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.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
