Didn't you see the post about apathy recently? What's one anemic looking win against an anemic team like the Falcons going to change that fact?

Matt Rhule: We're going to have to come to grips with the fact that we're a defensive football team. Sounds real inspiring to the offense huh? As a head coach I'd never say anything like that in public............ and every football team should have to come to grips with the fact that you need an offense line first and foremost for any success.........

season isn't boring in regards to other games and some teams out there...... but the Panthers? Meh...............

1) Transient town.......lots of people with loyalty to their born and bred town home teams....They'll want tickets only when their team is in town. 2) Demographic change.............more Hispanic born per capita than any other city in the US is right here. For them.......football using the feet to move the ball is what the prefer. 3) Young people don't care.................sports are like cars, houses and families to them...........they are losing interest within generations growing up now..........its cell phones, social media and gaming that rules. 4) Aging PSL owners...........win or lose there is no waiting list to buy them. I've worked in marketing in professional sports and have been watching all this since the late 50s ...........so add it all up kids...................and connect the dots..........the apathy for a professional level home sports team is already baked into this town and getting worse. Winning solves everything?...........well is used to........ but I'm afraid some don't even care about that.

Hope sucks.........any time in my life hope was a factor it was over........

Was hoping they wouldn't end up throwing good money after bad..............Watson will be toxic with his legal issues......

hehe......... what a question............. Maybe the question should be how far out do you think this team will be from having a winning season?........or better yet ........two consecutive winning seasons?...... Right now Panthers are in the same boat as the Lions.........

Apple and oranges my friend.............try to accumulate 2.9 B of stock without tilting the spread skyword on the liquidity of the trades over the time it would take you to gather that position..........Tepper made the deal in one strike with an NFL team..........

"Just because you are rich doesn't mean you are smart" Yeah right.................. Market value of Panthers when purchased by Tepper in 2018 2.275 Billion Current market value of Panthers in 2021 2.910 Billion in 3.5 years Tepper has seen a 63 million appreciation on his investment........ Now let's look at the "fan" side of investing their loyalty, time and money on this team during that same period. Panther record through the 1st 7 weeks in 2018 5-2 Panther record through the 1st 7 weeks in 2021 3-4 Now whose is the smart one.............and who are the suckers?

Here's your equation........... Rodney Peat = Sam Darnold > Jimmy Clausen and that's not saying much.........

No NFL team owners are hurting from their initial purchase to the current market value of their teams...........as a result some owners while they would certainly like to see their team win it is not hurting their bottom line. Collectively the NFL team values tend to raise all boats together. That stated Tepper has more value in his investment now than when he started out so....... as long as it stays in the black then winning could remain secondary to his goal of making money as an owner............... On the other hand PSL owners tend to live and die on the record with what they can get out of their investment..........its like the PSL owners took much of the risk with the cost of the stadium being built instead of the owner........ and with this team as it currently is performing...........it makes the losses hurt more for the PSL owners knowing that doesn't help the market value of their investment. An ugly situation for a franchise to be in...........from the fan side of things. Personally, I don't get wrapped up in any sports where it would hurt my pocket book.....if the games are on tv free then I'll watch them or if I get free tickets I might go to a game................but I never saw reason to spend any money on people making millions playing a game.........

Rhule = Joel Osteen with 80 more lbs of fat.

Welcome to no man's land in the NFL..............right there in that "never make the playoffs record" but stuck in lower draft picks too..... Fun fun fun..........ask the Jets and Lions fans about that legacy that is now playing out here............

First press conference I ever heard him speak at when he was hired to coach the Panthers....... ..he sounded like a cross between Mr. Rogers and a motivational speaker........and spoke about football like it was a kids summer. I made a prediction at that time he would last 3 years in the NFL before ending up in college again.......I still stand by that prediction.

Guy is legally toxic.................stay away. Besides.......with no O line his scrambling will eventually get him "Cam-ized" inguries.......so now you have a QB on IR and you are financially holding your ding a ling as a result.

Coaching football is MIT engineering for dumb people.......

Rhule = Joel Osteen with 80 lbs more fat....

O line............I've been saying it for years.................on deaf ears.......... Look at how Mahomes played today and what happens to him with an O line that is struggling in KC. There are no answers in great passer or catchers.........or coaches from Baylor in the NFL. O line is the foundation of the NFL.......... I rest my case............

The combination of a weak O-line..........Darnold's pass reads....... and Brady's play calling??? Easy..........Giants 24 Panthers 20

I know what a lot will be eating after the game today...........

Todays Verstappen will add to his championship lead over rival Hamilto............oh wait wrong event. There is a Panthers game today? I'll check it out during the ads on the F1 race.

Same as the poster comment from last week on the Vikings playing the Panthers........as it will be this week. "here you win the game............no you win it.....here take the ball"

Craig is the type of guy at a party who drops a load inside his pants and keeps asking the women "who farted?"

Big picture..........do something else on Sundays if you think the Panthers will have a winning season.

So is the Rhule and Darnold experiment too...........and the offensive line..............and the whole undersize defense..........
