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!

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
