I could see Tepper moving the team.

You forgot to add Austin's metro area entirely. It's over 5m combined. If the Panthers are going to consider both states as their media market, it's not even a 90 min drive between the two cities. 
 

 

 

So it’s 80 miles between those cities.

Pretty much the same pop as 75 miles around Charlotte.

If yall are wondering where the team might go, the Austin/San Antonio market is RIPE for a team. Put the team in New Braunfels or San Marcos between the cities, and invest in a train line. Brand it the “Texas Something’s” so it’s not a city specific team, like the Rangers. Jerry Jones would fight tooth and nail but, the market has over 5m people as of now and is predicted to have 6-7m in 2030. The region will get an NFL franchise eventually.

How could I-35 get any worse? This is how.

Tepper is football dumb but he is not money dumb. Even though he has been losing since he became the owner. He has doubled his initial investment $2billion to $4.1billion. David Tepper is not moving the Panthers out of Charlotte. And why would Jerry Jones want another team to come to Texas?

Anyone talking about another team around the greater Austin area needs to understand that as long as Jerry Jones has a pulse it ain't happening.  He wasn't happy about Houston getting their franchise back as the Texans and there was some wheeling and dealing behind the scenes about Dallas retaining TV market rights/shares for a certain number of years around the Houston area.

Anyways, I don't think the team is going anywhere.  We are in the lowest of lows that most of us can remember, but I'll say this:  I am glad my home state has an NFL team - nothing stays the same forever.

No way they leave the atl/dc corridor empty.

 

It is 120 miles from where I live to Bank of America Stadium. I travel to a game down I-85 on game day I see others from my area who have PSL’s. (If they haven’t sold them) NC does have a large tv audience for the Panthers. 
The Carolina’s have been cursed with ownership groups with both the Hornets and the Panthers.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
