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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
