That’s it for me. Been a die hard fan since 1996. Tepper broke this franchise. He wiped out our identity. Him and Nicole meddling with football operations destroyed the immediate future of this team. 
 

I spent tens of thousands of $$ over the years flying in from Germany and later Canada for games, home and away. Stayed up nights for prime time games. Just sat in my seat during the heavy downpour in Tampa last week, when 95% of the crowd went inside. Was trenched like never before. 
 

I never thought this was possible, but I am cancelling the Panthers with immediate effect. I will find a team that gives my family and me joy on Gamedays. Thanks David and Nicole, you probably have no idea what you have done to thousands of fans like me. 
 

To the Huddle, all the best!

Eh, when prefaced by 27 years of diehard loyalty I think not. This is like getting a divorce after the kids go to college and playing the field a little. 

Id get it if he said he was done watching NFL lol. But the switch to another team that makes you happy makes it weird. Like do you just bounce from team to team each year based on if they are winning? You arent going to be happy while losing

Panther fan from across the pond since 2007.

Have no ties to the carolinas, so i've been thinking of myself as a 'free agent' fan since early this season, but i keep coming back to this board. 

I've switched to RedZone, and no longer care if I miss Panthers games. Hopefully this circus will turn around in a 3-4 years time..

Been a fan over 20 years. Will never pick a new team. Most likely just not watch NFL anymore.

Maybe someday Teppers will find a new toy, until that time. I´m out.

Iirc you’re from Denmark, right? I swear I was one of the first Panthers fans in Germany back in the 90s. Moved to Nova Scotia / Canada in 2015 and there ain't many Panthers fans here either. 
 

This is super hard for me, but enough is enough. I love Football too much not to watch it any more and I can’t watch a game being indifferent. 
 

The Huddle has been great over the years and I will miss some of you, despite I never posted much.

I hear Steve Wilkes is rumored to be a head coach candidate again this year. If he gets a HC gig I’m going to start cheering for that team. There’s no hope for this franchise.

      That's certainly what we hope but c'mon... stating it as fact when he's never played a down of NFL football?

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
