Drastic change with new owner- would you still be a fan of this team?

Let's assume for a minute that the new ownership group decides to legit clean house. Fire Hurney and hire a new GM with a plan to blow it all up and start a rebuild. Fire Rivera and company, across the board. Cut or trade every player over 27 years old for picks or younger players. Trade Cam for a stockpile. Draft one of the Franchise QBs this year with a pick from the Cam trade, as well as a true LT to protect the new guy. 

Sign someone like Alex Smith to start for a year while the new QB learns the ropes.

Keep only the young players with big potential, and sign some vets in free agency to short term deals. Draft with the goal of being SB competitive within 3-4 years when the current youth on the team is in their prime, and the new young QB has some years under his belt. 

Go grab 3 of 4 Alabama/Georgia Offensive and defensive linemen over the next few years to end up with the best OL and DL in the league. 

Etc etc you know what I mean.

If this were to happen, and the Panthers were destined for 0-16, 1-15, 2-14 records for a few years, with the expectation that they will have a rebuilt franchise competing for years in Super bowls with brand new stars on the team....

Would you still be a Panthers fan? Or would you walk away?

You need to remember at least half this fan base comes from  after 2011 when Cam was drafted. We will lose this when he is gone.

Unfortunatley, the Panthers actually have a very small true fan base based on observations pre Cam.

There is zero chance new ownership would do that. Especially trading Cam. It won't surprise me if new ownership dictates an approach of building around Cam seeing that they have a guy who should be one of the if not the biggest star in the NFL on their roster. It's a waste of his star power to continue with this slow paced ball control offensive philosophy that values TOP over all else.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
