Have You Ever Taken a Hiatus from This Team?

I mean I'm out of market and don't have Red Zone this year (thank god). You could say I've been on hiatus for years now, but they're still my team and I'll check in. But there is zero chance I'll tune into every single game like I used to when I was younger with more free time. If I'm that interested then I'll sail the high season the internet to watch them which is easy enough. But I'll never truly drop them I don't think.

I wouldn't blame anyone for just giving up. Tepper has earned scorn ridicule disdain and then some. He does not deserve people giving his franchise money honestly.

For me I just keep up with the team loosely and remain a fan but laugh at their horrendous embarrassments and keep it pushing. I'm not jumping ship to some other team or walking around here wearing contending teams jerseys. If people want to that's their prerogative but that's not me.

From here I'm just going to see how the Hornets do. They were the first sports team I ever rooted for and the first I ever saw in person. At this point I have significantly more hope for that franchise turning things around to any degree than I do the Panthers.

As long as douchbag tepper owns the team, I'm not supporting it anymore. He's literally the worst owner and its not even close. He has no clue on what it takes to run a succesufl franchise. He's only in it for the profit that he can make off the city of Charlotte. I'm now a players fan. So, I've been taking a hiatus since week 2 this year after crawling back from last year to check out the new *insertquantity* year rental we have for a coach until Tepper decides to fire him too.

I've been a Panthers fan since Day 1. I was working a shift at Food Lion during the Hall of Fame Game in 1995 between the Panthers and Jaguars. I remember checking with customers that came into the store asking if they knew the score. I've followed them ever since. However, times may be changing.

My son and I went to the game yesterday. Being a Bama grad myself, and with him being a Bama fan, we were joking towards the end of the game about stopping by the Team Store and buying Brian Robinson jerseys. We both loved him at Bama, and with the way the Panthers have played over the past few years, I could see us both turning into fans of individual players rather fans of any particular team.

I say that somewhat in jest, but man, it is hard to pull for the Panthers under Tepper.

      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.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
