Are you a real Carolina fan, or a 2016 Carolina fan?

That was just the question asked to me by a co-worker just now.

I guess he hadn't ever noticed the Growl Towel hanging up on my desk until today and he said, "oh, I didn't know you're a Carolina fan.  But are you a real Carolina fan or a 2016 Carolina fan?"

Found it pretty funny, but told him the story about why I'm a fan and he laughed and said, "yep, I guess a real Carolina fan"

My dad took me to the HOF the year before the Panthers first season, I was a kid at the time (about 8) and loved the logo and colors, so he bought me a mini helmet and I followed the team that first year the best an 9 year old could do without today's internet abilities.

Then going into the second season we drafted my all time favorite player (from Michigan and grew up a die hard Michigan football fan) in Biakabutuka with the first round pick, and I was hooked ever since.

I even showed him the sticker on the mini-helmet on my desk that has a 1995 copyright sticker on it, been around since the beginning!!

Keep Pounding!!!!  Can't wait for Sunday!!!!

I had such high hopes for Randy Fasani...

Love how fitting it is in our sig, that a SB win would put us over .500.

Usually it's bandwagon fans who even ask that in the first place....trying to hide their own bandwagon hopping selves.

Seattle fan was saying something like that to me but the lad couldn't identify Shaun Alexander so yea....we all know what's what.

Post count doesn't mean that much .. Some of us have followed back in the Kevin Greene and Julius Pepper years but only became a part of the huddle recently.  I stumbled across the site and rarely even look at anything else.

 

But then again 14k post .. means you have a lot more time on your hands than some also.

    • Okay so he and we are acknowledging that Bryce is still making mistakes and not recognizing basic coverages in his third season. So what does he do to prepare? Remember before the draft the entire hype around him revolved around not only his ability to improvise when the play breaks down on the field but his dedication to preparation off the field in the film room. So if all of this is happening and his footwork is still anywhere between mediocre and horrific in any given play what is he doing in the offseason and in between games? This and his elite processing was supposed to be his key selling point. Then leadership was the sprinkle on top and let's be honest that's lacking at best too. So what is it that Bryce Young excels at in any phase of the game right now?....
    • Ironically enough what I think will ultimately do Bryce in/will be why he won’t make it in the league won’t be his size concerns, but his mental makeup.   He is a historical outlier in size and due to that has smaller and stricter windows, but he *has* shown he can play, but only when it doesn’t matter. The best football we’ve seen from Bryce was that preseason Buffalo drive and then down the stretch last year after we were already eliminated   Remember the look on JJs face last night after that TD pass to Jones towards the end of the game? Dude looked like a straight killer. That’s the face of a dude that’s locked the fug in, completely ignoring any and all noise. Reminded me of prime Cams infamous nod prior to orchestrating a game winning drive right after seeing the Saints take the lead.  Probably hyperbolic but that shot convinced me JJ will be a dude for the Vikings. Yes they have a great staff but that kind of mentality isn’t something that’s taught.    to succeed as a young QB in this league you need some level of that coldness/killer mentality in you to push through the adversity that will inevitably come when you have a bad game, throw a pick 6, or your line gets blown up.    i don’t see any of that in Bryce. I want to be wrong, and hope someone can quote this post with a “wow that aged like milk!” someday, but I don’t think it’s happening.     if Bryce had that mentality in him, I honestly think he could play and work through it, but I just don’t think he does
