I admit it..I just switched to the Panthers!

I'm a life long Dolphins fan who has suffered through 30+ years of mediocrity, frustration, anger, shattered hope, and low expectations. I never imagined that I would switch my team. I'd stuck with them this long, right?

But after the antics of Arian Foster and Kenny 'Take Knee, Drop Easy TD Passes' Stills and the other jerks, I was on the fence. But a week ago, I was wearing my Dolphins hat, and I encountered an old man wearing a WWII Veterans hat, and he glared at me. That started to push me off the fence, but what sealed the deal was when I got home, I read that Miami's owner, Stephen 'I Have No Idea What I'm Doing' Ross came out in support of what the players did.

As far as I'm concerned, this isn't about free speech. The players are there to play football. Its their job. If you, me, or anyone else got in their customer's faces and went on a political rant, we'd lose our job, and rightfully so. Maybe they should concentrate on playing football, rather than causing distractions for a bottom feeding team. In the Seattle game, Stills dropped a TD pass that was put right in his hands. He was wide open, and there was nobody near him for 15 yards. He catches it, Miami beats Seattle. Yesterday, during their attempt at a comeback, he dropped another wide open TD pass. That would have tied the game. I didn't watch that game. I was too busy watching Carolina.

So, why Carolina? I lived in Charlotte for several years, Fayetteville for 2 years, and SC for about 6 years. I was in Charlotte when the Panthers went to their first Super Bowl, and I adopted them as my #2 team. Each year, I'd watch more and more of their games, and I'd root for them over anybody unless it was Miami. I've been to more of their games than any other team other than Miami...although in 2009, they played Miami. I was there for that one, but I've seen them play the Falcons twice, once in Charlotte, once in Atlanta. Also saw them play the Giants and Saints. Every game that I saw them play live, they won...except for 2009.

So, I have history with them. Over the past few years, it seemed more like I had 2 teams. An AFC and an NFC team. But, now that I've made the switch, its permanent. I won't be doing it again, even if Carolina goes through a bad slump..I watched every game in 2007 when the Phins went 1-15. I was disappointed in Miami for allowing this crappy behavior, now I could care less. Screw them, and Go Panthers! Glad to be here.

I dont mind new fans such as kids, or fans who are new to the game...

 

but this is the kind of fan that pisses me off. A lot of us have suffered through shitty times as panther fans and we are finally seeing what we all wanted to see. Now this guy and a bunch of other fans are hopping ship, taking the easy way out, dude fug that poo

 

dude, you are the definition of a banwagoner. I have no respect for you as it pertains to football or fan hood. I bet you hop off the banwagon the second the trend points down.

I can see your point and agree to some extent. I've always been loyal to my team not matter what. But at least he used to live in the Carolinas. It's not as bad as the POS in Charlotte that became Seahawks fans a few years back. I'll cut this guy some slack.

Welcome.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
