Great memories going to games with the old man. Having Tepper people are just dreaming, just to many good people in the NFL for this to work out. I realized if my sone was going to want to go to games much less have fond memories I had to move on. With new owner and QB we went to Wash game yesterday. My son already loves Daniels and wants to go back. Mission accomplished. Of course I will hope from afar.

No, it is not worth it with Tepper as the owner.  I had faith in JR and this is what kept me around during the dark times.  I'm actively searching for a new team and don't feel guilty about it.  However, it is not easy to walk away from 30 years and I keep coming back to this dumpster fire for some sad reason.

I might have to, as well. 

I'm not asking for a superbowl every year. I'm asking for them to respect my time. I'm asking for competency. We've progressively gotten worse over the past 7 years. No sign of getting better. Tepper has killed the culture that took 20 years to build. It doesn't even feel like the same franchise. It's a mockery of what used to be. 

And I still tune in each Sunday for some dumb reason. 

I'm a home team kind of guy. I'm not sure I can truly root for anybody else. I've endee up rooting for individual players like Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen. Or w/e is on my fantasy team.

The part that is so irritating to me is if the Panthers would have just kept their good players and stayed at pick 9 . . . we would have Levis, CMC, DJ Moore, Marvin Harrison Jr (or Caleb Williams), and Diontae Johnson.  These are elite playmakers and I'm not even getting into passing on two 1sts for Burns.

I've been with this team since day 1, but lately my involvement consists of posting here, and watching them when they pop up on Red Zone (which isn't that often). Super Bowl 50 was a huge gut punch, and the Tepper regime has been a disaster. I'm at a Hornets level of caring, right now.

And the older I get, the less important any of this seems.

Not going to watch any more but I will say the only thing keeping my fandom "flame" from guttering out is I think Canales is the real deal. My only hope is he can keep the locker room together and get his QB next season, but I am worried being forced to start Bryce will be the snowball that starts the avalanche in the locker room.

I’m still a fan. The only NFL I watch is the Panther and Bengals (one of my former basketball players plays for the Bengals).

 

I will watch the games unless the weather is good to go fishing. In the past, I’d watch no matter what. I’m not buying any gear, not even a pair of socks, until we move out of the bottom 5 most poorly run franchises in professional sports.

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
