Do you have a second team to root for?

It might be weird to ask such a question, but when I talk with my local football fans friends, they claim that they have a second or even third team they root for. I think it's too ridiculous because I don't even think I have enough time to love my only Panthers but they can cheer for three teams at the same time...

 

So how about the great huddle?

I don't really root for, but kinda wish luck to (when not playing the Panthers) the Buffalo Bills. Because I'm from NY, and they are the only team that plays in the state of NY.

 

Before the Panthers were around, I didn't root for anyone. Steelers, Redskins, Dallas, Giants, Bills, Bears and Pats fans were all around me. And I got yelled at to once saying "you need to start rooting for a team so we can talk poo to you!!" So, Just so happened the Panthers came into play when that was told to me. So I went with them (to not be a front runner). Been a fan ever since and never swayed!

People are allowed to support the Panthers and follow the results of another team, like family ties or the team most local to them. But wearing their jerseys, rooting for them at any time, or making noise if you go to one of their games is a no-no.

Us Panthers get a fair bit of stick as a relatively young and unsuccessful franchise. Time to make history and stop people asking who our second and more successful team is.

nope Panthers all the way no questions.

I do find it funny that I see "die hard" sanfran and patriots fans all the time up here in Ontario. but when they run beer promotions and you can get free nfl gear they will wear any team that comea out of the box.

the ones I get go to the dog...

Not really.  I have certain players I like and if one of their games is on I root for them... probably the closest thing to a 2nd team for me is Green Bay, and even then I don't really care about them.  If we play against them I hope we destroy them.  I just really liked Brett Favre when I was younger and I guess it kinda' carried on over to Aaron Rodgers.  Made a few bucks off of them in the Super Bowl too.

    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
