Yuck... I hate people that want to ride the wagon because the panthers are great....

didn't see you around for the 2-14 season or the 1-15 one... So f*ck off.

We shouldn't bash new fans.  Bashing new fans causes everyone to question any Panther fan.  If someone ever called me bandwagon, I'm going off on them.

I'll bash the poo out of anyone who is only now becoming a fan because the team is good....

f*cking hate bandwagoners we got a bunch when we drafted cam (the camwagon) and now that we are great the wagons filling up again with bullsh*t fans.

 

You're the type of guy that I was referring to.

btw yesterday i was hiking up to akaka falls in my RR cat fight t-shirt and some random ass lady was like "ooooh i like that shirt!"

it's obscure as hell so either she thought it was awesome that people commemorate cat fights on their t-shirts or the panthers have a really broad reach

This is very true, we have a great deal of "fans" here who are simply fans of one player...

True but what I meant was, when you joined the huddle isn't necessarily when you became a fan of the team.

I joined the huddle this past February I think and have been a fan since 2001.

Very true also...

I have followed them since the beginning but if I'm being honest it was around 2000 when I understood the game well enough to be a true fan...

I simply have no respect for the guys here who are cam fans or hopped on the wagon when we ate successful...  In my opinion they havnt earned the right to be called true fans.

The problem with that is no one can ever become a fan after you. And that logic doesn't work. 20 years from now, the hardcore fans we get this year will be in a similar position as you are now. 

The basic premise is simply enjoying the team on your own terms. Others have pointed out that newer fans won't experience the same joy we will this year. That's their penance for coming on board so late. Or our bonus for being on board through the lean times.

This is very true.... This season has been weird for me as a panthers fan... We win so much that it's almost expected it almost cheapens the feeling of winning.

This has been the most magical season I have ever had as an NFL fan. I grew up in NY as a Giants fan but was too young to really appreciate the SB wins in 86 and 91. Then Army and stationing in Europe in the 90s basically guarantees no exposure to what's happening in the world. Then our history and the crushing 2003 season. And years of maybe this year or WTF? Years. I wanted to draft Pickles. Ugh.

And now this. Everyone I know knows I'm a fan but it feels weird to be on top of it all...all season. The season is magical and I don't see it letting up any time soon. We, as fans, need to get used to being strong because there's no reason to think it won't continue for 10 years maybe.

This has been a fantastic season mostly because it is so unexpected. And if we keep winning the road comes through Charlotte.  As a PSL owner this is a dream come.true, to watch my Panthers win a conference championship at home. I didn't go to Superbowl 38 but vowed if we ever returned I will be there. 2 games at home and the big one. After sitting through the debacles in 2008 and 2013 I am ready to kick some playoff ass . Bring on Seattle and then Arizona. Then the Patriots. Let's take all the comers. If you want to be the man you have to beat the man. All of them.

This is totally true. It really gets to me when some people talks poo because of when someone joined, I have been a fan since 1996 and didn't join until 2010 mainly because I had no idea the huddle existed.

The worst thing is to be called bandwagon fan.....when you are not

Or when you get asked specific stats and you aren't that kind of fan. I mean I know the history of our team, but can't recall every single stat of every single player.

Telltale signs of a bandwagon fan? Jake, Smitty, or Peppers jerseys.

None. I don't buy jerseys. That's my thing. I don't hate on those that do. But I don't own any. And don't want to. I can go on into the psychological reasons why but it's boring. But if I ever had one...it'd be Dan Morgan. Favorite Panther ever. 25 tackles in the SB. Sigh.

    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
    • They also came out for the encore and the singers were dressed in canes jerseys. Pretty fuging cool.
