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.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
