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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
