Mailing it in after 27 years

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!

Carolina Panthers died in 2018. This is the Teppolina Can'thers bro, and its a-ok to not be a fan of them.

This is the literal definition of a bandwagon rider lol .

The suffering has claimed another. Best of luck in your future endeavors!

I do not see a quick fix.  When I see the Teppers now, I think of cancer.

[SOJA]

Completely agree. Tepper is the disease that has killed this franchise. 

 

We will never improve with him as our owner. He's a clueless narcissist that has completely ruined my favorite team.

I truly despise him

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.

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..

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.

See you next week.
