Anybody Else Just Not Care Anymore?

[CLTPanther]

It seems a lot of you still care or are just drunk after watching that garbage. I haven't cared the last couple years and enjoy my Sunday's much more. I also get a lot more done on Sunday now, you all should try it.

Yup. Didn’t even watch the game. I’m so annoyed about how the Panthers are run. Been a fan since 1996. Not going to spend a single Cent on this product any more.

I did halfway through last season. Now I just have it on my 2nd monitor with the sound turned off. It may not get that much going forward. 

I went there after last weeks game. Kind of liberating really, watched most of the game with the sound off.

I was more entertained watching the Dolphins come back and beat the Ravens.

 

Hell...I was more entertained watching the f'n Lions beat the Commanders, for god's sake.  lol.

 

It's just becoming such a chore watching this team.   

 

Even the goddamn Jets managed to come back and win.

Tis sad but true. I’ve taken a new approach to this season and decided to do aquarium maintenance as I watch/listen to the game on my phone. It’s almost like background noise like a YouTube video would be while cleaning tanks. An odd change from usually being glued in front of the tv, but the way things have been going the last couple seasons, this is the best they get of my time. And it sucks to feel that way.

Honestly yea 

[Huffgolf30]

Add me to the list. Been a fan since the 90s. I'll always be a fan but theres absolutely nothing to look forward to at the moment. Tepper just massively effed up by hiring rhule. Just hope the next hire is done by Fitterer and he has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. That said, I'm afraid hes one of those owners who likes to meddle and will fug it up again.

[AceMan]

Yep, done with Tepper’s Panthers as a whole

My Braves keep me entertained now. I’ll watch the panthers on Sunday, but I don’t really care about them winning or losing. Well, I don’t let losing get me upset anymore. This team is just blah

[Cpt slay a ho]

Yeh same it’s hard to follow this team, besides the players there’s nothing keeping me interested, anyone with a brain knew rhule was cooked after last year, wasting a year of our players prime and fans football season is a unforgivable offense 

[PantherNation123]

After we kept Rhule after last year, I definitely don’t give a fug, and clearly neither does ownership. We are legit a laughingstock of the NFL.  Paying Sam Darnold 16 mil, and making a Hail Mary move with Baker is just icing on cake.  Rhule should never sniff any head coaching job anywhere, including college and HS.  Maybe peewee football, but he does give diddling vibes, so maybe not even that

[WOW!!]

Me,me,me

I haven't truly cared since Delhomme imploded twice.

Still care, always will. Only watching  a franchise because their are winning is a bandwagon hopper approach. poo sucks right now, but I still want to watch them play football. I do encourage getting Redzone though, very fun to wathc on Sundays.

I'm no bandwagon fan. Don't accuse anyone who has been a fan of the team for 25-30 years a bandwagon fan.

It's not just because we are losing that I don't care. We've had horrible seasons before. Remember there were two years we had the worst record in the league and most of us stuck around because we had hope that things would turn around. Even if we finished winning no games, at least there was this sense that next year would be different with a new coaching staff.

And before we had those bad seasons, we had some good ones. When we got a new coach last time, it was supposed to get better.....it didn't.

Now it just feels we are stuck and the worst part of it is we are stuck with a coach who isn't getting better and an owner who won't let him go and we've been promised 5 more years.

Its been so long since we've had a winning team and we are committed to a holding pattern of suck. 

Now I can't say this is the case for anyone else, but it's just not fun for me anymore. Before I planned my schedule around Panthers games and my family has had to put up with a lot. They've been ok with it, but I've still felt bad at times. Days where we lost and there was no hope of us winning, I hung in there till the end and my family waited.

Panthers were that important to me. They just aren't anymore. 

And the thing is, I don't feel bad about it. If the Panthers turn the page from the Rhule era, I might start to care, but I've got no confidence in this era with Rhule. I've got no hope it faith in this team anymore and I have no reason to believe that it will get any better with Rhule. I've seen nothing to inspire any confidence whatsoever.

I'm just tired of it all and don't see much reason to waste my time with this team I've loved since i first heard was coming to the Carolinas nearly 30 years ago. 

If Rhule goes I'll give it another chance, but as long as he's here I'm just going to find something else to do. 

I'm no bandwagon fan, but I am a tired fan who is likely going to move on from watching if we don't move on from Rhule.

I won't be trading my jersey in for another. I'll just be finding more interesting games to watch or finding more interesting things to do.
