It had nothing to do with cities it is about the organizations. But let me go back to my original statement. Panthers dont have to win every year to make money. Hurricanes on the other hand lose money if they dont make the playoffs or barely break even. That is a big motivator for any owner to improve his team.

I agree. The Panthers can afford to sit around and wait, and give the staff and the team the benefit of the doubt. Play the patience thing..

Hurricanes can't. If they could have, they probably wouldn't have fired Peter Laviolette mid-season. But they knew that barely missing the playoffs again was not something that they could afford.

This is a very good point. The power of the NFL as the king of sports in the US does provide it's teams with a bit of a security blanket, and PSLs just add to that. This takes us back to the other thread about a lack of accountability which is leading to the Panther's continual mediocrity. They need to be careful, though. The blanket isn't infinite, as Jacksonville is discovering. The Panther's FO better start feeling some urgency soon, or we may find ourselves in a similar situation.

Actually, the Whalers/Hurricanes sucked for the last five seasons in Hartford and first season in Carolina. It is also a stretch to say that the Panthers "are an expansion team." "Were" an expansion team, yes. Are after 15 years, no.

What? The Panthers will always be an "Expansion" team.

And the Hurricanes took over an all ready functioning franchise.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
