...and I see an older gentleman off in the distance wearing a what looked to be a black and silver winter coat. As I get closer, I start to see flashes of carolina blue...he's sporting Panthers paraphernalia in Giants country! 

Yeah, this shouldn't be that big a deal, but I do privately get annoyed when I see a bunch of Eli Manning jerseys in the Dicks Sporting Goods in the QC. I never used to see Panthers stuff on the racks in sports shops up here in NY, but it seems like times are changing.

Winning does that. 

Is anybody else seeing more Panthers' gear around the country these days?

More?  No, not really.  I travel a lot for work though (western U.S.) and I definitely notice when I see someone sporting Panthers gear.  Sadly, I notice it because it's so rare.  It's worth noting that it seems like I notice more of it in Hawaii and Alaska than anywhere else. Likely because so many people in both of those places are from elsewhere.

Dude. Saturday I ran into some kid with a panther's keychain. I checked him to see if he is a bandwagon or not. Said he was a fan since 03. Knows our roster and everything. 

Then I am at starbucks yesterday and dude walks in with a Cam Jersey. 2nd Cam Jersey I saw in LA besides me. Lot of the bandwagon saints and seahawks fans here may have switched alleigances

It's going to be tough getting use to the bandwagoners. After so many years of feeling like the only Panther fan that exists out here and hating on franchises like New Orleans and Seattle's for the bandwgoners, its gonna be weird.

I'm all down with new fans, but they have no idea some of the seasons I sat through, and they best not be jumping ship like they did with their last team. 

True, and when I used to see people wearing panthers gear 90% percent of the time they were actual fans and you could talk some good panther football, but, all of a sudden, everyone is a "fan".

Would really piss me off when people from NC would ask me why i like the Panthers if they suck, and people saying they dont like them cuz they suck... Now those same people acting like they been supporting the whole time. smdh.

Norfolk was difficult this weekend. All I saw were NFC East team jerseys. On the way back to High Point from around the OBX area I picked up the Redskins broadcast during the Unsportsmanlike call on Culliver and man, I about ran off the road I was laughing so hard at their meltdown. I didn't pick-up the game again until I got closer to Rocky Mount.

I live in Greenville SC and I NEVER see anyone wearing Panthers gear. ( cept my wife ).  I am out probably 50% of the time sporting my Panthers shirts, hats...etc, year round.  It's funny that usually no one says a word to me about it but lately I have been getting people talking to me about the Panthers when I pass by.  I got called a bandwagon fan the other day and I was like...psh, look how faded this shirt is.....does that look like a shirt I just put on?  You would think everyone around here would be Panthers fans but all you see is Orange ( Clemson ) and Red ( Carolina GC ).  It's a shame that there is not more support in upstate SC.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
