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

Because this thread is dumb as hell.  

So you came into the thread you thought was dumb to talk about something that had nothing to do with the thread?

That checks out.

That's right FAs and high profile trade targets, come to Carolina and get killed behind a turnstile of an OL while half the fanbase and local media accuses you of "not playing the game the right way".

Winning games, winning big games, having an owner who isn’t afraid to spend his money would sure help attract big name players. We haven’t had consecutive winning seasons in our entire history, let’s start there.

I said years ago that Charlotte is a terrific place to live, but not a terrific place to vacation. 

Fair point, especially as it goes to hosting the Super Bowl.

The League should keep it in warm weather places like Florida, California and Arizona...

They’re only pooing on your post because they were wrong.

Im talking about an offensive line of course.

One of the worst parts of being a Panthers fan is hearing other fans complain about the o-line, and then seeing the team do nothing major to address the problem. Season after season it's the same crap.

Wasn't Reddick a FA?

Kevin Greene was.

I believe Eric Davis was.

What level FA was Michael Barrow?

Keyshawn sucked but he was a big name.

 

Who am I forgetting that had a name and came?

Stephen Davis

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

 

Raleigh has actually caught up to Charlotte, only about 50k difference between the two areas. Charlotte fell a spot to 22nd and Raleigh jumped to 24th on recent TV market size. Add them together like the NFL apparently does and it's top 10 in the country I believe.

I don't know that the Panthers have ever valued signing top tier free agents. It's never been part of their plan. 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

if you are a FA and this franchise doesn't offer you stupid money it would be dumb to come here

I believe that you are correct. NFL market size is different that the regular media market size. The NFL market takes into account the number of households that are part of the base for every game regardless of who the team is playing. I think that in 2016 the Panthers were around the 8th spot. Which makes sense when considering that North Carolina alone is the 9th or 10th most populous state even when not counting South Carolina.
