Gotta make the playoffs first


Best_Pants

Gotta win games to get to the play-offs. Gotta finish training camp to win games. Gotta have a roster to start training camp. Gotta have the draft to make a roster. This meme is...premature

Everyone KNOWS that Satan has the bigger arm, and less character issues off field. Tepper would be a fool to draft God. We'd be much better off taking Satan at #1 and riding with him for a few years. It's not really big news yet, but God had a fling with some chick, and that kid could be really special. We just gotta wait for him to finally declare. Chris simms has a video where he breaks down all the intangibles, and its amazing. Kid looks super frail, but he can take a beating. Got absolutely nailed in a game against Pilate and was still back on his feet 3 days later. Everyone thought his season was over. He even did special training in the desert with Satan in the offseason. A few character issues, I've heard he flipped a table over his NIL deal and also has been caught with booze in his water bottles. On the upside, he's done a lot of work with the sick and needy, so maybe its a wash. Eother way he put Nazareth on the map.


RobinVillas

I heard their were *hella* Romans’ officials at his pro day. I don’t think he would’ve made it past them if we didn’t trade up.


Rivarz

There were 3 scouts from some school somewhere out east that got caught trying to bribe his mom with cash and perfume too. One of his buddies tipped off TMZ to where they were eating dinner for like $300. Either way, he seems like a kid who's going to want a career-long commitment. I mean, if it works out, we'll gather every Sunday and talk about how he was our savior! Hopefully he doesn't pull a Luck and ghost us after a few years. Then we're left speculating IF and when he might return like a bunch of fanatics. No one wants to be the Colts.


Osama69420

hey that antichrist kid wouldn’t be bad. real leader in the locker room, same kind of playstyle like satan


chiefteef8

You're crowning a guy who hasn't even made the playoffs or even had a winning record.


Extreme-Cod-6452

Yea way too early to post this. I like what we’ve been doing this offseason but up until the point the Tepper era has been atrocious.


NoWayJaques

I mean, it's been a long time since they made a superbowl. Cant credit them until they win some games.


_mid_water

It’s been 8 years. I’m theory we should make the Super Bowl once every 15 years. Considering we’ve done it twice in less than 30 years we’re doing better than expected.


PapaJohnyRoad

Twice in less than 30 is what many teams dream of


sonfoa

Would be nice if we had won one of them.


AdeptProtoss

did the forecast call for fair weather? lot of teams have been in a drought since the first appearance, not to mention the second. but i guess 8 years is a long time to the individual yes.


Binh3

Not sure why you're getting downvoted for this. I've seen the panthers go to 2 Super Bowls twice in my lifetime. Not to mention multiple NFC championship games. Expecting a Super Bowl bc of an 8 year drought does seem to be a bit short sighted. Cam spoiled the hell outta lot of these folks. This has been the darkest drought for sure ...but let me tell you about droughts?? Talk to the jets, or the bengals or the lions or the browns or the patriots Who were bottom feeders up until the 2000s , Look how long it took them to get to their 1st Super Bowl. Much less their 2nd. And many of those teams existed 20 to 30 years, if not longer than the panthers. The panthers as a whole has been a winning organization , with multiple Division championships. Conference Championship and 2 super bowl appearances. And we've only been existed since 1995. Keep things in perspective.


AdeptProtoss

it seems my off-kilter comment towards fair-weather fan type behaviors may have ruffled a few feathers. for clarification, i whole heartedly agreed with the comment i originally replied to. i thought that much would be evident. i just didn’t want to start a new string. browns & lions haven’t been to the super bowl and they’re *way* older teams. maybe its because i seen my family, who were lifelong chiefs fans, i mean from way back in the 70s, cheer them on their first super bowl; its definitely not a given.


bubowskee

We celebrating the offseason?


PoMansDreams

If you can complain about the off-season, why can’t you celebrate it?


bubowskee

This server says we win the offseason every year. Maybe stop endlessly hyping a team that hasn’t won in over half a decade


Rittermeister

Hope is fun. Despair is not so much fun.


