I hate the two states one team BS.

It should have always been Charlotte Panthers 

That's funny, most of "Charlotte" now pulls for teams north of Virginia.  It wasn't that way in 1995.  Look at the stands when the Steelers, Eagles, No-Names, Patriots and New York teams (all 3) come to town.   Tell me I'm wrong.  They travel from Charlotte's burbs to support their hometown teams, not flying in from up north. More, now than ever, it needs to be the Carolina Panthers.

I for one appreciate the team being called the Carolina Panthers, I have always lived in either North or South Carolina but never near Charlotte. I grew up in the mountains of WNC and have spent time in Upstate SC and now live near Charleston. I enjoy having my home team be the Panthers even though I’ve lived in both states. I agree the two states one team slogan is a little corny but I do appreciate the sentiment.

Including South Carolina with the Panthers name is a joke. I mean Charlotte South (Fort Mill and parts of Rockhill) support the team but the majority of SC is either indifferent or Falcons fans

Let's see how many empty seats would be in the stadium if you excluded the SC fans. From day one the team was intended to represent both states so you guys really need to stop acting so high and mighty and quit looking down on the SC fanbase.

Charlotte was picked to be the home of the Panthers because it was the biggest city closest to the border that could draw fans from both states. 

THIS IS THE CAROLINA PANTHERS.  I grew up in NC so looking for a NC team was always my dream.  When it turned out to be the Carolina Panthers based on two states my feelings weren't hurt.  We had a team. 

I think some of you may forget the Richardson amazing presentation to the NFL.  The presentation was based on two states.  In the beginning of the search for new franchises Richardson's team was a huge darkhorse.  If it wasn't for Richardson's presentation we would still be fans of other teams.

HOUSTON GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME..

In the early 90's, Charlotte by itself was much too small to be considered for a NFL franchise.  Some people don't realize how much Charlotte has grown over the past 25 year.  Today, yeah, Charlotte's metro area could support a NFL team based on population alone.  The catch is, most of the transplants (and there's TON of them) still pull for other teams as I mentioned earlier.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
