Are you more excited about the Carolina Panthers after yesterday's happenings?

[Mr. Scot]

I actually kind of feel bad about it but yes.

I was growing extremely apathetic about the next four weeks. Now there seems to be a reason to watch.

No.  Hurney is still here.  Until he is gone my enthusiasm is unchanged.

That's a concern for a lot of folks but if you listen closely to Tepper it seems he wants to leverage the best part of Hurney's effort while compartmentalizing or containing him so that his bad issues doesn't bleed through to other areas within the organization.

It seems like the fan apathy just snapped and folks were back being interested in Panthers football again. The Huddle stats from yesterday definitely back that up, one of the busiest days since 2015. 

 

So, do you feel a tingling in your nether regions once again? Are you excited for the road ahead as compared to another year of Rivera?

Yes.  Very excited.  I think this is going to end up being a very beneficial move for the whole franchise.  We were sort of stuck in the past, coasting off of our glory days.  Time to shake things up, get Teppers people in here and wash the stench of Jerry Richardson completely out of Mint Street.

It's still a holdover from the JR era.  In order to truly move forward there should be a purge.  Purge this muthafugger.

absolutely. this is gonna be one hell of an offseason.

[Wolfpack352]

To a degree yes.  However, still nervous about who takes the role......will it be an improvement or we going to be the "new" browns.  Time will tell.

[jasonluckydog]

Not excited cant wait for Jason Garrett or some other loser to be the new HC. 

Carolina has had 4 HC and we fired one who was coach of the year twice.

 

I'm not looking forward to a complete rebuild so maybe in 3 to 4 years we might go to a Super bowl

For all his faults or the previous GM's, they did some good things. It's possible that Hurney has enough valuable input to still be of use. But, obviously that cannot be as a sole decision maker nor ultimate vote.

I'm fine with utilizing him in a role that allows us to benefit. If that isn't happening, however, he has to go.

Who knows, though? He may still be shown the door.

Probably the craziest since 1995 and the literal building of the franchise. The level of uncertainty is nuts.

It's scary and exciting. 

[ickmule]

Not at all. I’m not sold on Tepp, haven’t been from day 1.  It is extremely difficult to build a consistent winner in the NFL and right now we have no real idea who the starting QB will be and not to mention who the coach will be.  

[Navy_football]

Absolutely I'm more excited. Full transparency... I had just deleted "The Huddle" from my Bookmarks not 2 hours before Ron was let go. It's back now. I'm curious again. I'm hopeful again. I'm interested in what the future holds. Exciting time to be a Panthers fan. 

[DubE_4MR]

Very skeptical. He talks a good game but I'm sure all 32 owners don't want long-term mediocrity. Maybe I'll be more excited once all the dust settles.

[CatfanMO]

We get to finally see what a team with a owner that wants to win and a new coach can do. 

[Lucian]

Im excited about 3 to 5 years from  now,  assuming we find the right fit at coach and qb. But the rebuild could be painful and god forbid we could screw it up. The more i think about it, the more i think letting rin go was a mistake.
