Another year without the playoffs. Another year of wasted fandom. Ahh, life as a Panthers fan!

I have been a fan for over 2 decades now. I am tired. I love this team and football but I am sick and tired of being one of the organizations deemed "worst in sports". We have had success here and there but when it's bad it gets fuging ugly. I don't know what to complain about anymore. I used to envy the teams that won consistently or had multiple championships but now I'm at a point where I almost understand the mindset of people that don't care for sports. God this is tragic.

I'll always have the inherent love for sports, having played them and followed them my whole life, and then there's the personal attachment to our home state teams that I will always proudly maintain.  It's a sense of pride and identity associated with our hometeams, so that will always be an unbreakable bond for me...  but man, that being said, I have never felt more apathetic towards the Panthers.  Don't get me wrong - I'm pissed.  I'm disappointed.  But, ultimately, I don't think I care anymore.  Our situation has never felt so hopeless before.  They burned all those draft picks as though this team was making a championship run, horribly mismanaged the QB position, and to see us not even competing against teams we should be curb-stomping...  I dont care how many wins we have.  When you know you have an incapable staff at the helm, none of it matters, and it won't matter until significant changes are made.  And then there's the whole realization of knowing we're gonna have to go through all of this again because we messed it up so badly this time.  It's just so old at this point.

I'll always be a fan, but I'm definitely not investing the same amount of time or energy towards these games until they show and prove.  And judging from Tepper's moves thus far, I'm not holding my breath.

    • Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package. 
    • Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE. 
    • He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
