My only hope is that eventually other owners will realize that Tepper is actually hurting their profits and force him to sell. I know that hope is slim to none in actually happening, but it's all I have left. 

the only scenario I can see is he gets so annoyed with not getting his way here and the fan base has totally turned on him that he moves the team a'la Shinn

I agree with this.  But first I want the panthers to lose the rest of their games to go to 1-16.  I want Tepper to wear the label of having the worst record in panthers history and one of the worst teams in nfl history.  Then maybe he will be able to see what he really looks like in the mirror. Until then, we will continue to suffer

And don't forget he will not have the number 1 pick at the end of it all to try and build on

I lost interest during Covid when I could stay home, eat my own food and drink my own booze for cheap.  I have watched about an hour of Panthers football this season.  Heck, I haven't attended a game since before Covid.  I sold my Dallas tickets and paid for over half of the season and gave the rest of the tickets away.  I drive to CLT everyday for work, I'm not going to add another trip on the weekend to support Tepper and the 'product' on the field.

The games aren’t the same as they were under Richardson. Even when we were playing OK. Not as many families, less people wearing Panthers gear, more fans of the other team. We had really built something special 10 years ago, Tepper destroyed it. Now we have the worst team in the league by far, no #1 pick, not as much cap space to work with, no coach, stuck with a small QB the other teams clown, literally no hope. This is rock bottom.

I’m in Maryland now.  Was wearing my Panthers gear the other day at the grocery store.  Old lady came up to me and said she’s from Charlotte.  I pointed to my shirt and said “we suck”.

She said “we don’t suck!  I haven’t watched them in 30 years.”

I said “ma’am we haven’t even had a team for 30 years, but you haven’t missed much”.

Bless her heart (it’s a Carolina thing).

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
