Yup. Die-hard out of town fan since '95 and my big dropoff came with the retention of Ron and Hurney for 2019. It was so very obvious that change was desperately needed and yet... nothing. Love the players and greatly appreciate their efforts on a human level but I'm well into 'just friends' territory with the team entity at this point.

For all of the glaring football-related faults that JR had (the man appears to be a bad human being, but this comment is football focused), the team at least seemed to have a plan and vision even if they sucked at emulating the Steelers. Tepper just seems like he plays buzzword bingo at times and the organization is flailing a bit right now.

All starts at the very tip top.

Since Dave Tepper has purchased this team there has been very little, if any good to come of it.

Once again, another example of "just because you are rich doesn't mean you are smart".

The fans deserved better.  Total disaster from the start.

I’ve been saying this forever. People and talking heads want to praise Tepper for being such an aggressive hedge funder, but this is football not the stock market. You can’t buy a franchise QB low and sell him high. Tepper has bought Teddy and Darnold high and have already sold Teddy for low. Jerry Richardson ended his stint here in Carolina in a bad way but the man played and knows football unlike Tepper.

This is the hardest thing about being a pro sports fan. At some point, losing is actually in your best interests due to draft order. At least when you're rooting for a college team you can always root for your team to win. There's no competitive advantage to losing. There is in the NFL if you're not playoffs bound.

For all of you yammering on about how you're going to skip watching games from now on, and invest your time in other things, we all know that's horseshit. You're going to be in here rage posting and acting like your manhood's been taken from you if the team you like is losing. Get ready for this team to suck until they get some line help, and the rookies get more experience. I haven't seen less realistic expectations for a coaching staff and rookie class on this board in a looooong time. 

It's going to get worse before it gets better. Maybe buy a smoker or build yourself a nice firepit or something, so you'll have it for next year...

 

I do not share your views on this fanbase.

The fans here WILL support the team, and do, until there is reason enough not to.  That's where many of us are.

Those of us who spend a lot of money at the team store, or who travel to a lot of both home and away games (home game is well over $1,000.00 for me to make the trip), have already stopped spending that money.  Next will come the actual games...that's happened to me already.  Think it's not happening around BOA on gamedays?  Check out the complain threads about visitor team fan invasions.

Too bad too, Tepper could have really cemented the fanbase had he done anything correctly after closing on the purchase...instead he has done zero correct, and uncountable things wrongly.

He deserves this, the fans do not.

"Focusing on the business side of things first."

Not bringing in a seasoned "President of Football Operations" when taking over the team.

2 Carolinas 1 Team

Keeping Ron and Hurney when a need for change was as clear as could be.

Firing Ron and keeping Hurney.  Ron was bad, Hurney is an anchor.

"Sports Complex" more important than football.

Soccer more important than football.

Concerts more important than football.

Building a new stadium more important than football.

 

All around, a disgrace so far...and not a shocking one with the way he started out.

That’s one of the problem. This franchise has shown that they don’t know when to lose. We won meaningless games the last couple of years late in the season to drop us down in the draft. We lucked out with Brian Burns but we also missed out on Justin Herbert and Penei Sewell.

I posted something similar elsewhere but it fits here too.

What I find difficult is being heavily invested in the week to week games right now.  Not some hyperbolic "fug it ima go play golf" or whatever, just that my level of give-a-poo has dramatically lowered regarding the outcome of a game any given week.  I listen to smaller chunks of fewer podcasts, I don't much care to listen to the same rehashed negativity on the radio day in and day out, and more importantly I'm not terribly motivated to make the (admittedly short) drive from Salisbury to Charlotte to see the team play.

Oddly that has nothing to do with the fact that we're losing, or even one person / unit being particularly bad.  More that it's difficult to watch a product on the field where one unit has descended into an unwatchable mess across the board in just a few weeks, another needs benny hill music to play when they're on the field, and the defense is being made to play until they can't walk because of the other two.  Sometimes even losing can be entertaining, if upsetting.  Losing while looking like most of the team doesn't belong on the field just isn't.

I totally understand.
 

 You also have PANTHERS TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER 

Decades of incompetence do that  

Now, a coach who doesn’t appear to get the importance of a qb, and a competent backup and the salary cap   It isn’t helping 

I had and have serious doubts about Rhule and his staff and about Rhule’s ability to know the Nfl is full of specialist athletes  that do their specific jobs  extremely well   Being versatile is great but it is so much more than that and you just can’t ‘coach them up.

Too, tepper’s made the stadium and stadium atmosphere extremely cold.

There is absolutely nothing special about it and then to have those ‘stadium on field seats’  full of opposing fans…..in an end zone where kids used to get balls after TDs, poor just poor  
 

The music that is played while the players are warming up and piped to the restrooms and other areas is hideous and vulgar and look, I’m no prude but I don’t want to hear WAP and the rest with my family and friends there 

the team store is CMC and the freaking soccer  team 

I try and remember it is a beautiful day  it is a privilege to go the games on Sunday and spend time with my friends   It works…until kickoff 

 

Yeah the turf, the field level suites with 10 rich assholes eating pancakes in front of the players, the end zones, the keep pounding chant probably wouldn't even work at this point if they brought it back.

Another angle on this is the rise of the Hornets. Who wants to go to BOA and watch a team tripping over themselves, when you have a team just up the road in Spectrum, have probably a future Top 10 player in Lamelo Ball, Miles Bridges, Terry Rozier, Gordon Heyward, and a host of other players making a playoff push, because if it wasn't for injury, they would have made it.  NBA tickets are cheaper, and probably these days would be a better game day experience. At this rates the BOA will be half full while the Spectrum Center will be packed almost nightly. Lamelo is to the Hornets is what Cam was to the Panthers.

