Come on. He put the logo at midfield and took away the NFL shield. He also removed Jerry's statue.

Fans wanted those things. That said, those were softballs that anyone could get right. His decisions when it comes to coaches and GMs leave something to be desired though.

I have yet to tip my hat to him for a job well done.  I agree that many fans wanted those things, but to me...they meant less than zero.

Now do it with Google stock.

2.9B would equal about 8.5B.

Apple and oranges my friend.............try to accumulate 2.9 B of stock without tilting the spread skyword on the liquidity of the trades over the time it would take you to gather that position..........Tepper made the deal in one strike with an NFL team..........

"Focusing on the business side of things first."

Not bringing in a seasoned "President of Football Operations" when taking over the team.

2 Carolinas 1 Team

Keeping Ron and Hurney when a need for change was as clear as could be.

Firing Ron and keeping Hurney.  Ron was bad, Hurney is an anchor.

"Sports Complex" more important than football.

Soccer more important than football.

Concerts more important than football.

Building a new stadium more important than football.

 

All around, a disgrace so far...and not a shocking one with the way he started out.

 

All of those things helped Tepper's bottomline.

This is exactly right and back then we could not stream all sports 24-7.

I feel the same. Those were very simple things to do that distracted most folks though.

OK...or do the DOW...you get the idea.

He makes bad decisions with this football team, has since he bought it, and I see nothing slowing that down.

Believe if you wish, but I'm going to use track record vs. hope.

I'm going to have a little fun with this debacle going forward.....(see the new Poll I'm putting up).

Trotting out the likes of Kyle Allen, Taylor Heinekie, Teddy Bridgewater, PJ Walker, Will Greir and Sam Darnold will do that to a fan base. 
 

the last time I cared so little about this team was 2010. Luckily, that led to Cam. 

Just so you know . . . when you look at the combined stats of the QB's who have left Carolina . . . you get:

385 / 572 (67%), 4106 yards, 27 TD, 13 INT

The problem might not be the QB's we trot out, but the team we put around them.  I still hope that the new regime can fix it, but there are definitely other issues.

I'm giving them 3 more years. 

Next off season to fix the O line.

The next season  to get depth right.

Then playoffs every year.

Or Sunday's will turn in to a day for golf.

It's Halloween and I won't be dressing up as a fan, that's for sure.

September and October, the tourists are finally gone and Sunday can once again be a peaceful day on the boat.

I'm trying to figure out what to do with November and December Sundays....Haven't had to worry much about Jan. football with this team in a long time.

[Pimpdaddy]

...feels like the life has been sucked out of this team.... where have we heard that before...

[blackcat]

Same boat.  Our family has had PSL's since the beginning and now I own them.  I just don't care like I used to.  2015 was fun, but this team has had a history of mismanagement from Day 1 until this very day.  My kids aren't interested and if they were, they'd only want to stay for the first half.  I got spoiled last year watching it at home on the my porch and cooking out.

I still like it when they win and still don't like it when they lose, but it's just not important to me anymore.  I'll hold onto my PSL's and give them to customers/employees, but my days at BoA are over unless my kids want to go.

They need to fix this fast. None of this from you guys sounds good at all. 

The huddle IS the fan base. The most loyal and there seems to be no hope among the longtime huddlers.

We've all been through enough with the Panthers to see when things are about to go off the rails and it's apparent to us something is wrong with our organization. 

The flailing attempts at gaining relevancy isn't something we're used to.

There needs to be very serious talks at BofA, losing a diehard fanbase to apathy should be fought off like the plague.

Sometimes you need to go back to what works and form alliances with those who will work with you willingly instead of chasing skirts desperately.
