Quick Question, be honest

Starting over is for losers.

[Chaos]

I feel no connection to this team.  So much has changed, no player is a franchise cornerstone.  If they left and we were to get a replacement franchise, a la the Hornets, I'd be down.

The nfl is all about stars 

the best of the best 

the panthers have nothing 

they have a midget who makes great dinner conversations

No, no he wouldn’t.

He was a horrifying NBA owner. Probably the worst in the NBA for most of his time.

He would be worse because he wouldn’t even care if we were losing, just like he didn’t with the Hornets. He never cared a single bit.

Well, there was George Shinn...

Well, to be fair, by definition.......

Hard question to hard answer, but Tepper is destroying my love for our team like he’s destroyed the teams culture. Can’t we just boycott going to games until he sells? The only thing rich people respond to is hurting their wallets.

you know, everybody called for Jerrys head, wanted him gone. Be careful what you wish for.  The grass isn't always greenier on the other side.

Why is everyone obsessed with moving the team? Wish for the dude to sell or go full sexual misconduct or something of that magnitude. 

Because it's a chance at a fresh start with a new franchise or at the very least cuts ties to an increasingly bad NFL.

If Tepper leaves it’s a fresh start regardless. We lose more than we gain with the team moved. No guarantee for an expansion. Different branding. All your memorabilia is useless. Tradition out the window. 
 

We might not have much of a culture of winning in the Carolinas but team identity has many roots. Doesn’t make sense to chop it all down.

The Shinn and Jordan eras are far apart in terms of success.

• Tepper isn't selling the team. He bought it to be part of a very exclusive club, which strokes his ego.
• Most people have already given up on the team since it has been so bad every year he's owned it, so if Tepper moves the team, we really don't lose much.
• True, there is no guarantee for an expansion, but if the NFL wants a team here, there will be one, even if it's another team that moves instead of a fresh start.
• The branding being different can be a very good thing. Most NFL fans know the Panthers are a mediocre at best team that has become straight up terrible under Tepper.
• You'll still have your memories, so any memorabilia you may own won't be useless. And any monetary value it has may actually increase.
• Whatever tradition the team had is already out the window.
• The team isn't that old as far as pro teams go and it is located in a transplant city. The roots aren't deep at all.

I foresee darker days ahead there’s no light at the end of this tunnel 

[Purrnicious]

Anyone that doesn't believe this winds up with us getting an even worse franchise, ala the bobcats, is kidding themselves. 

 

Most likely I would stop watching the NFL entirely the same as I did for the NBA when the hornets moved.

If we had the option I would take a usfl or whatever league team over this bullshit. Tickets would be 10 bucks and the product couldn't possibly be as bad
