I will still be a fan, but my fandom may have to be shelved for a while. I've never done that, not in 2001, not in 2010. It's not a fair weather fan thing, it's a contempt for the brass of the Panthers right now. I hope we miss out on Watson, take our lumps this year, Rhule gets fired, we get our franchise QB in the 2023 draft and the next head coach is devoid of final say over roster while Tepper takes a step back from dabbling in football ops.

Cajun rub downs are world famous Deshaun.

Dude, it literally was in the headline. "and on at least one occasion directing a racial slur at an African-American Panthers scout." Again, I gave you the layup...now find me the evidence he was this unfettered racist. You can't. It's a strawman because you didn't like him. People's biases makes them put some really thick blinders on. It's so funny. TWENTY-TWO sexual improprieties is better than one 'supposed' racial slur. Did JR get convicted of this supposed racial slur? Oh, I guess it didn't happen, then.

Based on what? What you will find is many articles with variations of the EXACT same occurrence...when JR was under scrutiny it was "said" he made ONE comment about ONE scout and it could have been implied to be racist. Please, outside that one allegation that was hearsay, provide me with evidence JR was this renounced racist. I'll wait. JR was on the outs with the League and it was a power grab, I have no doubt. Yes, he sold on "his own terms" but he was being forced out. I have not doubt his tenure with the Panthers was coming to it's natural end, but I also have ZERO doubt in my mind if he had the choice, REAL CHOICE...to sale the Panthers on his own terms, David Tepper would have been at the BOTTOM of his list.

Oh, the change. That's right. He it didn't get charged, so it didn't happen, right? Lol. Do I think some of the 22 women were gold diggers? Sure. Do I think all of them are? No. I bet you were one of the completely outraged fans about "jeans Friday" too.

Anyone that wants Watson near his wife or daughter has a screw loose.

I lol'ed at people that thought JR was WAY too involved in football operations and thought Tepper, being a hedge fund guy, would just sit back and let the staff do it's job. Tepper has quickly achieved Daniel Snyder and Jerry Jones status. I wasn't a huge fan of the guy in the first place, but now him and Rhule are equals in the loathed department for me.

I'm saying that now, especially if he comes here. I guess I will take a pause from the Panthers until he is traded later on, Rhule gets fired or Tepper sales the team. I didn't think we'd ever become the freaking Jets, Browns and Bengals of old, but this team is turning into the armpit of the NFL.

I am dude. It won't happen BUT the whole idea of "I don't want to face player-x in our division" in any trade is S-T-U-P-I-D, especially if said team gets the best offer.

I've heard the massage parlors on Bourbon Street are top-notch!

If they actually accept the type of ransom being thrown out there while no other team does? Players end up facing their old teams all the time. I think the whole "we don't want to face him" thing is WAY overblown by any traded player. It projects weakness and distrust within you own four walls that you can't overcome playing against one of your former players.

They should be. But hey, maybe some organizations don't want the stink of Watson hanging over their franchise. Must be refreshing to have standards.

I'm hoping Seattle or Indy steps up to the plate. Indy is a contender and Seattle seems like a more desirable destination than Charlotte.

Tepper is an idiot and is your next Daniel Snyder/Jerry Jones. Have fun guys because I'm checking out if this trade goes down for that ransom...for a dude while cleared criminally, will still be have to go through civil court.

Not paying mine this year. Oh well....

Yes?

No, it means we are almost certainly going to get one of the top 3 OTs. If the Jags drafted one of the OTs out of the gate, we may have missed out at #6

Snyder and Watson should get along great and have a lot of stories to share with one another.

Go Commies!

Pleasssse, please, please, please!!!!!

Time to move on. We need to stop paying WRs and CBs that are easily replaceable.

I think Wentz on a short term deal is our best option. The Colts are moving on, it's just a matter if he's traded or cut.

My next Panthers jersey is going to be 00 and player name Trainwreck.

'Tis but a flesh wound!
