I was naive enough to think these Panther fans did not exist anymore

Last night I had an interesting back and forth with a guy we'll call Michael Procton. (@MichaelProcton)

 

 

He blurted into a discussion I was having with a PFF guy about Cam's 2013 improvement.

 

At first I assumed he was just some angry Alabama troll, or maybe a Saints fan.

 

After doing a quick twitter search, I found that the guy is a big Panthers fan.  Yet he has an eerie disdain for Cam Newton, going back before we even drafted him. 

 

Going back to Cam's rookie year, the guy actually made an argument that Clausen had a better preseason and should have been starting. He wishes we had drafted Dalton instead of Cam.  Even Darin Gant called him out on it.

 

 

So that brings me to the question: do you know any diehard Panther fans that despise our franchise quarterback?

I know a guy from work like that. He likes the panthers but can't stand cam. He is a GIANT ecu fan so maybe that explains his lack of good judgment!

 

Whoa now, there are dumbasses across all NC campuses... Specifically the athletes at UNC...

 

But not all ECU fans are that stupid.

Not a lot of Panthers fans around me, but there is an inordinate amount of unfounded Cam Newton hate from fans of every other team in my area.

Except my little brother, god bless him. He's this close to switching team alliances from the Raiders to the Panthers because he likes Cam Newton so much.

I even caught him playing as the Panthers on Madden. And not online either, as an offline franchise. Busted.

Yeah just read a comments section on any Panthers article, or check out the Panthers facebook page.

A lot of NFL fans can't accept the idea of the athletic quarterback and sometimes its sad to say but some don't believe in black quarterbacks still. These people believe that the traditional drop back statue quarterback is the only way to win games even with a guy like russell wilson proving them wrong.

One of my good friends decided he was going to boycott the Panthers after we drafted Cam because he felt like it was a wasted pick since we had just invested a 2nd on Clausen. He must have also been boycotting when Clausen was playing to think drafting another QB was a waste of a pick. I have not, and probably will not, ever let him forget about it.

My daughter's pre-k teacher is a cowboys fan that used to be a panther fan before they drafted Cam. She said to me once that she'd still be a panther fan if it wasn't for our quarterback. I literally just stared at her without saying anything and turned and walked out of the room. I talk to the teaching assistant instead if I ever need anything.

      Another Win

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
