I used to be a proud Panthers Fan

The things I see on here are disgusting to say the least. I understand nobody likes loosing but the way so called fans bash this team is ridiculous. Lets start with OUR quarterback, yes I said our quarterback because I'm tired of seeing him overly criticized on here. I guarantee you if we were 5-2 like we should be you wouldn't see ridiculous threads about his footwork. It's cam newton a perfect qb? No not by any means but I think after last year people expectations went through the roof. He's only in his second year calm down. Remember when Eli manning was horrible well now he is a two time Super Bowl champion. What about Alex Smith? It's amazing what you can do with good coaching. Next lets talk about our Defense. This defense has the potential to be great but these coaches continuously put them in bad situations. And our offense lets be honest the offensive line is beyond suspect. That is the key to the lack of running game as well as Cams regression. Do you remember last year Byron bell was the weak link on the line now he's the strongest man that's scary. But how can you expect a 2nd year qb who is still developing to be able to have any success if we can't run the damn football. You don't go to having the greatest rookie season ever to a damn scrub. We have the talent on this team to be great. We don't have the coaches and as much as I hate to say it we don't have the fans.

I agree. But, the reality of the situation is that every fanbase has it's embarrassing contingent. The truth of the matter is that most people are idiots. I've just come to accept that. I operate under the premise that everyone I come into contact with is an idiot until I have sufficient evidence to show otherwise. I do this online as well as in real life.

Many potential championship teams have been derailed by criticism on a message board. When will we learn?

People discussing specific and real aspects of the game is the exact reason places like this exist. If you think that is ridiculous then I'm not exactly sure what you come to a fan message board to see.

Our fanbase/team has little experience grooming a franchise QB, and it shows on this board. Although this board is nowhere close to a total representation of our fans.

Criticizing Cam's footwork is fine, IMO. Not just fine, but legit. I enjoy those conversations. The idiots that think that Cam sucks and he's the problem with this team are the ones that I can't stand. Every player has strengths and weaknesses and I enjoy discussing those. But when you have a young QB with Cam Newton's talent, suggesting giving up on him because of a 1-6 start in his second season is just idiotic.
