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.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
