I respectfully disagree with that statement. The vast majority of the NFL fan base in general is made up of the casual fan. That's the bread and butter of the NFL. People who couldn't name one offensive lineman on their "favorite" team, like a team because their new boyfriend pulls for them, likes a team because of one player, colors, mascot, etc. They make up what the NFL is built on and every team has them, not the fans that hang out on message boards dissecting the zone read option or know the proper psi of an NFL football. 

 

BTW - I couldn't come close to rattling off jersey numbers 1-99 and all the names associated with each one of them and I doubt most people on here could. Jersey number association for the entire team is just not something I retain or even care to honestly. I could however rattle off 15 or more current players from each NFL team and hold an intellectual conversation about any team, any player, in any era. I consider myself a fan and a knowledgeable one at that. 

 

Aren't you an Eagles fan?!?!?!??

I wouldn't expect you to know basic math, much less jersey numbers...

It's the bandwagoners. I think the Seahawks are a great team, I like Wilson, I love Seattle if I had the money it's one of the top cities I'd live in.

But the bandwagoners Jesus Christ I have never seen so many so fast. Here in Charlotte I have seen in start the last three years...all over. Why the fug do people in Charlotte wear Seahawks gear. I've even asked people....you from Seattle? Nope, born and raised in NC (of corse everyone here is), parents from there? Nope....ever even fuging been there or to a Seahawks game, memories from anything???? Nope.

Like what the fug, across an entire country you just so happen to be a fan with all your lime green and Seahawks flags and bumper stickers here in the south??? The fug did you do just pick a team out of thin air to be a fan of? How does one do that?

Bullshit. You have all that poo because you jumped on a winning teams bandwagon and it is so god damn annoying.

You can't talk football with these people...they don't know anything about it or the Seahawks.

One thing that has been said a few times but needs to be emphasized:

 

THE 12TH MAN

 

The arrogance of the whole thing.

 

It comes off like this, "I'm a better fan than you are because I am a 12th man! You are just a guy. We are the loudest, the fiercest, and the best fans in the world and you don't come close!"

 

Not everyone has that attitude, but all I read is stuff like, "The Panthers have no idea what they are about to get into with our fan base, we are a level above everyone else..."

 

How could this attitude not lead to a bad reputation with other fan bases? It is quite simple actually.

You say that like the Panther fan base wouldn't be immediately cut down 1/3 if Cam Newton left for another team today. 

 

 

That would be the Auburn part of the fan base that would disappear. His haters in the fan base would be rising up like a fatty poo to the top of the water.

I have no issue with the Seahawks at all. I admire their scramble drills. Last year I swear Lafell and Ginn would just stand there taking up space when Cam would have to break out of the pocket. The Seattle WRs and TEs look to get open.

 

I do however think the 12thMan should only belong to Texas A&M. I think Seattle will be paying a lot more for the rights in 2016 to continue to use it.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
