Should we retire Keep Pounding

Recommended Posts

Keep pounding has been around long enough and through enough that it is now part of the tradition of this team, whether they live up to it or not. 

I'm a St. Louis Blues fan, and midway through their Stanley Cup season they adopted the song "Gloria" as their mantra.  There is a story behind it that coincided with their climb from last in the league in early January to the playoffs and the championship.  That was a one-season thing, but the fans had a similar debate after the season.  Yes, it was their mantra to their first championship, but it was not a tradition.  Five months does not make a tradition.

Keep pounding is a tradition.

A fan telling another fan what to do let alone stop being a fan is the weakest poo of them all fella

 

and for the record. Unless you just live under a rock. It’s been pretty hard being a fan of this team. Heck, I don’t even watch full games anymore because it’s unwatchable at times. At least the Canes are good and they actually care about their fan base. Complete opposite of what Tepper has shown. 

I get your disgruntled about the team, but this isn't high school football where you don't get a sticker on your helmet until you do something good.  

Sam started "Keep Pounding" to remind everyone that no matter how bleak things are you gotta "Keep Pounding".  If anything, this is exactly why we should keep it.  We are struggling to be relevant again.

THE PANTHERS NEED TO "KEEP POUNDING"

it has emotional resonance and is tied to team history, which is cool, but objectively i see why someone without prior attachment to it would want it gone. "keep pounding" sounds anthemic of always losing but trying really hard not to. it implies failure as the starting point and winning as the variable.

it really just is not that great.

What I find hilarious as when someone makes a thread and actually wants to have a conversation you get people posting “this thread is stupid” or the poster is stupid take it down. Yet they take time to post vs actually having a conversation. That shows your IQ. Thank you for the folks that actually wanted to have a legit conversation.

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
