I think you'll see the current Panthers ownership give it a few really good seasons of pumping money into the team to see where they end up. There is a pretty solid prospect base, and they got a good leadership group with the veterans they picked up. I wouldn't be shocked to see the Panthers improve the most out of any team this year. If that happens, and they remain competitive for the next 2-3 years, there's little chance the team moves. Fans will show up if they are in the playoffs, or right on the bubble, but it has to be done year over year.
