I will continue to watch games because I am still a fan. As you said, the butts in the seat is such an insanely small portion of the NFL profits that it isn't relevant at all to Tepper's bottom line.

But, us not showing up will at least further embarrass him. Perhaps we will get some more incidents of him being heckled in his box by all the opposing fanbases in his stadium.

And hopefully he will do something worse that will force the other owners to agree to make him sell. Very wishful thinking from me unfortunately though...

That's a LOT of drinks to spill...

For me, I'm still a fan.  I just bought a new Panthers hat on Saturday.  This has been my team long before Tepper bought it, and it will continue to be my team after he's dust.

It does suck that the team is so bad that my son is not interested in football at all.  But he's 12 so we all know his interests will change over time.  I didn't get rabid until I was 16 or so...

He won't but he is also a success driven egomaniac, so this will all hurt him. 

This is the one small glimmer of hope we have is that he doesn't appear to be happy about failure.

Snyder didn't want to fail but he meddled because it "wasn't fun" if he wasn't intimately involved. Guys like Modell were notoriously cheap. Michael Jordan is the perfect example, as he was never interested in winning if it cost him a dime of this money. Jerry Jones always believes he knows best, so he will never stop meddling, despite almost all his true success being authored by a far more knowledgeable football mind. 

So in that regard, perhaps we have a leg up on some of these scenarios....in theory. The question is whether he is capable of learning the NFL(doubtful), whether he is capable of eventually backing into a talented architect of a successful organization(doubtful) and maybe most importantly, if he can keep his hands off the product IF we do finally get the right building blocks in place. That last one seems highly doubtful. He amassed his fortune by doing his own thing and running it on his own. So all of his success has been defined by him being "the man." I don't see that being something easy to deprogram, especially for someone that is in his age range.

    • I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built. 
    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
