beo

incompetent officiating is a leaguewide issue, but boy have we gotten hosed quite a few times over the years. this specific one still burns me up, cam had quite possibly the best game of his entire career just for it to get decided off that and funchess not attacking a damn pass.

What??? I was told that every random kicker we signed off the street was an all-pro by teh huddle! How could he have missed?

LOL that is the most panthers outcome imaginable

OH MY GOD PJ IS INCREIDBLE

Cam's pocket presence was seriously underrated. He must've cut our sacks in half nearly every season. Early in his career he'd sometimes hold the ball for too long but other than that it was mostly very good. Footwork wasn't the greatest but he had a great internal clock, something a lot of mobile QBs don't have and he didn't get spooked and start running in circles behind the LOS at the first sign of pressure. Cam with a good OL would've been even more of a terror, I mean hell we saw it for ourselves in 2015.

Ah, seems the part of the Panthers cycle where we trade or let a talented player walk for peanuts after grossly misusing them for years came early this time around. CMC is a QB's best friend and would help a rook out tremendously as he gets adjusted to the pro game and we trade him for a package that doesn't even include a first rounder? Lol. What's the point of making a move like this in-season? Why not let your new coaching staff have input on who stays and who goes? Because let's be real, we all know Wilks isn't keeping the job. This just reeks of us scrambling to get whatever return we could.

>be qb >get selected by the bears in the first round >immediately die in action yep, sounds about right

It's been an honor serving with all of you, men.

Did the two teams switch OCs for the day?

Get to? He never leaves.

The year is 2025. PJ Walker has just finished off his 3rd consecutive super bowl. Matt Rhule has been fired from the head coaching position of the Umass Minutemen. David Tepper has spent all the increased revenue on cocaine and hookers and given PJ Walker a 500 million dollar contract. Jerry Richardson is probably crying into a pie chart somewhere in the suburbs of Charlotte. Amidst all of this however... PJ has still

PJ Fact #12: In NFL games where PJ starts, the defense allows 5 points per game. PJ Fact #13: In pro football games where PJ starts, the offense averages over 30 points per game.

the process was 1000% working, david tepper just couldn't see it

7-0 as a professional starter

Not all diehard fans come onto forums like this is sort of what I was trying to say and some fans even if they aren't as intimately into the off-season moves and things like that will attend anyways because it's something to do on a Sunday. The mindset of "Sticking with a team through the tough times" is prevalent in fans that might not look online or even be aware of this sort of action taking place at all. We can definitely put a dent in Tepper's profit margins and I'm not saying that boycotts are completely ineffective but that there will always be a group of fans who are attending games and of course as you mentioned opposing fans will also buy tickets and fill the stadium and ultimately I don't think it'd be enough to make the team unprofitable which would be the only real scenario in which Tepper sells. Making less money and losing money are two entirely different things and I just don't really think it's feasible for a modern NFL franchise to be bleeding money, let alone for any significant period of time. Even the Chargers bounced back in terms of revenue last year after essentially telling their entire established market and fanbase to eat poo.

I just don't see any real indication of this stuff changing. Regardless, the message of "If you aren't happy, don't support it" is a great one but most fans of NFL teams don't follow the team as closely as we do and those are the fans who drive the revenue. A few hardcore fans dropping the team won't stop the majority of fans from continuing to attend games and the like. Which, if they enjoy it more power to them! At the end of the day we really are just a vocal minority and the odds of an NFL team truly feeling the pinch, especially in a large market like the Carolinas that's one of the fastest growing in the country just don't seem great. That being said, I'd love to be wrong and see profits plummet forcing Tepper into action to improve the product on the field. Just don't know what the odds of that really happening are.

I don't disagree that this is the best and really the only course of action for us but unfortunately an NFL team will never not be profitable and fan organized boycotts won't ever really change anything. Same song and dance with other perennial losers; no matter how bad the product is the team will remain profitable. See the Fords, Bidwills, and Mike Brown for examples of teams that fail to fill their stadium all that well due to being perennial dumpster fires but the ownership group still refuses to relinquish control because even a half full NFL stadium is making money and team valuations only continue to exponentially increase as time passes. All we can really do is hope that Tepper isn't one of those sorts of owners but early signs aren't looking favorable on that front. The franchise actually being respectable is more of an accessory to that profit than it is a need by any means, and Tepper won't be losing sleep over it. We're stuck with this garbage for a long time all because Tepper happened to be first in line for a team per the accordance of the NFL boys' club. Thankfully this version of the "Panthers" is really just a skinwalker wearing the Panthers that I once knew's shell so I don't feel bad over not watching games outside of when I'm bored like this past Sunday.
