Would Tepper bite and pull the moving vans up? Do you have faith in him not bugging out?

Seems clear that Charlotte and NC doesn't want to pump $$ into the Panthers to help finance anything.

When the threats start to relocate, how would you feel?

Sacremento, Portland, San Jose, St. Louis, San Diego, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City are all threats but I don't see the team moving. Those are all lateral moves.

That said ... what's up with so many of those places starting with the letter S? Weird.

Eh, I don't see them moving regardless. They'll all strike some bullshit deal in the long run. Tepper would also now have to move two separate sports franchises and all that entails. If he does move, good riddance.

NC is currently 9th in population. Right behind Georgia. There is no way the NFL will allow a market like that to go without a team. Really bad for business.

Tepper is stuck here whether he likes it or not.

Yeah right the nfl and the owners can do whatever the F they want. He’d move the team to Eastwatch by the Sea and nobody would stop him from the league.

I agree for everyone except San Jose (though it would seem like the 49ers would have it on lock). The city has enough TV market share and money to make things interesting.

Tepper isn't stupid. The Carolina's are one of the fastest growing spots in America. Especially within the tech industries. Between the Charlotte and Concord area and the Triangle and many large metropolitan areas. There are many states left that can match what the Carolina's offer. The idea that we are a small market is crazy to me. Tepper wanted to be here for a reason. He isn't stupid. He will get what he wants and keep the team here

I mean, the largest markets have multiple teams. SF has the Giants and Oakland has the A's in MLB. That area could easily have a second NFL team ... hell, they did when the Raiders were there. I think SF, Oakland, San Jose, and Sacramento could have two teams between them.

I felt the same way when people first started talking about the Chargers moving to Los Angeles.  That was a dumb move, and it's still a dumb move.  The chargers are an afterthought in their own stadium.  

DIdn't stop them from doing it.

Same letter that starts with the word poo. And then portland is poop.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
