If Cam Newton is not on the roster in 2020, would you still be a Panthers fan?

It is no secret the Panthers fan base has seen a large number of new fans over the last decade that are strictly fans of the team because of Cam Newton. With Cam Newton going on IR, and the possibility of his time with the Panthers coming to an end, this fact has been brought into the spotlight. 

So be honest. Straight up, if Cam Newton is not on the Panthers roster in 2020, would you still a Panthers fan?

Yes I would. I'm a fan of the team first and foremost. Sure im a fan of the players, but if they left I would still cheer for the team and for those players as long as they weren't on a division opponent and weren't playing us. Panthers football helped me deal with the loss of my oldest brother in 2015 so I'll be a fan til the day I die regardless of who is quarterback or if we are 16-0 or 0-16

Haven't noticed how much emptier the stadium looks this season, huh? Ah to be young and naive again.

Just because you are a fan doesn't mean you are willing to throw cash at the organization for something you can enjoy for free at home. You can buy a 6 pack for the cost of a beer for example.

I'm a Panther fan and will be one regardless of who is playing for them or not. Having said that, I don't think there' anything inherently wrong with anyone being a fan of a particular player instead of a team, that's just personal preference. I find it weird that many fans consider it acceptable to be blindly loyal to a particular team, but not like a particular player regardless of his team. I happen to be one but see nothing wrong with being the other.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
