Drastic change with new owner- would you still be a fan of this team?

[Chardee MacDennis]

Let's assume for a minute that the new ownership group decides to legit clean house. Fire Hurney and hire a new GM with a plan to blow it all up and start a rebuild. Fire Rivera and company, across the board. Cut or trade every player over 27 years old for picks or younger players. Trade Cam for a stockpile. Draft one of the Franchise QBs this year with a pick from the Cam trade, as well as a true LT to protect the new guy. 

Sign someone like Alex Smith to start for a year while the new QB learns the ropes.

Keep only the young players with big potential, and sign some vets in free agency to short term deals. Draft with the goal of being SB competitive within 3-4 years when the current youth on the team is in their prime, and the new young QB has some years under his belt. 

Go grab 3 of 4 Alabama/Georgia Offensive and defensive linemen over the next few years to end up with the best OL and DL in the league. 

Etc etc you know what I mean.

If this were to happen, and the Panthers were destined for 0-16, 1-15, 2-14 records for a few years, with the expectation that they will have a rebuilt franchise competing for years in Super bowls with brand new stars on the team....

Would you still be a Panthers fan? Or would you walk away?

No one would go that far with this team. 

[top dawg]

I will always be a Panther fan,  regardless if dumbasses own the team. 

[t96]

That would never happen. 

[Udogg]

Damn. it's offseason thread time..........

[Jon Snow]

I have stuck with them from the time they became a reality.  I'm here for as long as I'm above ground.  Ride or die.  

I may have to break out a paper bag to watch them if this scenario unfolds.

1. Hence, "let's assume..."

2. You didn't answer my question. 

[Panthercougar68]

I love the Panthers...but we deserve everything we get if we get rid of a franchise qb just because the owner wants to show how big his....ego....is.

[Lumps]

You need to remember at least half this fan base comes from  after 2011 when Cam was drafted. We will lose this when he is gone.

Unfortunatley, the Panthers actually have a very small true fan base based on observations pre Cam.

[Billy Love]

Panther for Life here for sure. Think about this, things can't get much worse than we've already endured. 

[LinvilleGorge]

There is zero chance new ownership would do that. Especially trading Cam. It won't surprise me if new ownership dictates an approach of building around Cam seeing that they have a guy who should be one of the if not the biggest star in the NFL on their roster. It's a waste of his star power to continue with this slow paced ball control offensive philosophy that values TOP over all else.

[NeederNodder]

Ride or die fan but I would more angry at the owner than the "new" Panthers team.

I actually like the plan, good job

2-14 or one wild card game and done

both are home now for the season

At least the scenario you describe has a happy ending
