Would you put it past Tepper to move the team?

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.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
