That's my one takeaway from the FanFest tonight. Sure, we can talk about Oher starting at LT or CAP looking like a monster. But you'll hear that elsewhere. 

The attendance tonight was 55,000+. The fans were screaming their heads off. There was energy galore. 

But above all of that, in my section, there were tons of kids with Cam jerseys or Olsen jerseys or Luke jerseys. A new generation of Panthers fans are here. 

TL;DR - A few more winning seasons and I don't think you'll see Steelers' fans here anymore.

I posted this in the other thread may as well re-post it here:

Fugging awesome.  Fan excitement is high.  I love this team.  This franchise should be a rallying and unifying entity for those of us that root for different sports teams, and this is evidence that the culture and seeds that have been planted over last 20 years are starting to really bear fruit.

As older fans who had allegiance to other NFL teams before we came into existence move on and younger generations who have grown up in NC with the Panthers the main franchise of their home state, we are starting to see the full embrace of this franchise by our young residents.

Also, Cam has galvanized the city and has a special connection with the children of NC.  As we move further into the future and those kids become adults with children of their own, I believe we will have one of the strongest fan bases in the NFL

I'm 35, born in Philly, but was moved here shortly thereafter.  The Panthers have been my team since they came into existence and my Dad bought Psl's immediately.  Now my brother and I split them and take our own kids to the games.  Being a fan is great, but seeing the excitement in your own kids and knowing they're Panther fans too is even better.  The fan base is growing for sure.  We're a city of transplants and it takes time to get rid of allegiances from the past, but we're getting there.

Cam was a whole ton of fun. The slow motion wave he orchestrated was great fun. I only saw one Steeler turd.

that fugtard and his friends cut my off in the parking lot and stood in front of my car while his friends got into the road.

Being born and raised in Kentucky, you have to find weird reasons to start following a NFL team.  I was only about 8 or 9 at the time, but the Panthers were the first team I remember watching on TV, and I'll be damned if it wasn't love at first site. Love the direction this franchise is heading in!

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
