Found an old article of JR discussing why he had the NFL shield at midfield.

My lord he was so old fashioned and set in his ways. I'm glad we've moved on to a new era of Carolina Panthers football. Tepper has won me over so far.

Dear Panthers,

Please replace the logo so this crap stops.

and i don't see how anyone didn't make the connection of it being the shield finally being replaced.

Did he say it? Or is he just waking and talking. If I walk across midfield does that mean the shield is going to be replaced? Just because you want something to be doesn’t mean it is going to be just because  someone related to the situation walks across it.

The entire Panthers social media account and beat writers are all but confirming it.

Also it seems that whatever it is will be debuted at Fan Fest this Friday, so there’s that.

Pay more attention.

They're deliberately not saying it outright because it's meant to be a tease.

Voth and the Twitter guys all know that the NFL logo at midfield is a big pet peeve for a lot of fans. They also know that a lot of fans are excited at the prospect of Tepper changing it.

Hence, this is meant to build anticipation. And I think Gantt it's probably right. You might just see the midfield Pantherslogo for the first time at Fan Fest.

Every Panthers media member is teasing the same images and question. They've been informed of something but have been asked to keep it underwarps until the reveal - most likely at fan fest. I'm not sure how this isnt completely obvious.

Would prefer that the new midfield logo make its debut at the Dallas game...the stadium would be rocking!!!

There's one big argument against that though. The field is currently blank.

For the NFL logo to be there again, they'd have to take the trouble to paint it back on. I'm not sure I'd want to do that again, especially not after teasing it on social media this week.

Gotta figure the fact that they're teasing it now means it's more likely to be done soon.

The field has to be painted for practice at Fan Fest. So it makes sense to do it this week. But could be tough with all the rain that's forecast.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
