Right. Those were my points. Plenty of fans to draw from and while now you’d say they now have a rabbi fan base, it wasn’t much of a loyal fan base when they weren’t winning. Winning is our only way back to a rabid fan base. Pretty much true everywhere. The teams like SF, Dallas, Pittsburgh, GB and KC have had decades of winning. That keeps through some bad years.

We’ve still never had back to back winning years. The Cam led 2013 to 2017 era was our best period. As fondly as some people remember the first SB run, pre Cam we had 4 winning seasons in 16 years. Without Cam we went to the playoffs 4 times in 20 years. with Cam we got 4 playoffs in 9 years which was nice but still not amazing.

Yeah, we are a much worse franchise than most realize. It's largely because we were very rarely bad but most often mediocre. That allowed us to have a fairly good overall winning percentage as a franchise for most of our history.

But....then Cam's arm was shot and it's been a descent into old school Browns/Bengals/Bucs territory. 

Sadly, there is no real indication of any future ability to pull out of this nosedive.

If ya'll think it's bad now, wait until you see a few more of this type of poo. We haven't hit rock bottom yet.

If Tepper moves the team, he moves it

no one would cry…and I say that as someone who loved this franchise 

better yet, sell it to an owner who wants to be here and knows how to not be a child

win win.  Tepper makes money and the franchise gets someone who knows the NFL is what people pay for….and who might see his players as humans, not commodities, and give them natural grass turf again to save their body.

I think it has morphed into a bragging contest about hot women thread. To follow along I will add a fun fact about hot women in Miami.  Be cautious when hitting on 10's in Miami because they are not all 100% female, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yikes. The old tune from the 80s comes to mind "Funky Cold Medina".

I have heard conflicting reports on the following: Can this money be used towards the lightrail/public transportation or not?

In one report I read it can not because that doesn't fall under "tourism" another I read that it can. I feel like that would be the biggest argument against the city giving tepper 650 million. Lightrail needs more stops including one to the airport (which admittedly I have heard is a logistical nightmare)

I've kind of made my peace if Tepper ends up moving the team. I likely won't root for the Panthers anymore it would be nice to just watch the NFL and enjoy it without having a team that makes boneheaded moves after boneheaded moves and continously ruin my sunday

I've never been to Seattle, but I've been to Portland OR and every young woman there looks like Kathleen Hannah in that one Sonic Youth video.  So if you're into that then I highly recommend the pacific northwest.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
