Newbie asking for advices

[Leut]

Hi everyone,

German fella here and pretty much new to american football. Was never addicted to this sport, which suddenly changed. 

It is hard to get into everything if you have no idea about rules, strategies and gameplay. Recently watched the combine and nfl network frequently. Thats where my intrest came from.

However even with no clue about the sport, it is possible to become a sympathizer and I like the panthers :-). So a few days ago I bought a NFL gamepass and I think the best way to understand anything is to massivly watch and learn. So I am currently watching full replays of season 2018 (mostly Carolina). 

I struggle a bit in understanding gameplay decisions and penatlies.

Do you have any other advices to get into the basics and further on?

Welcome.   Curious?  Why did you pick the Panthers?  Glad you did.  

Don't know how to answer your question...except, it would be great if you can find someone who has been a fan for a while and watch some games together.

Have fun.

I highly recommend Pat Kirwan's Take Your Eye Off The Ball. It was incredibly informative and easy to digest, making it a great starting point for both fans new to football and those that grew up with the sport imo.

Charlotte is a Partner City of my hometown guess that's how the spark Jumped over. And I recently watched a lot of Games and yeah as I thought that is the best thing to do. It is really insane how another Sport beside Soccer caught my intrest. Looking forward to get tickets for London Games:)
