It really is the correct name.

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.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Basbear · Posted

      I miss many of the OGs like @ladypanther Zob had a bad off week and came in here to do some mopping and a couple of the 10 year 15k post account he just banned over a silly disagreement, just odd behavior from Zob. A Pessimal deal happened with Lady and others. I tired to find a new forum and could not get around the signing up part...same for discord. Its not perfect here by any means, but I still feel welcomed here for the most part and this place does have the most freedom. I hate how the right vs left BS nearly cooked this place, I still believe in removing the litterbox, toxic as hell and lollolols @ anyone coming into a team forum to talk about pointless politics of the uni party turds.  @Bear Hands you saved this place with your activity. It helped offset the lost of OGs and the knowledgeable that leftd.    It would help for new members and I do get the spammers deals, just got to mod them away and hope opening the door brings in fresh blood.

      That seems about right. No higher than that for a bottom third qb with two years left, including one expensive year. He played well enough last year to show he is startable. It depends on whether other teams thought he has any upside left and whether he's been hindered by coaching and surrounding cast. I think most teams would answer no, but if they thought he could step it up just a little I could see trading a fourth or fifth for a bridge guy/top tier backup.
