Holy cow, there is "projecting" going on involving a message board about an NFL team?  WTF else does any poster on here have to do if not projecting or complaining about projecting while indeed projecting?   

And whether the call is stupidity or malice or even a combination of both it is certainly a relevant talking point.  What is wrong with this board where so much energy is spent certifying which topics are worthy of discussion and which one's are not?

Here is Person's take on it (pay wall)  https://theathletic.com/2828732/2021/09/15/person-what-happened-to-the-keep-pounding-chant-for-the-panthers-in-week-1-and-will-it-return/

There are a few things in Charlotte that should not be messed with: craft breweries, Bojangles and bankers’ hours.

As for the local football team, at least two things are generally considered sacred — natural grass and anything related to Sam Mills. And in the space of a few months, the Panthers have botched both of them.

On the same day the Panthers played their first regular-season game on artificial turf at Bank of America Stadium, they ditched the coordinated “Keep Pounding” pre-game chant that both fired up the home crowd and paid homage to Mills, the franchise’s only player to have his number (51) retired.

It’s unclear whether it was an oversight by the team’s entertainment division or the Panthers simply decided to do away with what’s become a popular part of the game-day experience. As of Wednesday afternoon, team officials were mum on what happened before Sunday’s opener against the Jets.

Update: A Panthers spokesman said the goal is to have the “Keep Pounding” chant evolve to the point where fans don’t need any prompting to start it. The team plans to coordinate the chant for this week’s game against the Saints, but won’t necessarily do so for every home game.


of course it’s a topic worth discussing. It’s just annoying how fast it went from ...

The team didn’t initiate the chant for this ONE game to ....

Tepper personally axed it to make more money and because he hates Carolinians and wants to move the team.

C’mon. 
 

BTW..I’m not defending Tepper, just basic reason.

ok, I see the irritation with conspiracy theorists.  I just ignore them like I have been doing during elections and covid anyway so I am getting pretty damn good at it.

I have been a fan of Tepper but the buck stops at his desk and he has some work to do.

I will say, even as a NC native myself...I was completely blindsided by how different SC is.  Not a fan at all, personally...but again, that stems primarily from the political divide and the implications of that.

Its visually different.  The flora changes from deciduous forests with dark soil to Pine trees and sand.  Political crap aside, its most likely that we are lumped as "the Carolinas" when there is no correlation other than proximity.

To be clear, we dont chase SC folks back down when they wander up this way.  Its still friendly(-ish).  My wife is from SC, so there's that.

Not that I agree with the decision to remove the stadium initialized chant before the game but I have always felt, having attended various sporting events, that organic chants of the same variety always felt more satisfying than the ones that are contrived through the video board or signs. Having said that, most arenas/stadiums have a healthy mix of both. Almost all popular chants are lead by the team/stadium at some point during the game.

Sort of...

Is he ultimately responsible for the entire organization? Yeah.

Does that means he's directly involved with every aspect of the team on a daily basis?

Not really.

It's possible someone in stadium operations just plain screwed up and Tepper wouldn't know anything about it.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
