USAToday Not Convinced - Trend Continues

[dldove77]

Only two of seven writers from usatoday.com pick the Panthers to go to and win Super Bowl. Their senior writers pick the Cards and Seahawks.

Oh to get paid for being a dumbass.

Doubt is good for this squad. 

both my teams have had great years (Clemson and Carolina) and both have thrived off the doubt.

we should thank these people.  I also hope Seattle whips the Vikings and that initial Vegas line totally disrespects us 

[Killa Cam 69]

We won't get the respect we deserve until we win the big game .. Hopefully this is our year

[Peppers90 NC]

You can't expect everyone to pick us

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Big deal! 

A season's pass to Carowinds and the opinions of these pundits will get you a ride on Thunder Road.

 

Let these false profits be exposed one by one for the fools that they are. 

Meanwhile the Panthers will realize their manifest destiny...

this fanbase is so insecure.... who cares what experts think? a quick glance at pickwatch shows that the #1 expert in picks finished the season picking 66% of games correctly. Their predictions aren't gospel 

and I used the word "experts" loosely

I highly doubt Clemson has thrived off of doubt, they played the shitty ACC.  Then played a less talented OU team in the trenches and beat them soundly in the 2nd half.  Sometimes it's better to be lucky, I suppose.

Is everyone supposed to assume we are going to win?   Not like anyone just said... well Cardinals and Seahawks because um... um... Cardinals have a good team,  Seahawks are good and have been to the last 2 Superbowls.   

I think we gonna whup dat ass but no reason to think people are stupid for picking them.   Now if they were picking the Packers or Redskins over us, then that's just not smart..

 

[Castavar]

Oh no, everybody isn't picking us to win the superbowl, how awful.

Why do people continue to care? We won't get respect until we earn it, and the only way to do that is win the superbowl. So stop expecting every writer to kiss our ass.

[Donald LaFell]

Is the entire media-verse supposed to suck our dicks until people stop whining? 

 

[Mojo]

There will always be doubt.  Sometimes more prevalent than others.  As long as it motivates the players it's fine.  As a fan of this team everyone should be used to it by now.

[Lemory]

People that aren't complete homers realize we aren't a perfect team and that there may not be a 100% chance we win the Superbowl. Just because someone has a different opinion and may think another of the teams has a better chance doesn't mean we take it as a slight against us. There really is no need to crucify people that think differently of this team. I swear some of this fan base is like a kid that wants all the attention.

Only 28% of a few writers expects the Panthers to go to the Super Bowl?  What a travesty. By  that, I mean it is a travesty these so called Panthers fans have become so full of themselves and sensitive that someone picking another team is some type of major insult to mankind.
