It’s so hilarious how everything I predict ends up getting flamed and then 6-12 months later, people say the same thing. 

Me, Fall 2020: Matt Rhule is the worst coach in the NFL.
Huddle, Fall 2020: Shut up idiot. Be patient. Matt has a plan.

I keep seeing people say this, but where would he actually move them to outside the Carolinas? The pickins are slim.

St Louis? They still have no stadium, have lost teams twice, and probably not the base to add value.

Salt Lake City? No stadium and probably at their limit for teams to split local corporate dollars.

Portland? No stadium, unlikely to build one, and probably too close to Seattle.

Oakland? A dump of a stadium, soon to lose the A's, already lost the Raiders, and the region has moved on. 

San Antonio? No stadium, decent market size when combined with Austin, but the Texans AND Cowboys won't let it happen.

Orlando? Maybe, but FL may be at it's market max.

Louisville? Colts territory likely--and again, no stadium.

Toronto? Maybe--definitely better choice than any US option.

London? Maybe--same situation as Toronto.

 

So it's Toronto or London--and if we hear of them starting discussions with either place, I wouldn't worry as a fan. The government will and give them new digs, but that's the extent of it.

I don’t care what Tepper does 

His nfl decisions haven’t exactly been stellar

if the reports are true, if only he dropped  Rhule as quickly as his little pet project in South Carolina 

I have enjoyed the Panthers in Charlotte but life goes on whether they stay or go

but as far as Tepper as a. Owner and his decisions or his hurt feelings or hardball, my ‘give a damn’ is broken

His little alliance with Germany comes to mind 

the nfl wants to expand to Europe.  Jax has been talked about for years going over to London.  

it would not surprise me either if Tepper went to Germany. More power to him

I don't see it as being a viable solution right now.  Sure the Rock Hill stuff is going sideways, but then again Rock Hill wasn't ready to commit to a project that big and ambitious.  But they will get things worked out sooner rather than later.

Tepper knows that the area is ripe for making a ton of money.  He'll get money from CharMeck for a new stadium.  Moving a team is very expensive and a lot of communities see that the value add of bringing a new team in isn't as great as it has been in the past.  Thanks cheaper 65" TVs.  Right now, the NFL and Panthers are one of the most popular events in town.  Moving out means starting over, and there's just not the market there was 10 years ago.

Why ANYONE would put it past him, I don't know. But I hope that he never does it because fans would abandon his team in droves. 

All the CAROLINA Panthers sh¡t that I've bought over the years...

He wasn't my first or second choice. No loyalty to the region, it seems. He bought the Panthers, but he may not have bought in to Carolina. We will know when and if he does, but he isn't there as of this moment.

Starting over? You mean like gutting your fanbase with unpopular moves, trying to fleece a bedroom city out of money for a new team headquarters, and posturing that you plan to do the same to your home city for a new stadium at the earliest possible opportunity?

Sure looks like Tepper has already crossed the "starting over" bridge.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
