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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
