One thing that I haven't seen addressed since it was brought up during the official name change press conference is what they are planning to do with Bobby Phills' jersey. At that presser they sounded adamant that that was a priority and were in communication with the Phills family.

I would love to walk in and see 13 already hanging from the rafters but it seems like we would have heard about it going up by now or a re-raising ceremony of some sort.

They announced on Facebook that his jersey will be raised at halftime on November 1st against Memphis.

Wednesday is about celebrating the inaugural team so it's understandable that they would wait on Bobby's ceremony. It deserves it's own ceremony.

The attendance banner can stay under wraps.

Are you insinuating they shouldn't even hang it?

Hopefully it's already hanging when they open the doors Wednesday and unveiled at some point.

I think they could put it up around the concourse somewhere as it has historical significance but I wouldn't hang it.

Only banners should be retired numbers and championships won on the floor but to each his own.

who really cares about the attendence banner. all it shows is people came out to watch a game 20 years ago. not something I would really want to hang my hat on.

I disagree. Of course in the big picture it means nothing but to lead the league that many consecutive years is pretty cool

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
