At this point would anyone care the Panthers pulled a Baltimore Colts?

none of this matters because it does no good.

nothing is going to change except y'alls blood pressure is just going to keep going up. it's just blind rage that will go no where and accomplish nothing.

It does me good to see people actually loose it like this. It validates my theory that society has infact gone mad and I'm the only sane person in the world.

Bourbon Bob Irsay loved to micromanage the Colts, he didn't have Tep's money though and had a bad relationship with the city his team played in. the whole story on how he got the Colts in the first place is kind of interesting, but too long to post here

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for Baltimore, the NFL was still reeling from dealing with Al Davis and didn't do much of anything to stop the Colts from relocating.

This.  This is why I believe it's for the best if the team just left.  A few years ago, i was terrified at the prospect of losing this team. But now, I don't think they'll ever be successful here.

Traded franchises with Carroll Rosenbloom. Unique transaction. Easy to google don't have to tell it here.

Is it time to just move and start over? Tepper clearly isn’t going anywhere, even with national media now saying the NFL should get involved and get Tepper to sell.  

Just stop watching. 

All this does is give Tepper a new stadium.

You guys are nuts for supporting this idea like it couldn't get worse.  When the Hornets moved we got saddled with a franchise that was much worse than the original Hornets.  Even though George Shinn was a cheap scumbag, we always had competitive teams.  At least as competitive as you could be in the East during the 90's Bulls reign.  It's taken 2 decades to even begin to claw their way out of that.

The Browns franchise that replaced the Ravens was a complete joke as well.  Not sure what you guys are getting at here.  Even in the Baltimore case, it took 12 years to get a new team.

modell moved the colts because baltimore threatened to imminent domain the team

it'd be kinda hard for charlotte to claim "undue financial hardship" for losing an empty stadium 8 times a year. 

Bob Irsay owned the Colts, not Modell

the threat to seize the team had no teeth to it, but the news was enough to set off Irsay, who had been openly flirting with other cities, there was an infamous trip to JAX into a stadium full of fans plied with free hotdogs and beer

No, honestly I wouldn't care if Tepper packed his poo up and left. Honestly, it would almost be a relief.

But you'd care about the billions of tax dollars that would surely be spent to get back into the club. We all know that's what will happen. It happened over 20 years ago with the Hornets and the "non-binding referendum", it happened in Houston after the Oilers left, and while Seattle has an arena ready, they still haven't replaced the Sonics. 

And given his history, we know that Tepper would threaten to demolish BofA on his way out too...probably replace it with free parking lot to stick it to the city as well.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
