I Believe Deep Down The NFL, NFL Media, And Fans of the NFL Wants Peyton To Win

And ride off into retirement

fug THAT

Peyton already won a SB, The Broncos won a SB, isn't that enough?

Panthers hasn't won a SB, been to 1 in their NFL existence and lost that game. What about that story? Is that not good enough? They said Cam is young and still has time, what? No, the SB is hard to get to and isn't guaranteed to win. What about the other guys on the Panthers, the old guys that hasn't won a ring? What about the people on the staff that hasn't won that contributed hard to this season? What about Jerry? Do they still have time? Wtf get that bullshit outta here

Panthers may be the favorite, but the fact is the Panthers has been written off and disrespected this year a lot, way more than the Broncos so we still remain the underdog. The Panthers carried that all year, but this game they need to carry it like no other time this season

Sure, tons of people would like Manning to go out a winner, especially after getting crushed by the Seahawks two years ago. Manning's a likable guy. 

OTOH the Panthers are the Cinderella team, coming out of nowhere with all kinds of heroes besides Cam and Luke, and having fun doing it. We're a unique kind of team and lots of people who aren't Panther fans are pulling for us to win.

I don't buy that the entire "NFL, NFL Media, And Fans of the NFL" are all pulling for Denver, but if the team can still use that perceived lack of respect as a motivating factor, I'll join in and shout 'nobody wants you to win but us Panther fans!'

I've always loved Manning. If he was playing against any other team in the Superbowl, I'd be rooting for him. 

So I definitely understand the perspective. 

Unfortunately for all those with that perspective, they will be very disappointed. 

I'm alright with that. 

 

GO PANTHERS!!

Not sure why the NFL would want Peyton to win since he is retiring either way. It makes for more drama if the Panthers go into next season and the foreseeable future as the polarizing team to beat, with the beloved/hated Cam Newton leading them. Just like they love the attention that the Patriots and Brady bring to the league. And, I heard yesterday that one fan poll had the majority pulling for Cam slightly more that Manning. 

But, if the disrespect card is what motivates this team, I hope everyone but us pulls for the Broncos and picks them to win (though I know that is unlikely at this point).

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Just because all draft picks are a gamble doesn't mean you don't have a better chance at hitting on a better player the higher you're drafting. It would literally be like someone saying, I'll give you 1 or 2 free spins on a slot machine, and you say you'll take the 1 because you're not likely to win anything anyways with 1 or 2, so why bother? The Cowboys desperately wanted T-Mac, but because they were 4 picks behind us, they weren't able to get him.  If you told Cowboys fans that had they lost 2 more games last year in a lost season, that it would get them the player they wanted so badly, would they in retrospect go back and lose those games to get their guy? 95% of them would take that trade off in a heartbeat, and the others who wouldn't are the fans who would rather enjoy an extra win or two in a poo season to then set themselves up to be better for the next decade. I also think the fans who argue against this thinking, get too caught up in the "well that means you're going to be rooting against us late in the season even if we still have a shot at the playoffs." Which isn't true, it's saying if you're telling me right now we'd make the playoffs but lose in the first round, that I'd rather end up 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss the playoffs because in our opinion, the benefits that come along with that outweigh the benefit of the players getting 1 game of playoff experience.

      In relation to tanking. I think you can count on one hand the number of people here who actually want us to lose football games. When accounting for it across the fanbase it amounts to maybe 2% of the entire Panthers fanbase. But you engage with some internet trolls and think haters are coming out of the woodwork and hey look at that it's all a conspiracy that leads to Bryce Young haters. Do you hear yourself sir? If it sounds ridiculous that's because it is. I mean at this point do you see Bryce haters in your dreams? As far as the culture of this franchise goes we seem to be doing better in that department via what we are building right now and with the people we have in place. But we also shouldn't just make assumptions just yet either. The rubber still needs to meet the road. And going back to previous seasons I think we can acknowledge although tanking obviously isn't a thing there were some times where we thought our culture was improving but really it wasn't. Yes I'm looking directly at some of those wins under Wilks. If the culture had truly changed we would not have lost to the Steelers who have been mediocre for years at home the way we did and they were starting Mitch Trubisky ffs. We did not change our culture for the better and we won games that ultimately meant nothing. It was just a brief mirage. We've done this for years now. The harsh truth of the matter is the Panthers have not had a winning season or been to the playoffs in going on 8 years but in those years they've been trying to convince themselves they aren't poo but in the process all they've done throughout most of that time period is squander better draft position and we were still the worst team in the league for our troubles. At the end of the day we should be able to just be adults and reconcile with that. And no that isn't being "pro tank" or any other boogeyman term it's simply recognizing reality.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      He's an asset in a game manager role. But as soon as you have to ask him to go out there and try to make plays and not just take what the defense is giving him... well, Darnolding happens.
