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.

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
