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

The Panthers only report tickets distributed as attendance so those numbers are largely irrelevant to the topic of the number of people in the stadium. Whether or not a few hundred more people bought the extremely limited single game ticket inventory doesn't matter.

It matters when people are claiming the opposite of the numbers. Attendance is the same and if anything was worse to start.....when excitement should have been the highest

You do understand that attendance(as in people who actually attended the game) and tickets sold(what we report as the attendance) are not actually the same thing?

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...no brainer...PSL Owner since '95 Baby!!

The only reason people react this way, is that cam was what is best for this team.

So, yeah, reacting to cam being traded or released is also in part to what was the best for this team that I bleed blue and black for.

Sorry to say this version is the current state of affairs.

Ehhhh, no, I dont think we have an entirely "was" factor.

Jake threw 5 int in a playoff game, and I think that was a good measurement to say move on.

What we have with cam (pre cmc emergence) in 2018 is an emergence of a talent picking up game management skills to compliment cmc ability.

I just think having cam, at any percentage of health, with cmc is so goddamn threatening, that it frustrates me to think we wouldnt try to put a healthy combo like that out there next year, with a pricetag of 20 mil at qb

Keep telling yourself that.  Unfortunately things are not as it seems in Pantherland and I fear it's about to get worse.  Buckle up.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
