Fans are not exempt from blame

lol fug off, the team has been trash since Tepper bought them the fans don't owe him or the team anything, team needs to earn it with the product on the field. BoA was electric with Cam and Luke in their primes 2013-2015, 2017

Can't agree with you fully. I've seen too many Bears, Jets, Browns and Dolphins games to go for that. Admittedly, I mostly watch the Panthers, but BoA is the most opposing fan-infected stadium that I've ever seen. If you didn't know the Panthers played there, on any given Sunday you'd probably think it was an away game by listening to the crowd.

I was at the game and did see a lot of purple. Honestly quite surprised to see a lot of Theilan Vikings jersey, whether they supported Vikings or Theilan I don’t know.  I saw a lot of old panthers legends jerseys, smith, Newton, kuechly, even Delhomme. Our current team has no one to root for, we’ve been gutted of talent and haven’t replaced them. I honestly thought about buying a jersey today but didn’t see anyone worth buying for $200. A Chinn jersey? Yeah right get out of here!

Vegas and both LA teams are worse, unsurprisingly based on locations, but all 4 of those teams you mentioned have been in the league significantly longer than the Panthers and over time have built up fanbases consisting of lifelong fans and people who have grown up with those teams over decades. NC is a transplant area which hurts considerably and also a pretty young team so there are much less people who can afford season tickets that grew up rooting for the team. In 20-30 years it will be more equalized, assuming we still have a team here...

I was a vocal supporter of stroud even after the draft.  I think I almost got banned for questioning Bryce after draft day 

Edit: now I read the op lol. Yea you can't expect huge turnouts for fans when you're on your 6th losing season in a row. We're approaching  2000-2017  Browns levels of ineptitude

What a bad take, with how much it costs to go to an NFL game these days, you can't blame the fans for not wanting to put out that kinda money to watch this team right now.

I live in Michigan, the Panthers have only been here a handful of times, there is a 0.0% chance I'm going to the game next week, this team isn't deserving of me spending my money on them right now.

I’m to the point that I don’t even want to watch from my couch. You couldn’t pay me to go watch that garbage in person. Call me what you want, but I don’t owe this team a f’n thing!

My feeling exactly, I don't owe blind loyalty to any sports team, especially one that has 7 winning seasons going on 28 years. This is a bad franchise from the top down that hasn't really done anything special in it's entire existence, fans don't owe them a damn thing.

    • I’m going with Nick Emmanwori as the pick right now. Charlie Campbell has him ranked 5th on his post combine big board and another safety is needed.
    • That is ridiculous on several levels. First of all you have to spend 90% of your cap space every year so the idea you can just not spend it every year is against the CBA. Secondly your job is to assemble the best team you can for the fans players and team. Not to save money for the owner.  Third many players who are considered great underperform while others like Luvu and Jackson have overperformed. What about a  great player like Derek Brown who was injured and missed all of last year. Was he a waste of money?? Sure pay DK a fools ransom and hope he stays healthy. He didn't even get 1000 yards last year which averages out to 60 yards a game or play all 16 games.  And lets be real, Jones and Watson aren't  great but they aren't being paid that much either. Real glad you aren't the GM.
    • Not necessarily, they very well could just be waiting on the players who will get cut in the coming weeks/months as cap casualties and wanting to have the cap room to be able to offer more than other teams (likely our best shot at finding immediate pass rushing help for next year at this point). Also wouldn't be the end of the world to try and roll some cap into next offseason to have more space to go after bigger FA's. That's a better move than signing guys who really won't help much more than whoever else we can get on minimum or rookie deals.
