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".

God damn autocorrect! I remember a correction on a fantasy football site that turned RBs into a post on Arabs. Changed the meaning a bit.

Call his bluff. Not like we would miss 5 wins a year. 

5???? With pillows and Tepper it’s 3. Maybe 3.

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

After what Tepper did the Rock Hill, good luck finding another suburb willing to play ball.

 

I really hope to one day get a documentary or something about what really happened with all of that.

Let them relocate so we can start all over with a new owner.

We wouldn't get a new team

Charlotte would get a new team awarded the same day the Panthers left.  Don't fool yourself

This is dumb. Do you honestly think we'll get another chance anytime soon? If this team relocates we'll probably never get another one.

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.
