The Rob Lowe team, I like it. 

I have been to a number of these cities that have lost teams. The overwhelmingly majority don't follow those teams anymore, they hate their fuging guts.

The sentiment is completely understandable. That has literally happened to Charlotte already.

would think that I just basically become a casual NFL fan.

That's what I became after selling my PSLs year ago. Almost 10 years as a casual fan, watching 1 or maybe parts of 2 games a week with no allegiance to anyone. Far less stressful, less emotional investment and the ability to see the reality of the league as an entertainment business and nothing more.

Yeah, but the Panthers haven't left..... yet...

I don’t think they will. It's a lot of bluster and not much substance. Plus it sounds like this wealthy idiot is going to get his way, unfortunately.

I still watch the games but it's mainly just fodder for bitching and discussion with my buddies. I don't actually care that much anymore. It's just fun to sometimes put on that angry fan hat in a discussion.

It's interesting how these threads go. There is not a single word from the team or tepper about moving the team.  It's just an assumption by the author, and yet Tepper is getting blasted for something he actually hasn't said. 

Unless something more concrete comes out, this isjust the authors opinion with no basis in fact.

Actually this was going on when JR was still around. I remember years ago when Kerry Collins was benched by Capers some huddlers were predicting relocation. This team isn't going anywhere.

I'm sure the same was said when the Rams left LA. Only took 20 years to get them back.

You are right. At the same time, if I had twenty years to live, and had to do it without the Carolina Teppers? As they have been in the first 6, I could go way longer.

Honestly, he has really given people very little to root for. if you are a certain mindset you loved the trade up. But when that was culminated, you hated it. Most of you. 

If you were of a different mindset, you wanted nothing to do with that kind of strategery.

I think some of y'all would be thrilled if the Panthers ceased to exist as a team...

The Panthers aren't going to move.  The City won't let that happen.  It's too much of a shiny bauble for Charlotte to let go of for nothing.

I think the city would let the leave before they get completely bent over. Reference the New Orleans Pelicans(AKA Charlotte Hornets 1.0) and George Shinn.

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
