Why did you become a Panther fan?

I was not a huge NFL fan growing up because I had not team to root for.  I watched college football but mostly ignored the NFL.  When the Panthers came in that all changed, even though I moved to FL before their first game I finally had a team and have followed them ever since.  It also got more more into the NFL as a whole, especially in my 20s when I was gambling a lot.  Now that my gambling days are mostly done I really do not pay attention to the league outside of what effects Carolina but I still make sure to never miss a Panther game.  Should the nightmare scenario happen and the Panthers move I do not think I would ever watch another snap of the NFL.

Grew up as a Jets fan in New York. The family moved to Pineville in 1983, when I was 18. Without cable tv or internet, it became pretty hard to keep up with them, since they didn't get a lot of national games. When we got the Panthers in 1993, I jumped in with both feet.

I was too into the Charlotte Hornets and the NBA in general to pay much attention to the NFL when I was a kid. Until my 10th birthday which was roughly 2 months before the start of the 1995 NFL season. I began learning about football and watching games on and off until 2001 when the Hornets moved and I threw all my efforts to the Panthers. Football has been my favorite sport since 2002 and I've only ever been a Panthers fan. I bleed purple, teal, black, & blue. I am still searching for a Nick Goings jersey to be my very first jersey purchase. I loved that guy in 2004 and 2005.

I grew up in the TB area and saw a bunch of bad football, although in the process at the old sombrero I got to see Montana drive the field to win a game late, Sweetness go over the top, and both Dickerson and Sanders run wild.

 

Moved up here and jumped on from the start in 1995.  Still have that damned Coke bottle they gave out at the Georgia Dome at the opener in 1995, a game we should have won after the miracle finish to force OT.  Win that game and we would have contended for a wild card in that first season, I base that opinion on the fact we won 5 of 6 after we got off the slide thanks to Sam against the Jets.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
