America's second favorite team?

So there was evidently a poll recently conducted by Public Policy Polling that places us as America's second favorite team. I know the bandwagoning is out if full force right now, but I never thought I'd see this day.

On another note, the Patriots and Cowboys are the most hated, that that's pretty obvious.

"As it turns out, America seems to have a love-hate relationship with the Cowboys and Patriots, because they also did well in the favorite team category. The Patriots ranked third (11 percent of the vote) and the Cowboys ranked fourth (10 percent) on the list of America's favorite teams. Both teams finished behind the Packers and Panthers, who received 15 and 13 percent of the vote.

The poll was taken on Feb. 2 and 3, so it kind of makes sense that the Panthers are ranked high. On the other hand though, the Broncos didn't exactly get a Super Bowl bump: Denver was ranked as America's sixth-favorite team.

The poll also revealed that Cam Newton is pretty popular. The Panthers quarterback is viewed favorably by 57 percent of the country, which was well above Tom Brady's rating. The Patriots quarterback is only viewed favorably by 46 percent of the country."

I'm actually surprised more folks don't hate Brady given that he whines and cries about everything.

People in general don't see what us rabid fans see.  They see the homogenized prepackaged media darling paraded around like a show bitch.

most will never take the time to see him as anything else.

fug his face, that is all.

    • How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan. 
    • Speaking generally to this whole thing— I would say taking a play out of structure too soon isn’t always the riskier option with a higher reward. You’re crashing the call and going out of structure when maybe you didn’t need to. Attempting a premature escape does not inherently have a high reward. But yeah, it’s risky ball. Especially when your not outpacing IDLs. Sometimes the higher risk/reward option is staying in a crowded pocket, not letting it break down, stepping up and making the big time throw. Now, if we’re saying it’s impossible to judge, and there’s so many factors, it’s a complicated position to evaluate, sure but the saying something with so much certainty that his biggest weakness is that he’s too aggressive — I don’t, I just don’t see that. Like at all.  And nothing has really convinced me otherwise. You can’t just keep going on about how it’s so intricate and difficult to understand but be so certain about this one thing. And all that aside, pocket work, mechanics and footwork have been the flashing red sirens since day 1 more than physical traits (we drafted him knowing he was a historic outlier) - do we just not want to acknowledge it? It’s even been communicated straight from the horses mouth…the coaches and team saying what he needs to work on the most. I appreciate the perspective, but nothing here has convinced me Bryce is somehow this aggressive type. Still open, but I don’t see it
    • I think Egbuka is a very polished guy, for sure. TMac has some refinement that needs to happen. His ceiling is probably higher than Egbuka's but for that to matter you have to eventually reach it. I definitely don't have buyers remorse on TMac. Great pick.
