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...

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.

  • 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.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
