I think as long as JR is the owner it'll be the shield. First owner/creator will give props to the other owners for unanimously voting yes to the Panthers.

next owner though...should give props to the fans. I'd also like to see the stadium named something that isn't corporate. Like maybe the Queen City Coliseum or something.

You do realize that companies pay hundreds of millions of dollars to name the stadium?

Yes and there are many stadiums that don't have corporate sponsors. Off the top of my head:

Green Bay

both NY teams

Kansas City

Pittsburgh

Cincinnati 

while it may not be common it's a desire I have for the team to dedicate itself to the city and the fans. If I won the lottery I would consider buying the rights for just that reason. I'm smart enough to know it makes zero business sense but it gets me in the feels.

​New York Jets and New York Giants play in MetLife Stadium

Pittsburgh plays at Heinz field. 

Those are corporate sponsors. But I still see your point.

The Buffalo Bills' stadium in Orchard Park is named Ralph Wilson Stadium and commonly called"The Ralph". The new owners, the Pegula's, have expressed no desire to change it in honor of the man who brought football to WNY. Much the same reason the Packers play at Lambeau Field.

​Yeah you're right. I guess Three River Stadium and Giant stadium are things of the past. Certainly the NFL is going towards and not away from corporate sponsors and I understand it but I'd rather they didn't. It seems like you can help build an identity for a team giving them their own field but it's a business. I get it. Oh well.

​You said it.  All about the benjamins baby.

Not that I like it either though.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
