Kid fans and the Carolina Panthers

I was in my early 20's when we got the Panthers and over the years heard constantly that Carolina would have a real fan base when my generation's kids grew up as Panther fans.  I have seen this happening.

I have a 4 year old nephew who is a diehard Panther fan and watched all the games.  Both my brother (his father) and myself are big football and Carolina fans thought we've never pushed the kids to love them.  They're just around our fandom.  My nephew has turned into a full blown football nut.

He played his first year of recreation basketball this year.  The goals are lowered to 7 feet.  All the kids shoot underhanded.  You get the picture.  A few weeks ago it was their last game and my nephew hits a basket.  After scoring he runs full speed back down the count....dabbing all the way.  Yes, dabbing.  No one taught him to do this.  One arm around his head, forehead down while the other arm trails behind him as he streaks down the court.

He also does the Cam superman (although not on the count).  And he tells me he has a special TD dance but won't show me until he scores a TD.  He's playing next year.  Last week I saw him he was wearing two Panthers jerseys, a Cam one with a Luke one over top of that one, a Panthers beanie which he alternated wearing with his Panthers helmet. 

Has anyone else kids gone Panther crazy?

My 9 year old, and 4 year old, both have Panthers themed bedrooms.  I never mentioned the idea to either of them, though I think the little one mostly wanted it because of his big brother.  Both are also quick to talk smack to the opposition... likely from watching dad.

My 2 year old can't stop saying Keep Pounding, Go Panthers, luuuukke. and lately her favorite has been yelling reaaadddyyy like Cam. Because she will do this randomly like last night while we were watching family feud. She cracks me up.

I know exactly what you mean.  I love hearing my nephew saying "Whook Creekwe" and "Cam WewTON"

Yeah I've been seeing little kids in Cam/Luke jerseys here in Southern California. I know people who tell me their kids are big Panther fans now. It's really cool to see because I remember when I first started wearing my Kevin Greene Jersey, or my Peppers/Smith jersey during the superbowl run. 

I can't tell you how many parents I've seen at BoA this season that are toting Panther fans under 18. Alot of times, those parents are wearing jerseys of other teams.

The Panthers are cultivating a new generation of fans with a new culture, even stealing young fans from their families ;)

my 8 year just wants to know if we one after he comes in from playing outside. My 14 year old son watches the with me.  He's on laptop and phone all day reading about the Panthers. I think he's secretly on the huddle because he tells panthers new around the same time I read it on here.  I think he might be becoming crazier than me.  He only talks about Panthers now and nothing else. I love it

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      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.
