I've seen numerous complaints online about other issues that occurred on gameday as well.

Tepper needs to get it together.

the intros were totally screwed up

got in through the south gate faster than I have in recent memory, thought things would be tighter this time so we left our parking spot early in anticipation

Still, not convinced the lack of KP was Tepper's idea, he's been trying to build brand loyalty since he got here and this doesn't really fit into that mode, to me it looks more like something a freshly minted JA MBA would pull in hopes of impressing higher ups

Also we talked with a guy that was working at one of the Panthers stores up in the 500s. We was like dude y’all don’t have much to choose from up here, he said guess what they started doing, selling stuff from Fanatics. He showed us a couple things and the Panther blue color was off. He said they had changed things in the Human Resources and it has got worse. Sometimes change is not good.

While I agree with your assertion about the drastic differences between the two (I've lived in both), I don't think that was motivated by Tepper believing that they're basically the same.  It's kinda just Business 101 to expand your reach and appeal to a broader audience.  I think that was just his attempt to do that.  I've been in Greenville SC for ~5 years now and I barely see any support for the Panthers.  I think the simplest explanation was that he was probably just trying to stir up interest in some South Carolinians like "hey this is your team too".

Also, there can certainly be some validity (and dare I say commendation) in trying to find some uniting entity to bring two very different groups together.  That's more just a general sentiment though, I'm not saying I think he was motivated by some virtuous attempt at unifying the two Carolinas...definitely more plausible that it was motivated by $$$$$.

Its not that he thinks we are the same.  I used the phrase 2 sides of the same coin.  Each side is different.  I merely suggest that he (along with most everyone not from here) believe we are rowdy siblings that have shared all experiences.  Additionally I dont think he considered just how petty the NC/SC "rivalry" is.  As mentioned earlier, BBQ sauce?  Chopped or Pulled?  Ketchup or Vinegar?  FIGHT!! 

I'm a native NC and as long as I've been alive SC has been a derogatory label.  

"Where ya from?"

-"Greenville."

"NC?"

-"No. SC."

- -  "get out"

I live here in WNC. Most folks don't even know we have a pro team.  It's Clemson and USC with some Western Carolina and App State if you're in the foothills.  Nobody gives a sh*t about the Panthers besides me and @LinvilleGorgeand we don't even like each other.

NC by and large has always been a college sports town except for early on in during the time of the Hornets and that was highly likely just feeding off the popularity of college basketball in the state. I can't even remember meeting anyone who gave a single flying fug about the NBA in over a decade.

I was born and raised in Boone and my dad still lives there although I haven't in almost 15 years. App State obviously reigns supreme but I never had any problem finding plenty of Panther fans around.

Haven't read the thread but pretty sure Tepper has no idea who/what RR is nor does he care. Pretty sure if the animated Panther thing is season-long, it cost him a lot of money so if he has to replace the chant so be it. He's a billionaire from Pittsburgh. It will take him a decade to get into a Carolina state of mind.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