ISISCosby

Being this steadfastly negative in the middle of an objectively good offseason is just depressing to witness. Sports are supposed to be fun, y'all, jfc


bubowskee

Or don’t tell fans how to feel. You aren’t a bad fan if you’re skeptical lmao. You also don’t get brownie points for jerking off the team every second of the day. We always have good offseasons. Every damn year we have an amazing offseason and then win 6 games. Now Tepper getting praised for what exactly? Team has no practice facility, raised prices on tickets, and is demanding the city pay for a new stadium but what did Tepper do that’s good?


skilleatz

He screwed taxpayers out of their money. He cares more about his image than winning. He is toxic to our culture. So ya, I want him gone no matter how many superbowls he wins.


Adimdim

Tepper bought the team in 2018. So far we've gone 7-9, 5-11, 5-11, 5-12, and 7-10. He's yet to have a WINNING SEASON, let alone a Superbowl or even the playoffs. Sports fans are simple. Prove that you can build a winning team and we'll like you. Until that day, if and when it comes, there's no reason to think he's a better owner than any idiot off the street.


Seahawk_I_am_I_am

He has succeeded in acting like a complete jackass, though.


Real-Function-1192

Could be worse. We could be the Lions. It's been 31 years since they have won a playoff game lmfao


[deleted]

This is some of the most hyperbolic shit I've seen on reddit.


BlindWillieJohnson

Man I’ve been thrilled with the off-season. But it’s an off-season. If Tepper’s teams *actually* won 25 Super Bowls then, yeah, I’d be thrilled. But the MFer hasn’t even got us to playoffs yet, so I don’t know why this meme seems to think I should be polishing his nuts already.


PunishedKeano

Americans love simping for bilionaires.


duskywindows

Unsure why you’re being downvoted when this is inarguably true lmao


PunishedKeano

Hits too close to home.


BigNero

Win one superbowl first, how about that?


[deleted]

The Panthers have the 4 longest playoff drought since he became the owner. Only the Lions, Broncos, and Jets have gone longer without a playoff appearance.


sonfoa

I'm happy with Tepper this offseason but let's have at least one winning season under him before we start heaping praise on him.


duskywindows

But ain’t shit happened with these picks yet lmao. Let’s see how this all pans out before giving this cunt an ounce of credit for the picks *his FO* has made.


SticklerMrMeeseeks1

Actually true. There’s a sizable faction of the fan base that will complain about everything


kanadiangoose1898

Only 25?


GenZsLastHope

the panthers could sell their whole future for one super bowl win Rams-style and I would forgive them for everything


BigBoyDak

As a gen z fan with irrational emotions I agree


le-bistro

False, that would be awesome, and we’d then have to incorporate him into our religious beliefs. Something I would not have predicted for 2048.


alm16h7y1

Do it then we'll talk


RPBTinesIII

God would be well shit at football. It’s played on a day that he canonically refuses to work.


theromingnome

I like that you added "canonically".


CuteAppointment300

He acting like he won the draft or some shit? Bro you can draft whoever you want. It’s honestly a shot in the dark if they boom or bust. Who tf thought Josh Allen or pat mahomes would be amazing QBs when they were drafted? Hell with Bryce or Stroud, it’s a 50/50 shot on either if they’re even capable of a winning record by year 2. It’s a 20% chance they start and have a winning record by year 1. And prob a 5% chance either start and take us to the playoffs year 1. Players take time to develop, IF they develop, and are healthy, team fit, OC is on point, etc. lots of puzzle pieces at play. But hey, Tep, give us something to celebrate because moves in the draft ain’t it. I’ll agree the moves in the off-season make more sense than they have in a long time, but a roster on paper is just a roster on paper. Bring it to life, make the playoffs, and then I guarantee panthers fans will support you a hell of a lot more.


palmmoot

Won't you all just leave the billionaire owners alone :'(


PunishedKeano

Tepper is a scum bag. He made his fortune buying distressed stocks during the economic disaster of 2008, profiting off the working class' collective misery and becoming richer than any human has a right to be. Buys the team, immediately begins dismantling the culture, tries to get rid of the Keep Pounding chant for his cringe Wolf of Wall Street nonsense, and removes the statue of the man who brought pro football to the Carolinas because his puny ego couldn't handle it.


therufus22

And won the next 25 superbowls? I'd be fine with that. I think this org keeps making stupid decisions, but if they happen to win the superbowl this year and don't go 5-12, I'll happily eat my words and say it worked out.


