Don’t think there are a ton of options for Tepper as he’d have to work with both the NFL and MLS as he’d be moving both teams.

Only city that really makes sense is San Antonio (St. Louis is already getting an MLS team).

I don’t think MLS would go for their newest expansion team in a market they’ve wanted being shipped off. Plus Texas is already kinda saturated with Dallas, Austin and Houston. Hell there’s only 2 NFL teams in Texas

Yeah, I just don’t know where else you could put both teams. St Louis is already getting an MLS team and while Oklahoma City might be an okay spot for an NFL team, the MLS would want nothing to do with that area.

San Antonio is the only city that I could see making sense due to its’ size. But as you mentioned, it’s doubtful the MLS would want a fourth team in Texas when there are better markets like Sacramento, Phoenix.

Team is going nowhere. San Antonio? Cowboys territory? Yeah, like Jerruh is letting that happen.

Oklahoma City--who can't fill their NBA arena? Is basically Far North Dallas? Yeah, like Jerruh is letting that happen.

St Louis? Nope--already had two turns at a team. Portland? Nope--would never build a publicly-financed stadium. Honolulu? Aloha Stadium is a dump and they're limited in public money. Memphis? No, declining population and decrepit stadium. Columbus? Would mean three(!) teams in Ohio, so no. Louisville? Already has three teams 2-3 hr drive away from them. Orlando? Would give Florida a fourth (!) team and puts it less than two hours from two other teams. Anchorage? Just lol. Salt Lake City? Too small and Denver likely says no. Oakland? Stadium is a dump and they may lose the A's--any stadium would have to be privately funded and given local politics would be required to supply thousands of housing units. San Diego? Getting a new stadium, but it's for SDSU, and is small. 

See how ridiculous this concept is? In fact, every available US city has flaws. The only cities that stand a chance are London and Toronto, which any sane person would move a market-size based business to from Charlotte to anyway. The Bills might not like a team in Toronto, but the Pegulas aren't the Jones.

I honestly think if the Hornets had never moved in '01, the thought of moving the Panthers would never enter anyone's mind. There is clearly some type of "team relocation" PTSD happening here.

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. 

I didn't have a history with the Panthers before 1995 and the only reason I became a fan was because they were the local team  if they aren't local anymore and another team comes in, I'm probably jumping to the new team, especially if tepper is still running the Panthers and he's stull doing the same poo  

With the amount of turnover that takes place each team is really just a name, isn't it? The culture is with the group that stays with it the longest, the fans  you take the team away, you take the team away from the culture and you take the team away from the  fans and tou take it away from it's legacy and history. 

And I don't care about the MLB.

Once the NFL is dead to me I am not watching or paying for any sport that a family member or friend isn't apart of the team. 

Moving the team would make the NFL dead to me. I watched the Browns move and never watched an NFL game until the Panthers came to NC. 

Wasn't there a one year difference?

Well obviously if a new team came to charlotte I would pull for them, but what would the likelihood be of that happening

Charlotte has 10 times the amount of banking deposits that Atlanta has...............and within a 100 mile radius of downtown Charlotte there are more people living here than within the same 100 mile radius comparison in Atlanta......

Let that sink in for a minute..........

This isn't true and a quick google search would have provided you with factual information. The Atlanta metro area has a population of 6144050 while Charlotte's metro area has a population of 2204000.

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
