Your honest opinion: will the Panthers move?


Recommended Posts

2005. I think it was a Sunday night against the Bucs if I recall? The stadium emptied out at halftime and we were a good team. 2008 against the Saints, we only had 2 losses maybe? I bought some lower bowl seats from Cosmogirl and I have a picture hanging in my office that shows me and my buddy standing and yelling on defense and the entire section around us is seated with blank stares. My PSLs are in 529 and that section is decent but I'm sorry, NO OTHER VENUE in the NFL, hell, in pro sports, gets overrun by opposition fans like BofA.

Apparently Dallas' new stadium is nearly as bad.

Bet if the product improved on the field you would see a difference.

You blame the fans but no amount if cheering is going to turn us into a 13 win team year in and out.

this.

when the panthers can turn out anything close to being consistent winners we'll have better fan turn out. right now we have pretty much what you'd expect from a team with less than 5 winning seasons in 17 years, no back to back winning seasons ever, and looking at their 5th losing season in a row.

the panthers have earned the fanbase and fan presence at games they have. when you consistently suck, your stadium atmosphere is going to mirror that, esp. when seat owners are stuck with a crappy investment they don't want and can't sell off without losing money and don't feel like making use of. they sell tickets or give them away to whoever will take them.

bahah such an accurate picture too. Yet some don't want to believe. I know, I have lived here the past 16 years and I know it. I know it because you ever go to a panther playoff game and it's one of the loudest, craziest atmospheres in football I have attended. I hope we haven't lost those fans with all this losing. I haven't seen that atmosphere since 2008.

people are fickle. fans even more so. you win, they show up and you're the greatest thing. you lose and it stops....unless you've got generations of fans like the browns and bills have. by then it's genetic. we've only been around a few years (comparitively) so we don't have the generations of fans showing up. we have no real grand tradition to keep up. the best thing for the next 15-20 years or so for this fanbase (because it's going to take that much longer to build the generations of fans) is for this team to win.

if the team is counting on fanbase support to win, we're all screwed. the only real solution for fan support to get better is for this team to be able to create a consistent winner. none of this once every 5-6 year pull a winning season out of our arse, but consistent....like back to back to back to back.

this will continue until the organization learns that loyalty to players and coaches will only ruin a team...that you have to be more loyal to the organization and making sure that you have the best producing players and coaches or they fail to produce wins, they will be replaced. if players get in the way contractually, kick them to the curb. you decide to be commited to your players/coaches or winning. you can't be commited to both.

fortunately gettleman seems to be the guy that understands this. hurney didn't. it's a business. not a family.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
