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.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
