Tailgate on Saturdays. It'll be more fun.

I've been to plenty of college tailgates (a couple for NCAA games at BOA Stadium) - and I can assure you that an ECU/State ECU/USC tailgate is superior to a Panthers tailgate in every way. College tailgates are generally better than NFL tailgates.

This is a new one....the panthers and preferred parking in the city of Charlotte banned the tailgate I usually go to because "it got too big." I would assume someone complained we were having too much fun. It's funny because their are always cops right next to the tailgate making sure everyone is safe, and I never saw any problems.

Only in Charlotte would you get yelled at and shut down for cheering for your team. I'm sick of this organization and the pussy fan base.

Bye-bye ....

This organization is top notch. I've never been to a home game but last year at the AZ game Danny Morrison came up to me and my wife before the game and shook our hands and had a genuine conversation, asked what the team could improve on as far as fan experience, etc. He then proceeded to walk around UOP Stadium and talk to every person he saw wearing Panthers gear. Jerry Richardson sent me a hand written letter after I wrote one to the organization last year. Years ago at the SF game, 20 different players, John Fox, and one of Richardsons sons all got off the team bus to sign my football jersey, etc. and thanked me for the cross-country support. We may stick with players too long or give out larger-than-market-rate contracts to our homegrown guys, but this organization is top-notch from top to bottom. That hasn't translated to championships or above .500 records, yet, but I would not want to be a fan of some of these cesspool teams around the league.

I wish I could afford to fly to NC to see a game in person. I'd die happy. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

I too have had a personal conversation with Danny Morrison..when the panthers went 2-14 my older brother sent an email to the panthers.com generic email address. IT made its way to the top and Morrison called him back. He was busy and sick and forwarded the message to me for me to call him back.

I did and Mr. Morrison spoke with me for 15 min regarding fan experience, conerns my brother and I had with the organization (if you remember this was on the eve of the lockout and tons of change in the org). I don't know too many organizations where the team president goes out of his way to speak and garner opinions from the everyday fan. Mind you, we are not PSL owners..so he isn't ass kissing.

Team "president" is a fitting word for Mr.Morrison because that's exactly what he is. He is a NFL politician. I've met him before too, and I won't dispute the fact that he is a nice man. Smiles and handshakes.

Has the team honestly improved since Mr.Morrison was named team president?

His job is to make fans feel like the organization gives two shits about them, so he does his job well because it worked on me at least.

It doesn't happen to everyone. I sent them an email several weeks ago discussing some issues with videos on the official website, and never even got an automated response thanking me for my input.

And no, it was not some stark raving rant. I know how to write and converse in a professional manner.

The organization does a lot of good things, but there is still plenty of room for improvement.

Yep, the guy is as sleazy as it gets. Smiles to your face, stabs you in the back.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
