The Browns and Lions have been in existence for 77 and 91 years. That is multiple generations of fans compared to just two decades for us.

The "we're a young franchise" excuse died over a decade ago.

At this point you just have to accept that it's a bad city for pro sports.

The Hornets set NBA attendance records for years before Shinn dicked over the fans. If the Panthers were fielding a decent product and struggling to build a fanbase you might have a point.

Bashing fans who have bought PSL's while groveling at the feet of billionaire owners putting out a crummy product is quite the take.

It’s definitely a pretty interesting hill to die on.

Game days make up about 40% of the total revenue for the NFL (the NFL is a revenue sharing league); God forbid the individuals that have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this team want to cut into Tepper’s bottom line since he’s selling them chicken poo at chicken salad prices.

Turn in your Panther fan cards you pussies!!  Just having flashbacks to Clausen/Pike about dilemma but now it’s the coaches!! We can only hope for a 50 burger on the Panthers so Rhule can be escorted out!!  I will always be a Panther fan go join the Lions or Jags/Browns fan base u weak asses!!

Cool, so you have no problem buying the OP’s families’ PSL’s?

Send your bank info, I’m sure they’d love to get you to the game tomorrow.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
