I tend to wait at least a year or so for a player to be on the team and show that he can really play , ala CMC or Luke, before I scoop up one of their jerseys.

I learned that lesson. I still have a Foster #20 in my closet. He changed his number to 26 after one year.

I have a Newton my wife got me during his 2nd or 3rd year in the league but that's it.I just buy team merch "Panthers" I don't want to attach myself to any player anymore. 

We get our kids their favorite guys, Kuechly  Olsen , Newton,  but as a 39yr man I'm not 100% i want to wear a guy thats 1/2 my age name on my back.

Vets and retired Player Jerseys are the way to go those things are not cheap ( a Steve Smith jersey even while he was with the Ravens was still a good one to have on)

You don't want to be the guy wearing a Funchess jersey come Sundays

Oh god think about the poor souls who bought a Butler jersey

Yep. I like having all 3 colors too. Blue Cam, black Kuechly, and white CMC jerseys are what I have.

After preseason, I’m more excited for burns than I was for mccafrey, Butler, Moore and Shaq. And that’s just off the top of my head. Obviously I was wrong about McCaffrey but the point is he’s already made a statement. Hope it translates because he’s the first one I’ve seen true pro bowl talent in in quite some time.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
