The fan base is melting into the ether

As this sh%tshow rolls along, the fans are disppearing (whatever fan base existed.) The team always had problems with out of town fans buying tickets to support various teams (mostly Steelers and Washington fans.)

The corporations buy the boxes and the best PSL's to give to clients. The average Joe may have a PSL for his family and may be struggling to justify the expense. Between the 'vid and the hell of a broken economy of 2019, 2020 on into 2021, many more important things to spend the $$ on.

Curious how many PSL holders are re-considering giving them up next season. How many who buy a few game tickets a season will rethink the purchase. Just feels like the whole atmosphere is going down the sh%tter fast. A few of the wine and cheese crowd with disposable income will still go just to sit on their hands.

I have not missed a game in years.  I'm watching it on TV or I find a way to get my hands on tickets one way or the other.  Pretty die hard, sat through some pretty bad seasons thinking well if we just get a stop here score real quick, get another stop then......you get the idea.  Sat through some really good seasons also.  Last Sunday I got up in the third quarter and went outside to do chores.  Pretty telling of how bad that was and the road I see us going down in the near future.  Ill be around but probably won't go above and beyond to make home games and devote an entire day to panther football.  Least till I see some changes.

This team is the football equivalent of Panera bread. Bland and cold and corporate and definitely not the most exciting place in the world to eat, but it’s located 2 blocks away from the sorority houses and will therefore get business regardless.
 

This team is lifeless and honestly just boring to watch. There is no excitement, no passion, no energy, nothing. I’ve been watching for 20 years and I don’t remember a time where I’ve cared less.

NGL, I thought it was only a very small fraction of the fanbase that didn't like or believe in the Rhule hire and regime, but clearly it was either his hire or Cam's dismissal, or both, but the mass exodus of present Panther fans on Sundays has resulted in BOA stadium becoming a home game for the opponent this year and it has been absolutely embarrassing.

We might have had a smattering of opposing fans over the years, that you could sometimes hear during games, but this season, they are the loudest faction of spectators there.  Against both the Eagles and Vikings the crowd booed when bad calls were made against the visiting team, cheered wildly when they scored, and against t the Vikings, the crowd even started a "Skol" chant.  It's worse than it's ever been.

The moment the Minnesota Vikings highjacked our stadium was pretty telling. 
 

I was in the middle of it…and it sucked.

It started with disregarding the most important player in the history of Charlotte sports, then replacing him with Teddy Bridgewater, and THEN replacing HIM with Sam Darnold. It’s honestly been a shitshow.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      I agree it is more about the OL. If you happen to have a world beater with a great OL then that’s better obviously but you don’t need to have that.  Capable and durable guys that can get to the second level with good blocking can be plenty.

      I think Gibbs is special, but you’re right, some of the top investments have proven to not be much different than some 2nds and 3rds. Taylor for example is on an MVP level season. James Cook is doing better than Breece Hall for example. Raiders weren’t in a good spot to draft Jeanty. Same with the Falcons/Bijan.  You gotta swing at the right time — the investment shouldn’t come too early. You almost have to stumble into a guy mid to late rounds while building or find that guy to put you over the top when the team is finally well rounded.

      Like I said in another post yesterday, the handling of the offensive line by Fitterer and mostly Morgan has been crazy. We've spent way too much money(Lewis and Hunt) to keep Bryce upright instead of using our picks in the 2nd round on JPJ and Frazier. Could have kept an injured Corbett at guard, Brady at swing, and still taken Maye as a backup, sorry Zavala. We wouldn't have taken XL, but XL hasn't been as advertised anyway, and Brooks hasn't contributed anything. Moton's extension with it's signing bonus made him uncutable. Icky's contract was due at the same time Bryce's 3rd year ended, and we all know it's extension or 5th year, and if we're going to do a 5th year, he's going to want the extension.  To me the whole thing is just ridiculous. Right now, depending on if Tepper decides to keep Bryce, it feels like we're going to have to choose between Icky and a Bryce extension. Maybe he plays on the 5th year, but I think he'll want the big money guarantee.  JMO, but if you took a look at how the contracts could potentially fall, the writing was on the wall that this could be a cash flow nightmare. Too many contract guarantees, not enough rookie contracts to offset the upcoming paydays.
