My fam is from Chicago, Bears fans, but my parents lived in Charlotte when the Panthers began, so grew up going to every game.  First and only team I’ve been a diehard fan of. 

Now I live in Chicago (north burbs), and I gotta be honest, knowing I’ll be here growing my family, it’s hard not to look at migrating to the Bears side haha.

The Panthers franchise is in wretched shape.

I believe horrible ownership is the loophole to escape loyalty, without guilt.

If I leave it will be Tepper, and he is his last chance  right now, this year. I won’t pick another team. Just ignore NFL football.

I've survived Weinke and Clausen. This is nothing.

Watching JR gut the roster in preparation for the lockout made it incredibly hard to be excited for the team.

Somehow, I found a way to cheer for Keith Null and Brian St Pierre.

I'll continue to watch

prolly still have my ticket stubs when they were playing games in Clem

would like to get out of my PSLs, but that has little to do with the state of the franchise, just got tired of the four hour round trip to CLT

my seats are good enough that they usually sell on the exchange

of course it would be more fun if they were actually competitive

I watched a little bit of the first preseason game, but didn’t watch any of the 2nd. This is the most apathetic I’ve been about panther football. I mean, we all know how this season is about to go. We all know they are going to struggle game 1. They are going to be out of sync, and someone within the organization is going to mention how it takes time to gel and get things going. Probably should play your starters some.

Only weak minded people desert their teams. Sure they might poo you to tears but they’re still your team. 

When you have a new owner and he's shown you he doesn't know how to run a team I can't fault people if they find another team to root for.

 

Tepper stinks and so does the team. I'm not wasting my time on the Panthers if they aren't showing any signs of improvement. I missed 8 games last year. If we continue to suck I'm sure I will miss even more games this season.

This does not compare. The Tepper losing streak is longer than any Richardson one

    • awesome interview. Love the guy. 
    • all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
