I can't imagine why or how this could be a good thing or necessary. 

I mean what is to be gained? Try to turn public support away from Tepper and the Panthers? To what end, maybe get his job back? 

I just don't understand the point. 

They're bringing their dog, so they'll probably do some promoting for the Humane Society and say nice things about Charlotte and that's about it. I'm not expecting anything controversial, you don't bring the wife and dog if that's your intent.

Call me after we finish 4-12 for 3rd time in 2022.

I’m sure it’s just a farewell to the fans and thanking the community for all of the support type of deal. I think it’s important to them as part of their character they show as much appreciation as they can for everyone who supported them. Also good for the station as i’m sure plenty of people will tune in.

Agreed.  Also a lot of Panthers that have had their career made in Charlotte, stay in Charlotte.  Smitty, Olsen etc..  I think the Riveras are just trying to sow some good will and lay the foundation for a long future in the community.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
