Hurting jerry where it matters most.

All these post regarding ownership has got me thinking. Is there a way to hurt jerry where it matters most to him?

Seems like jerry has us over a barrel with PSL's. The city (us) is/we are paying for renovations for his stadium. It seems the more the panthers suck, the richer JR gets.

This isn't a rhetorical question. Is there a way to hurt jerry in his pocketbook? As a fan, I feel that we have no power and no voice. Jerry needs to know that this poo isn't working for us.

I have a feeling that this wont change until jr kicks the bucket. And with a brand new ticker, he'll probably outlive us all.

The problem in Charlotte is that even when Panther fans don't show up to the stadium, tens of thousands of opposing fans happily do show up to fill that void. So the impact is hardly felt except when the game starts and the home team is out cheered.

I'll say this again as I've said in other threads about "boycotting" the team.  It's not going to work.  Charlotte is a city of transplants from other cities.  They are still fans of the teams from their hometowns.  If what little Panthers fans we have stop going to the games, these transplant fans will gladly fill the stadium.  Every Panthers home game would become a home game for the opposition.  Remember the 2010 game against the Ravens?  The stadium was purple, and after the Ravens scored, the TV announcers commented "It sounds like a Ravens home game!"

 

Jerry Richardson has no reason to support his fanbase and put a winner on the field because of this reason.  Tickets will be sold regardless if they are to Panthers fans or not.

That kills me, I fuging hate that.  If something so stupid as a football game could break my heart, that's pretty close to it.

Ticket sales are pocket change to NFL owners; they make their money off TV revenue. 

 

I feel for folks that are PSL owners, but if you aren't happy, let them go.  Continuing to spend thousands of dollars every year just in the hopes that you will recoup your investment isn't very smart.

Do they still get their revenue if the game is blacked out ? Serious question.

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