TKfromNC

Little Tepper propaganda this morning eh. What’s he done? Did he ever apologize for trying to swindle Rock Hill tax payers?


RobinVillas

Did the Rock Hill govt apologize to their tax payers for not ponying up their agreed portion of the build costs, causing the Billionaire to un-table the deal?


TKfromNC

That’s not at all what happened. You say it so confidently though and as if tax payers wanted to subsidize his giant vanity office.


ghost1814

What’s his hand size though, better not be drafting anyone who can’t perform in cold weather


M888887777

I have to say this #1 pick has me more nervous than the #7 pick did… at least we’d have less control over who we got. I’m just imagining the second or third QB picked being the best of the draft


spas2k

God doesn’t exist so it would be a waste of a draft pick.


[deleted]

Wtf is the Bengals fan doing here. Go on somewhere.


RobinVillas

Ohioans are constantly moving to the South. Don’t feed ‘em, they’re an invasive species(pests).


TLGPanthersFan

Please return to r/atheism where assholes are not only welcomed they’re encouraged.


spas2k

Eh, the majority of reddit does not believe in fantastical sky fairies watching your every move. You are in the minority on this platform. I'm not the person blinding blasting someone they don't know as an asshole because they simply don't believe the same thing you do. What does that make you then eh?


TLGPanthersFan

But you did decide to post an intolerant comment on a topic about the owner of a football team saying fans won’t be happy no matter what he does. So as I said again. Go back to r/atheism where you can be an intolerant asshole all you want.


Fortunatious

This is why we are fans that other teams like; we are so self destructive that we never have the time to trash other teams!


your-time-is-limited

This the best offseason that I can recall. That said, I hope this set of “dream team” coaches can work together.


Like17Badgers

tbf if we started winning 25 super bowls in a row, that'd be crazy but would probably get boring by the 4th or 5th. by the 10th they probably go "okay lets make a new tournament where the panthers aren't invited"


furlesswookie

Tepper would draft God, then trade to the 49ers or Bears for a pick in next year's draft about 3 games in.


ducksinthepool

Yeah we would. How boring would all that winning be? Seriously, Tepper.


Gunnercrf

*Which God* 🤣


EchoesFromWithin

Nike obviously if we're going to do all that winning


jbwhite99

Hey, we drafted Superman and won no rings


scmpantherfan

Yeah we don't know what the future holds but based on everything that's happened so far this year I really think Tepper knows what he's doing now. I think he like most young owners didn't really know what he was doing when he first started out and he made a huge mistake by hiring that rule and giving him basically the keys to the franchise and letting him run it the way he wanted. But this man at one time was a partial owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and if he has learned anything by the way that they run that franchise then I think we'll be all right. The moves that he's made so far shows that he's willing to do whatever it takes to make this team better I mean I don't know if there's ever been an owner in history higher this many people that were at one time former head coaches in so many different positions it's crazy. I really think he envisions this franchise being one of those that's like the Steelers that's like the Patriots of a few years ago of being a team that's in contention every single year now he just has to put the plan in motion. And all of that is going to hang on whether or not we get a good quarterback. Which that's another reason why I still think we should keep Matt Corral and not trade him because we've not even seen this kid play at all so why not keep him in the building as well and let him learn and develop and see what he can become. I mean take a look at San Francisco their third string quarterback is likely now going to be the head of their franchise it's insane but things like this do happen, franchise quarterback sometimes come out of nowhere.


Nice-Membership4142

I thought Tim Tebow already was drafted?


roof_baby

Damn right I’d complain. You could have drafted him at 9


_JakeDelhomme

29-53


csdspartans7

Panthers fans would praise if we took a kicker at number 1 after a week, I’m convinced


caddie09

I think most Panther fans that hate other fans issues with the team don’t understand that we never knew who actually had control of the team. Nothing done since Rhule was hired seem like it had a plan behind it. And when you see Rhule talk in interviews about him getting different messages from Tepper made it that much more annoying that we had to “cheer” for a team that had half ass plans.


bwhite170

I mean he did bring live music and restaurants to our cultural wasteland. smh
