "fans" of the Panthers that have <"my afc team", "my other team"> they also root for.

Steve Smith kicks Lynn Swan's ass. Talk about a mediocre player living on a SB reputation.

I saw Swann play plenty and it is somewhat disingenuous to call him mediocre.

The fact of the matter is that Swann made some amazing catches and has the rings. Let's not forget that the Steelers have always believed in running first. Swann is a legend that is in the pro and college football hall of fame.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
