Panthers owner to PSL owners: Success “won’t happen overnight”

The only viable way to pull this off is to start a very bad quarterback for 16 weeks. 

That’s really what it comes down to in this league. That’s what happened in 2001. That’s what happened in 2010.

We have some options on that front.

We talked about this on Twitter yesterday: I don’t see any way the team doesn’t start Grier if they dump Cam. That’s a third round pick. General managers don’t like to see third round picks riding the pine. Plus, and no offense the Will (he’s not there yet), that would go along way to guaranteeing a really bad season. 

[WOW!!]

And that is my question to Tepper..

Are you really going to charge ppl regularly prices to watch Will Grier play??

Or is it a better business model to engender some customer faith and lower your prices to watch other teams trash our Panthers...

Allthewhile wasting another prime year of a generational talent at RB.

Oh, man.

Atleast I’ll have the Braves, A&T Football, and whatever team Cam is on to keep me occupied until this “rebuild” is complete. I won’t be buying anything panthers for awhile, though.

Oh, and I’d gladly take years of suckage if we were able to win a super bowl next year.

I'll take Tepper at his word until he gives me sufficient reason not to.

These next several months will be an interesting trial run.

As far as this tanking poo, do people really think he threw all that money at Matt Rhule and Joe Brady just for us to sit on our hands and watch the NFC and our division stomp us into the ground?

We could have kept Ron and co if we wanted to do that.

And at no point in the letter is he even considering giving loyal fans a discount to watch a product he knows might be sub par.. I just think you let poo happen naturally or you do a better job of covering up the tank...

You realize the NFL has rules against taking right? If he gave fans a discount, drafted TL and rose ticket prices, the Panthers would get hit for tanking... The Dolphins were pretty dang close for getting hit with it.

Take the fine then... Worry about your fanbase and financial base above the league... And teams set their prices not the league.. So he can give his fans relief as they support his tanking effort...

This happens all the time.. If a restaurant is trying out a new menu option they give you a deal on it.. They don't charge regularly prices for something they know has a risk to fail badly..

I wouldn't.

Ten years from now, I don't want to be one of those pathetic fans that's always talking about that one year when we used to be good. I'd rather be looking forward to another trip to the playoffs.

Basically, I'm not interested in being the Buccaneers. I'd rather be the Steelers or the Patriots.

Moore did get hurt. Concussion, week one. Started week 2 vs Tampa, and the entire offense was dreadful. Jimmy came in late, had a nice drive, but it stalled out. The rest was history.

Jimmy Clausen getting thrown out for Cam newton in less then 365 destroyed that kids career. He took 14 a$$whippings,  he was never ready to be a full time starter year 1.

even more evidence 2020 will be a complete tank.

Good to hear. Our Super Bowl appearance was 5 years ago and we weren't going anywhere with Ron Rivera. We got rid of him, now Luke retires, Greg Olsen is rightfully cut, 7 of or 14 UFA are over 30 years old. It's the perfect time to rebuild.

You're nuts. I'd trade about anything to have a Lombardi trophy in the Carolinas. If not for the Falcons collapse we would be the lone team in the division without one.
