I say this every time this subject comes up. 
 

Panthers ain’t going anywhere. Population and demographics dictates team placements, NC is the 9th largest state with  Charlotte sitting within an 1 hour 30 minute drive of many large cities in the area. 
 

team ain’t going anywhere. This is a dead subject.

I disagree.  NFL owners are in a world of their own. It's about their egos.  So if someone from , say St Louis comes knocking, giving Tepper even more money to move the team  ,, ( See the gypsy team of the NFL, the Raiders )   I could see him doing it.  He's not married to Charlotte like Richardson was.  St Louis, Charlotte, what does he care.

In general, I think it's been tough to reconcile that someone that has been so successfull in one endeavor is not in another.  It gives some credence that this is all calculated.  But my take is that Tepper underestimated how subjective managing sports can be versus the objectivity of money. His hubris and ego are digging the holes around him.

I would stay a Panthers fan, I mean it makes the most sense when you think about it. Either A. Stop following the nfl all together or B. Pick another team you have absolutely no passion about or ties to or C. Just stuck with the panthers despite the move, I mean you have a history and story there. 

or D. Enjoy the NFL as the entertainment business it is meant to be. It's a little easier if you like to bet or play fantasy i suppose.

This is getting tiresome. Every time ( and that's often lately) our season goes sideways. Here comes the " Could ---Move  The Team" threads. Sure, but purple monkeys could fly out of my a-- too. But very, very unlikely.

Remember when Pegula was going to move the Bills to Toronto? Lol 

winning stops the panic.

When the hornets moved they were dead to me.

If the Panthers move they should be forced to change names like the Ravens and Titans.

I don't know if they were forced, I think  Art Model was forced.

Pretty much. Felt longer as a teeneager in NC. With no Sunday Ticket it was watch what was on the local TV which was never the game I wanted to see which made it feel like 1988 to me.

Right there with you.  Moved to NC in '94.  Panthers got the team in '95.  A few months later Modell blew up a SB caliber team in Cleveland (not often anyone can say THAT) and I became a Panthers fan.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that like to use their own eyes: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      By MHS831 · Posted

      For a LB that is a long career.  They take a beating.  Shoulders and head.  My favorite LB of All Time--Junior Seau--had a 20-year career--the average career for a STARTING MLB is 5.6 years.  I really think Shaq is done, but if he can play, it does not mean that he should.   Think about Morgan's career--7 seasons.  Luke's career--8 seasons.  Beason played only 93 games over 10 years--only 5 seasons where he played 15 games or more.  The other 5 seasons?  No more than 5 games per.  So basically, the average starting MLB plays 90 games in his career.  Shaq has played 123 games and was pretty injury free until the last 2 seasons (6 games total).
