So if you went to your favorite restaurant one night and a sign on the door said 'under new management' and the experience from beginning to end was horrible, would you say the new management was lousy at their job? Would you care how wealthy they are, or really any other thing about them personally? No. You would expect that person to run the business that made it your favorite restaurant and, at very worst, not screw it up! Tepper sucks at running a NFL team. He's a hedge fund guy and should stick to it. This hobby since 2018 is a bit over his head. As for me, yeah, this iteration has been here since 2019. Originally registered back in '03 and have been on Panthers message boards since the late 90's. But yeah, I'm a newbie, lol!

Dude should just sell and go back to hedge funds full time. He's clueless about how to run a NFL team. This is probably an employee gauging the temperature of the fan base for Tepper, BTW. OP, go back and tell your boss that 99.9% of the Panthers fans don't like him. Personally I couldn't stand him day 1. Something about him I didn't like. Apparently my instincts were correct.

2018.

Ward was one of the last shoes to drop, so the 2024 QB draft class is just about set. Has Ewers or McCarthy announced?

He was in the transfer portal, but I guess he couldn't find a good match?

I'm on the i-85 corridor, so GA is just down the road. Yes, Falcons merchandise dominates my area. Sure there are some Cowboys and Steelers stuff...occasionally some Panthers, but they pale to the Falcons swag.

To whom? DJ Chark, Ian Thomas, TMJ and a geriatric Adam Thielen. LOl, you are hilarious. You can't assume the same rate of success on an inferior team. I don't care if Eddie Pineiro single handedly (leggedly?) beat the Texans this year.

We didn't get to keep #9, this year's #1 and to avoid 2025's first rounder they wanted DJ Moore--who is a former first rounder. Not to mention last year's second. The trade was horrible then and utterly atrocious now.

Reciepts: Many more, but this should suffice.

Really, 3 first round picks? Stroud is having a really good season, but the League will have tape on him next year so ther's no guarantee he continues on the same trajectory. You don't make that trade unless an Andrew Luck is sitting there. None, I repeat NONE of the QBs in this past class were considered sure things/generational types. Yes, the trade was 100% HORRIBLE!

WE did not. I hated the trade up to #1 and didn't like the Bryce Young pick. Call me Mrs. Cleo because I saw this train wreck occurring. Not that I take joy in saying I told y'all so, it's more of a relief that I did jump on the badwagon that was on a collision course with a sewage treatment plant.

Yeeeees Mr. Tepper, whatever you say Mr. Tepper.

It wouldn't shock me. *fingers crossed*

I'm a few inches taller and weigh about the same as Bryce. I'd panic too if a couple 320 pound DTs were about to land on top me. The kid has heart, you have to give him that, BUT that will not get you very far in the NFL if that's your best trait. This isn't "Rudy."

Panthers swag was already sparse in SC, but now? Lol, you wouldn't think the NFL had a footprint here. I see more Falcons stuff around here than Panthers. It's not like Atlanta has been anything lately, but at least they aren't the NFL doormat. Also, the Panthers radio affiliate in the upstate is Rock 101.1. The DJ plugs game day broadcast has now affectionately started dubbing the team the Charlotte Panthers. Totally intentional.

It all boils down to this--the NFL is a League of physicality and physical specimens...Bryce is neither. I really shouldn't be any more complicated than that.

Yup, I've been saying this for weeks. Will Tepper? No way. He loves him some Bryce Young.

Like Matt Rhule? No thanks. Harbaugh has leveraged himself into the ideal position at Michigan. He's just got to give up any NFL aspirations. I can't think of a coach right now that I would want to have complete control.

It can always get worse, especially when the leader of the organization is clueless in his capacity.

Lost to a JAG (pun intended) backup and our offense looked lost without Eddie Pineiro bailing them out.

Huddlers a couple of years ago...'Derrick Brown is straight up trash!!!!' 'This is why you don't draft a DT in the top 10!!!' 'His 3-cone shuttle time at the combine sucked!!!' 'Brown is lazy, out there collecting checks!!!' I'm sure there are many more.

I will, thanks.
