Cool. I find that hard to believe though. I rarely see any Panthers fans here on Oahu. I think I've seen like 2 people with a Cam jersey compared to the hundreds I've seen with Kaepernick or Wilson jerseys.

Mariota jerseys are selling like hotcakes here. Many of the stores are sold-out and backordered as soon as the shipments come in.

I lived there for 6 years (all before Cam was drafted, though) and there were a surprising number of Panthers fans out there.  I met a few, the only individual teams I saw more fans of were Steelers (Polamalu), 49ers and Raiders.

All those Wilson and Kaepernick jerseys might be the west coast people on vacation, since the Seahawks and 49ers are by far the two biggest fanbases in the mainland closest to Hawaii.

This is going by purchases from the Hawaii area, which apparently Cam was #1.  But yeah, Mariota will definitely be #1 the next time results are rounded up.

I've lived here all my life and have been a Panther fan since the beginning and have only met like 8 people who we're legit Panthers fans. Most were military from NC.

I frequent a lot of sports bars and the only time I've ever seen fans was the Patriots MNF game and Buc MNF game years ago.

Tourist do sometimes wear NFL gear but its not that common. 

The island is full of locals who are Seahawks, Chargers, Raiders, 49ers, and Broncos fans.

Theres only a few places that carry Panthers gear, Lids, Lids Locker Room, and maybe Star Apparel.

Sports Authority, Champs, Footlocker, FootAction, Macy's, Lids, Lid Locker Room etc, all carry Chargers, Raiders, 49ers, Seahawks, Broncos Gear all the time!

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
