Lol why would anyone care?

Well he was a dude vilified by the fanbase for some good and some just general fan reasons.

I can see why this would be extremely polarizing.

Many of us tolerated Harper but never cheered home. 

I hated Roman after the cheap shot he laid on Smitty.  Then he came to play for us and I liked the presence he brought.  I saw him prevent others from celebrating on us and I came to appreciate that swagger.

Not to mention if you get to interact with him he's a really cool guy.

Its not the red line for me that Brady or Rogers is but I would no longer plan my fall days around watching the Panthers.

[Kentucky Panther]

I just gotta say, especially because I know if you’re posting on an internet message board, you’re one of the bigger fans of the team, nobody here is going to stop watching Carolina play if we get Payton. Especially once we start winning. 
 

This team has sat through failure after failure, this will not be the straw that finally breaks the camel’s back. Regardless of what is posted today.

I didn't want Matt Rhule but I am still here

My biggest problem with the Payton discussion, would be the fact we would have to give draft pick compensation.  Payton ain't worth that.  Let's be real, Payton was lucky enough to have Drew Brees.  Look at what Bellichick has done since Brady left.  ZILCH!!!!!!!  As a matter of fact, why would anyone in their right mind trade for an aged coach?  What QB has Sean Payton developed from the ground up?  Taysom Hill?  LOL!!!

I'll take Sean Payton, Tom Brady, and Von Miller if it means they can get us a ring.

I'm one of them that will. I have the same feeling about SP being part of this franchise as I do Watson.

Man feels like yesterday half the people on the board were bitching and complaining about the saints season where they were head hunting players. Remember that? Or everyone have short term memory loss? 

Yesterday? It was like 11 years ago. I've moved three times, been married, had a kid, changed jobs, covered myself in tattoos, have lost and added pets to the family, and lived through a pandemic since then.

just win baby

Not who I want, and I think it ends badly, but I’d still be a fan.

 If we hire Sean are you still a Panthers fan?

I said it before, and I'll say it again, the only thing that could make me turn in my Panthers fan card is if they move out of the Carolinas. I'm a Carolina Panthers fan. Not a Frankfurt Panthers fan.

[WUnderhill]

I don’t know why it would cause anybody to stop being a fan. It wouldn’t be my favorite hire, but I don’t need to like the coach as a person to root for my hometown team.

Yeah, unfortunately this is my biggest long-term concern with Tepper as an owner.
