Opposing teams' fans visiting this forum

[ladypanther]

We check out other forums...I am sure they are looking here.  What do they see?  There used to be some good football discussion here...I learned a lot from some of the very knowledgeable people here.  Now...all we see is team bashing....coach bashing....fire the coaches....painting everyone associated with the team as incompetent. This thread was the last straw for me........".Eagles have the #1 run D in the league, 23rd ranked pass D."  3 pages there so far and rippadonn has the only post with any substance.  Everything else bashing the coaching staff....portraying them as idiots.

The only team in history to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl pops the champagne corks every year because no one else can do it.

I am a fan. I do not like everything that happens. Not going to happen in life.  I do appreciate intelligent constructive discussion about the good stuff and bad.  Next time you post ...please ask if it meets that criteria.  We need to lift this place back up.  The legacy of this team has some real substance.  I want that to be our reputation here too.

Honestly despair is a growing trend everywhere. I rarely meet passionate people anywhere anymore.

This is my second account (lost password and username for my first from 2008) and this place used to be my number one source for Panthers related material.  Now I’m basically returning out of habit.  Where did everyone go?

I’m just curious, where else do you go for Panthers material?

If I am one of the many posters, I do apologize for bringing this place down. When I criticize the coaches, I don’t mean to bash, I just mean to have a discussion and hopefully someone responds back in a respectful manner, then we could have a reasonable discussion. Who knows, I could learn something or even have my opinion changed. I don’t attack people, I just disagree and explain why I disagree. I am wrong a lot, but never make anything personal when I am called out. Anyway, I hope this place improves to your liking.

Lol same. 

The huddle barely breaks news these days. It’s only bitching and conspiracy theories these days

Well Rivera is incompetent and should be fired.

in ten years of posting here i see a post like this every year bemoaning day's gone by. that's the nature of forums. regulars come and go and much like parents complaining about their kids' music, somebody's always pining for the way things used to be.

imo the best thing to do is go make good posts and ignore the bad ones.

[Chaos]

I totally get what the OP is saying, but if we were to look in the Huddle vault of 2010 with Clausen, or 2007 with David Carr, even when bad Jake showed up for good in 2009, we would find similar complaints, bickering, trolls, thread derailing, and player/coach bashing.  Fox took beatings around here on the regular.  It’s the unfortunate side of being passionate fans.  I love this team so much I want to kill them when they suck.   But no matter what they are my guys.

[PhillyB]

also consider the specifics of our franchise history. we're cockteased like no other fanbase. perennial suck teams only have the stalwarts around, and they're usually cloying optimists making happy threads. extremely good teams keep their stalwarts fed enough to have a mainstay in the fanbase when things go bad and the band wagoners bail.

the panthers are hot as fug and cold as fug year to year. it's a roller coaster and i think it creates reactionaries like few other fanbases. we are not a team to follow if you're bad at handling adversity in the face of high expectations, and there's a lot of people out there bad at handling adversity.

hopefully getting some consistency and shaking off the malaise of two decades of richardson's reign will help change things.

[PhillyB]

anyway i'm far more concerned that opposing teams fans go to the forum from the football team in the carolinas and see "i hate n*****s" as the top thread in a subforum populated by proud boy members, disparate white supremecists, and literal advocates of genocide. bad, bad optics.

I’m only one man, I can only make so many good posts. I’m definitely going to need some of you to start carrying your weight around here. My back is starting to kill me.
