The Panthers….. not an attractive destination for top shelf talent?

And it will cure all the bitching, moaning and complaining that people unironically bitch, moan and complain about.

Give us two straight fuging winning seasons, and watch how much nicer this place will be. Watch how much easier free agency will be. 

How is anyone excited about tanking for *insert player*? That poo is not fun.

Why would we be right now?

i honestly don’t believe we have ever been…looking back, Hurney’s fat contracts were a big plus for a lot of guys

not a lot of guys who have options want to play for a pathetic franchise for a fair deal/market value

It's a problem that all Carolina franchises struggle with , The Hornets could have had Kobe , but he outright refused to come here. The Hurricanes also have a hard time convincing big names to come to Raleigh ,they usually have to build from the draft and mid tier free agents ,they will never get Crosby or Ovechkin level talent unless they draft them 

But to counter this Olsen was a pretty big name in Chicago,and he agreed to come here

As a smaller market team we should only be...

This line of reasoning (excuse making) perplexes me...

...the Panthers operate in a very large market and players do not care about "market size"...

...now glitz & glamour do factor in with some players but those "destination" type markets only number a couple in the NFL (really only LA and possibly Miami).

The data in that reddit post is almost a decade old but if anything I'd expect the Panthers relative market to have gained share as people come to the Carolinas in droves and rust-belt/cold-weather/high-tax markets are net-losers on the population front. 

As I think @kungfoodude may have said, winning is what brings them in...

...Boston/Foxborough certainly isn't a "destination" market.

The problem is, there is almost nothing to do in Charlotte. I did enjoy living there, but if you're not a local there's not much extracurricular activities. Let's see, they got Uptown, the WWC, Carowinds.... They do got a ton of breweries... The culinary scene isn't really great... there's Asheville... oh, 4 hours from the coast and the most notable (infamous) is Myrtle.... lol

I guess if an athlete is in to Nascar, they got the headquarters/museum and stuff.

Agreed.
We've covered the "market size" conversation in an number of previous threads. Here's one example:

I said years ago that Charlotte is a terrific place to live, but not a terrific place to vacation.  Things might have changed since that observation, but I don't think so.

      Rico Dowdle is an absolute dawg

      Aggressive runner, hits the hole fast, and runs angry.  Just a few yards shy of the single game record for the team.  Absolutely phenomenal performance.  If the gameplan hadn't become weirdly pass heavy for the 3rd and first half of the 4th quarters he might have been flirting with 300.

      Why is Canalas so pass happy?

      I felt that way before the season started, but I'm sorry, he's already proven he isn't that guy, I don't need to learn anything more about him. He threw the ball 30 times today and could only throw for 198 yards, which was his 2nd best yardage game this year, he's just not the guy. Which means this season has already moved onto the 2nd most important thing going into this season after evaluating Bryce, and that's developing our best young players. You don't do that by only throwing 8 of your 30 passes to your best player who is still only a rookie.  Pepper him with targets and help develop him so he's ready to take a huge leap next year when we get a real HC and QB to get him the ball.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      Every win comes from a non-sustainable source.  As CRA mentioned, Penix absolutely imploding against ATL, and then today, defense finally clicked and looked the best they’ve looked in a long time (and still have up 24 points lol) and Rico ran for 200+ yards.  We’re not going to get that every week, especially against good teams, which neither Miami or ATL are.  Both MIA and ATL are bad teams and Bryce still couldn’t get it together.  The defense (and team) had to overcome 14 points because of his turnovers again.  That was not even an average QB performance.  We are winning in spite of him.