I am right there with you. After the loss, I started seriously thinking about letting my season tickets go too. I am a proud PSL owner, but after seeing that game, I was was thinking, why am I wasting so much time and money on this terrible team.

I started thinking about selling my PSL’s and just going with App St. season tickets….. at least I could watch some good football

I watched maybe 10 mins of the game last week, was horrendous. Too many other real football teams playing that are way more interesting. Last week was the first time in my life I spent more time watching other games when the Panthers were on. I would imagine if Rhule and the staff are losing faith of the fans, it is highly possible they are losing faith of the players as well. Sad times.

I was optimistic about Rhule heading into this season. We had a good draft behind us, and with one more year of good drafting + key FA acquisitions/trades, I thought we'd be fully ready to compete year in and year out. Now it just feels like someone has taken all the air out of the room and there's no getting it back in. The players don't seem as motivated, Rhule and Brady are getting outclassed by the league's worst coaching staffs, and the whole Darnold fiasco seems like it could set us back several years. I've never gone from high hopes to no hope at all in such a short time. I'll still watch them, but until something changes, it's gonna be hard to get behind this team.

Oh no don’t jump on the Debbie Downer train, u can’t do that!

      Java Burn Reviews: 2024 Analytical Customer Safety Reports

      By faith starr · Posted

      Java Burn Reviews 2024: An In-Depth Look at This Weight Loss Supplement In the ever-evolving world of weight loss supplements, Java Burn has garnered significant attention for its claims of boosting metabolism, enhancing energy levels, and promoting effective weight loss. As we delve into 2024, it's crucial to assess the latest reviews and experiences with Java Burn to determine its efficacy and whether it stands up to its promises.   Visit The Official Website And Place Your Order For The Best Prices Available!   What is Java Burn? Java Burn is a dietary supplement designed to be mixed with coffee. Its formulation comprises natural ingredients aimed at accelerating metabolic rate, reducing appetite, and increasing energy. The concept is straightforward: by adding a tasteless powder to your morning coffee, you can potentially transform your body’s ability to burn fat and manage weight more efficiently. Key Ingredients The effectiveness of Java Burn lies in its unique blend of scientifically backed ingredients, including: Green Coffee Bean Extract: Rich in chlorogenic acid, this ingredient is known for its ability to boost metabolism and promote fat burning by reducing the absorption of carbohydrates in the gut. L-Carnitine: An amino acid that plays a crucial role in transporting fatty acids into the cells’ mitochondria, where they are burned for energy. L-Theanine: Found in tea leaves, L-Theanine promotes relaxation without drowsiness, helping to improve focus and reduce the anxiety that can accompany dieting. Chromium: Essential for regulating blood sugar levels, chromium can help control cravings and reduce the risk of overeating. B Vitamins: The inclusion of vitamins B6 and B12 supports metabolic function and enhances energy production, which is vital for maintaining an active lifestyle. User Experiences and Reviews In 2024, user reviews of Java Burn continue to reflect a generally positive sentiment. Many users report noticeable improvements in their energy levels and a reduction in cravings, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet. The convenience of adding Java Burn to their daily coffee routine is frequently highlighted as a significant advantage. However, it's important to note that results can vary widely among individuals. Some users have reported experiencing substantial weight loss within a few months of consistent use, while others have seen more gradual progress. The variance in outcomes underscores the importance of combining Java Burn with a balanced diet and regular exercise for optimal results.

Potential Side Effects While Java Burn is predominantly well-tolerated, there are some potential side effects, primarily related to its caffeine content. Some users have experienced jitteriness, increased heart rate, or digestive discomfort, particularly if they are sensitive to caffeine. As with any supplement, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting, especially for those with underlying health conditions.

Its blend of scientifically supported ingredients offers a multifaceted approach to weight management by enhancing metabolism, controlling appetite, and boosting energy levels. The generally positive user reviews and the convenience of integrating it into a daily coffee routine add to its appeal. However, it's crucial to maintain realistic expectations. While Java Burn can support weight loss efforts, it is not a magic solution. Success with Java Burn, as with any supplement, requires consistency and should be part of a comprehensive weight loss strategy that includes a healthy diet and regular physical activity. In conclusion, Java Burn remains a noteworthy contender in the weight loss supplement market in 2024. For individuals committed to improving their health and achieving weight loss goals, Java Burn offers a promising, natural option that could potentially support their journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

      Dak Prescott

      By Saca312 · Posted

      Adding on to that - I know I read from some reporter that Dak Prescott's mentality is extremely fragile. Get in his head, and he loses focus and confidence. Per that reporter,  anytime a big game comes up, he starts to have the jitters and hasn't seem to overcome that slump. Dak would be an upgrade over Bryce as things currently stand. But Dak has not proven he can play in games that matters without choking. Bryce hasn't had the chance to show anything in the NFL, so nothing much to say there. But based on his history, he's done well in college in the national championship. Theoretically he should be more confident in big games if he gets to that point. For that alone, I'd rather keep rolling the dice on Bryce or set our sights higher. I wouldn't touch Dak with a 10 ft pole given his choking habits.

      The Untold Story of Xavier Leggette

      By shaq · Posted

      Same here brother, love Xavier I think he’s gonna become a quick fan favorite of the team. He already has gone viral for his country accent, we have no face of the franchise currently outside of maybe Derrick Brown in terms of media attention. I would not be surprised if in the next 4 years Xavier becomes that media darling we used to have in the 2010s with Luke, Cam, Josh Norman, CMC, etc.
