How many of your friends/family members have become "hardcore" Panther fans recently?

My little brother is the perfect example of this.

Said Greg Olsen is the best TE in the NFL right now.  And it's not even close, and I said he's better than Gronk (even though he'll go down as the best TE ever)?

He of course says "yes" then proceeds to ask me if I'm a Patriots fan.

Also, this is the same guy that didn't even know who Luke Kuechly was in 2013, shortly after I said he just won the Defensive MVP.  

Anybody else had any conversations like this recently?

My wife is a lifelong Notre Dame fan. Never had an nfl team until we started dating. Now she loves the Panthers. Her brother in law was a Bears fan, then he started watching Panther games with me..now he cares about the Panthers more than the Bears. Two more fans for the panthers!

Right before the pre-season started, I took my mom and sister (who didn't know anything about football) to the fan fest and they've been interested in the Panthers since.  But it wasn't until about the 3rd-4th week of the regular season that they started sitting down to watch an entire game, and now they're hardcore fans who understand almost everything about football. Especially my sister, it's amazing how much of a fan she's become, and a football nerd, after not knowing what a first down was back in September.   I did a great job.

The bandwagon has shown how large it is on my facebook feed. People I had no idea even liked football all cheering for the panthers.

Not even mad.

Yeah, it's just difficult to talk football with them.  Besides the whole "Panthers look good, don't they?"

OK, you gotta hear this.  I'm still laughing.

In another (now deleted) thread I had just detailed some of the hassle I've been facing as I try, from Africa, to buy tickets to the Panthers game against Tampa on Jan 3.

The purchase triggered the fraud alert on my credit card.  So I had to call to authorize it. 

Explaining my purchase (vendor & amount), I mentioned also that it's tickets to the Panthers game - a Christmas present for my brother (and me!).  The guy on the phone starts telling me "My colleague and I were just debating this morning whether Cam should get MVP.  I think it would be a crime if anyone else gets it.  Cam deserves it hands down."

I said, "so you're a Panthers' fan?"  He said, "No, I'm in Tampa, I root for the Bucs, but this year I'm rooting for Cam as MVP."

Gotta love it.  I told him Jameis is looking pretty good and I hope they finish the season well - just not when they play us!

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
