Looks like I'm not the only one

I'm not going to lie, I sit near him and he kind of rubs me the wrong way. My boy is fascinated with him and wanted me to get him a picture next to him, the man basically didn't even respond to me while I am standing next to him. Props to being a superfan and perhaps he was having an off day but it bummed my boy out

I met him after teh game once. It does get a little tiresome. he told me it takes him 2 hours to leave the stadium.

I went to my first game last year and I saw a couple get his pic with him, he did it but he didn't look happy.

Yeah he almost has the same exposure as the players, without the benefit of showers, media time, team meetings, and a separate exit after the game to protect him from adoring fans. In other words, he's like you and me, but has to deal with the same attention a minor player does. That's a lot of stress. The one time I met Catman, he was very accomodating. Gave me a signature and a photo smiling the whole time

His gofundme says that he has had health problems, that could play a part in it.. 

I was going to say the same thing.  I thought he got really sick there for a while...not sure what his illness was, they didn't say or I honestly can't remember.  I think he missed a few games because of it?  Again I could be mistaken.  In either case, if he was not feeling well that particular day, it may be the reason.  I have to imagine being the Panthers "#1 Fan" would be tiresome after so many years of doing it.  At this point, it's almost like he just can not stop doing it and would get even more attention if he suddenly stopped.  Kinda one of them thing's you gotta hang on to your life once you have done it so long.  I would honestly hate it after doing it for so long...especially good years like this, you would have all these new fans wanting to take picture, sign autograph's constantly.  I could understand why some days, if he did not feel well, he would respond in this way.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
