Fly Over: Would this happen or is this fanbase too far removed to care?

The last time this franchise was in this much despair pre Tepper, the rumors of the banner flyover were met by the front office. They quickly worked with the disgruntled fans to quell any potential negative event occurring at the Stadium or TV.

The real question is do we even have enough fans that care to get together behind a movement like this again or is our fan base too far gone that we dont care to revolt like this?

Personally, I still go to games each year no matter how terrible it is, but it has went from something I spent all week looking forward to almost as enjoyable as yearly physical. We can count the blunders this franchise has made in keeping Head Coaches, General Managers and players too long. (Rivera,Rhule, Hurney, Fitterrer).

Team wise we've missed out on Herbert, we didnt trade Burns for 2 1st round picks, we reached by taking Bryce who would have most likely been were we were going to draft anyway, and extended players who constantly underperformed like Ian Thomas. Even when we are gifted a chance like 2 first for Burns that we shouldnt have paid premium, we fumbled a chance to really jump start the franchise.

So this is more to everyone as a whole. How much of your Soul for this team is left? Is it still there that if there was a glimmer of hope, you'd come right back or has the futility of this team negated your love for football completely?

I’m pretty much checked out at this point. Didn’t really get sucked in by the usual pre-season hype and was expecting us to lose early so I’m not shocked by the 0-2 start. Would I show interest again if they turn things around? Sure I would. I love this team and want them to win, but they aren’t worth the headaches they’ve caused over the last 7 years.

Thing is you could threaten that and Tepper wouldn't care cause it's not soccer. "I'm convinced he bought the team just for the stadium and to be able to do soccer." lol

I think he did it just to see if he could try an algorithm for running football while watching his investment increase in value while having to do absolutely nothing to be successful. We just happen to be the unfortunate fugs who got stuck with Diamond Dave.

David Tepper is a Hedge Fund guy. If you know anything about money and finance, you know that the owner of a NFL team being a Hedge Fund guy is not good for the fan base.

Tepper will LITERALLY have to go against what made me Billions to turn this franchise around. I dont know if his ego is small enough for him to do that...

You've got to have a huge ego to be a hedge fund guy. 

 

It's the size of the Carolina's.

The Panthers cost him $2.275bn. He's rich, but he didn't buy them just for a run-down stadium to play 'soccer' in.

This is a score for someone. Go through the motions of getting the banner and renting the plane. Leak the news and wait for the buyout offer.

He is a hedge fund Manager and in 7 years despite being AWFUL his $2.275 Billion dollar purchase is now worth 6.4 Billion dollars hes not far from tripling the investment.

      Canales is in most critical point of his tenure

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Canales is in the middle of the most critical point of his Panthers tenure: The 2nd half of the 2nd season. Looking back here is how the other head coaches performed to this point and how their time here pivoted. Dom Capers First 26 Games: 13-13 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (1996) won final 7 games to win division, took Panthers to NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 30-34; NFC West Division Title-1996 George Seifert First 26 Games: 12-14 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2000) Finished 3-3 with mixed results in games; finished 1-15 the following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 16-32; None. John Fox First 26 Games: 15-11 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2003) corrected the season after a strong start and mid-year stumble to win division, Won NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 73-71; (1) Conference Championship; (3) Playoff Appearances; (2) Division Titles. Ron Rivera First 26 Games: 8-18 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2012) Won 5/6 remaining games; finished 12-4 following season and won division. Final Record/Accomplishments: 76-63-1; (1) Conference Championship; (4) Playoff Appearances; (3) Division Titles; (2) COY Awards Matt Rhule First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2021) Lost final 7 games in a row, terminated 5 games into following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 11-27; None. Dave Canales First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: TBD Final Record/Accomplishments: TBD The writing was on the wall at the end of Rhule and Seifert’s 2nd season, while Capers, Fox, and Rivera all finished strong and rallied. To be fair, Capers 1997 and 1998 seasons weren’t great, but he was faced with adversity and still managed to leave with at least one successful season...thanks to the second half of his 2nd season.

      Honestly unless the Packers WR in the end zone was disqualified from tackling, he was literally right behind him ready to tackle him at the 5 yard line. Probably better he dropped it field position wise unless people think Mike Jack has Ted Ginn speed or something.
