An Impending Breakup with the Carolina Panthers

Who the hell is Eddie Becker?

 

I've been through every season just like he has, and have invested a lot of money over the years for what's almost always a mediocre product.  And I CAN'T WAIT until tomorrow, when my oldest and I are going to watch us put a beating on the clowns.  Someday Eddie Becker needs to learn what it is to be a fan.  Hint:  it doesn't involve writing long Dear John letters on the internet...

The guy is feeling let down by his team.  He (assuming) is having an emotional crash (as many of us are).  He is reaching out for help and just wishing someone would understand.  Don't send him into a spiraling torrent of emotions.  Lift him up.  Give him assurance and understanding.  Love your brother Panther fan.

 But after that glorious '96 season, you lost interest. You stopped dressing up for nights on the town, instead settling for sweatpants on the couch eating entire bags of Cheetos while binge watching Netflix shows. And not good ones either. You'd watch forty episodes of "How I Met Your Mother" and all I could think is "what has happened to the Panthers?"

 

 

This is an interesting analogy, but he reaches the completely opposite conclusion that you should reach. Loving the Panthers IS like loving a family member or a significant other. We fell in love with her when she had a rocking body back in '95/'96 or 2003 as it was for a lot of people or maybe even 2008 or 2011 for a lot of really younger fans. And yes, she HAS put on a ton of weight and doesn't look nearly as hot as she used to. But you don't break up with your wife because of that, you keep loving her you jackass. It's ride or die with me and the Panthers until death do us part, I don't care how many stupid decisions made by ownership, front office, coaches, etc I have to sit through. I'm not going anywhere.

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
