He should.

Because he refused to spend money on a bad product after doing so for so many years?

4 winning seasons in what, 16 years? None back to back. The fans have sold out every game for a large number of years, they have put in their time and money. The Jaguars have had 7 winning seasons and had 4 years in a row of winning seasons and they can't sell half their stadium and are moving. No, the fans tried, but JR and Hurney don't deserve the money anymore. Find me a franchise anywhere in the league that wouldn't be upset at this point? Actually that is THE problem, the fans blindly follow too much.

This is a bit of a fabrication. Our stadium has been empty for 4 years straight unless the Ravens, Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, Bills, Steelers, Saints (before their bandnwagon emptied this year), Bengals, Redskins, Dolphins, Pats, Jets, Browns, Raiders, Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears, 49ers, Chiefs, Chargers, or Colts come to town. Then BofA is full of fans, the wrong fans, but fans none the less. But if the Jags, Seahawks, or Cardinals come to town, that place is half full.

Those people usually route for the Panthers as their second team, so they still count. Doesn't matter, let's just say the CITY has been filling the coffers for a while. It doesn't change the fact that the fans have been here for the team, they have the money, and still we get a inferior product.

And I'm pretty sure if you are a PSL owner you have to buy tickets/platoff tickets/preseason? It was cool the stadium was built with PSL money but it sucks in a way because JR knows people have to buy their tickets regardless.

Maybe we suck by design so that BOA is more out of town fan friendly. I'm sure all the fans from sh!t cities like Philly love coming to a nice city like Charlotte and taking over the stadium and watching their team stomp the home team. It keeps them coming back.

You know what, you might be on to something. What better way to ensure a sellout in a town like Charlotte than to have a home team that sucks? This town is full of bandwagon fans, transplants, and home team haters. What better way to cater to them than to field a product and promote an atmosphere that caters to them?

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
