I want Evero back.  The defense is playing as hard as they can with a non existent offense.  They aren't giving up.  Considering they are on the field so much it's impressive. 

Our special teams has been solid this year though. 

Pay Brown. What the hell has Burns been doing ?  

Do players not dive anymore ?  Also hand off for 3rd and 12?  Lol.  

If Burns is this average in a year where he's trying to get a contract then I worry about signing him.  

Brown not going to pro bowl is such a snub. 

Number one priority is paying Brown.  Burns can wait or get traded for anything.

PRE-snap, idiot. 

Tough guy on a message board here lol. 

Grats to Brown breaking the tackles record for DT.  Sign this man now.

How about Bryce is the idiot checking to these bad calls. Thomas Brown is no OC, but don't forget Bryce is making those reads. 

Yes with the .5 seconds he has on most plays.  

How could Bryce really ever succeed with this team?  Garbage receivers.  Bad play calling.  We just had a 3rd and 9 and threw a 2 yard pass to Tremble.  I'm not saying Bryce will be good but man this is an offense full of losers. 

It's just par.   Dropped into by defense.  Fumble immediately into Tampa hands.  Now Chark with this.  Nothing works for this team. 

Good play by Bryce negated by another idiot teammate. 

Dude wtf is Chark doing 

I would rather see Tampa make the playoffs than Saints or Falcons so I'm torn.

Even if the OL gives 10 seconds of a clean pocket, what’s the difference if the slow receivers take 15 seconds to get to their spot? I’m clearly exaggerating with the numbers. The problem is the whole offense and pretty much every offensive player. The OL is bad, compounded by bad and slow receivers, compounded by RBs trying to do too much in the backfield, compounded by penalties and awful 1st and 2nd down plays, compounded by a rookie QB who has zero room for rookie QB mistakes, which puts us into more 2nd and 15, 3rd and 15 than I’ve ever seen in a season. If you’re in here saying this offensive line is performing adequately, I think you aren’t watching the games and have a bias. I’m not sure we’d be worse if we cut every single player.

Yeah all this, basically.  I'm not saying Bryce is or isn't a bust, it's just too early and the issues are too vast right now.  Those numbers posted earlier in the thread don't take account receiver separation etc.  Also just the eye test.  Our offensive line is eating dirt on many plays within 1 second.  There are screenshots of the ball barely hitting Bryce's hands and every member of the defensive line has beat our offensive line already.  

With our coaches I would bet CMC was on the IR 4 games into this season.  We just never used him correctly.  

If we were winning games and Tepper threw water on a fan.... would anyone still care?

Not excusing him at all just something I thought of.

Crazy person using the library computers again

Saying that CLT is a big market is ridiculous. Our own fans don't even support the team enough, just look at the jerseys during our home games. There are much bigger markets to make money than CLT. Tepper is quick to hit the reset button on a lot of his assets. I think there is a bigger chance of relocating the panthers than Tepper trying to build this franchise from the bottom up again. If CLT don't make money, he'll move the team elsewhere. He ain't afraid to pull out on deals, look at the Rock Hill fiasco, leaving Wofford, leveraging to get a new stadium. 

The Panthers have sold out every ticket for like 20 years or more lol.  Jerseys are whatever but on paper the tickets are selling.  Charlotte is a fringe top 20 market and like others have pointed out almost every market ahead of Charlotte has a team already.  The area is also top 15 fastest growing cities as well.  It's just bad business to move a team under those circumstances.  The league is mostly a profit sharing league which means the other owners would basically be voting against their own self interests to move the team.  I really believe it would be more likely the owners vote out Tepper before they vote for a move.

And before people say "when has the owners vetoed a move" I would say that just like a lot of laws or anything they have a good idea before hand on if they'd have the votes so if they don't, it probably never came to light.  And when has a team been moved to a worse market?  Since almost all the markets ahead of Charlotte have a team it just doesn't make sense.

It is All about money and the NFL prints it. An NFL team in OKC, San Antonio, Toronto, Mexico City would all do well. I don’t even know if the nfl would bother putting another team in Charlotte. 

There is like 14 teams that make less money than the Panthers.  I'm not going to say "never" but it would be really surprising.

They would approve it in a heartbeat. Wouldn’t think twice about it. They don’t care about Charlotte or where the team is located. I’m pretty sure there is a gentleman’s agreement among them about not vetoing moves. When has one EVER been vetoed in any American sport? 

I just can't see a team that is profitable being moved before teams that aren't (or aren't as much).  It's all about money.  But I concede I can't remember any move being vetoed when I think about it but that could be because a team would already know it would be before bringing up a vote and wouldn't even try.

I don't think the rest of the owners would approve a move.  The team makes too much money.  The NFL is pretty heavy in profit sharing so it would be silly for them to approve a move.  

If there was a God then they would force this dude to sell the team. 

Lol getting shut out by Jaguars without Trevor and Kirk.
