Could anything make you quit the team?

The guys that said they would leave if Payton were hired are all talk. Hell, one is a mod. Just because of what was said if Payton were hired and I were zod I would just remove his mod privileges to help him on our the door since he would quit on his team that easy. In actuality we all know they are all talk and neither of them will actually leave if Payton were hired. People are quick to say what the will do if something happens they don't like but they almost never act on it. It is simply their way of trying to look tough by drawing a line in the sand. 

I Don't like Payton but must admit he is a heck of a good coach and if wmhe were hired I would still be a fan regardless.

I think when I pull for and have a history or tie with a team I stick no matter what.  NC State is the school I graduated from and the Panthers are the team from my hometown.  Both are mired in mediocrity and seem to promise disappointment rather than success but both of them are “my teams”. That’s bigger than a new owner hiring a stupid coach or having a shiity QB.  
 

just my view.

Like it’s been said; I’ve got one foot in and one foot out, but it has nothing to do with what anyone has done. I’m just losing interest in football. I only watch Panthers football. I cannot sit through and watch an entire game when it comes to other teams, even in the playoffs. I can watch the Super Bowl, but it’s mainly because I’m around others in a party atmosphere. 
 

Id quit the panthers and football if the panthers ever left. I have no interest or desire to start over with another franchise. I’ve already witnessed and heard the NFL/Panthers take part in practices that don’t align with my values or beliefs, and I’ve still stuck with it, so it would be a lie if I told you something like racist practices, misogyny, etc would take me away. I’d feel a way, but I’ll still watch. It’s sad, but my love of the game got me hooked back then and it’s kept me around so far.

Two posters have said today that they are done with the Panthers if we were to hire Sean Payton. I don't know if I believe they'd actually walk away from being a fan though. So the question is simple ... is there anything the team could realistically do that would make you say bye?

I'll always be a fan. However, Jake's meltdown back in the day turned me from a rabid Panthers fan into the calm almost casual fan I am today.

I could see myself drop one tier lower though, which probably means not watching every game and not even bothering to know who our starters are.

What would that be?

HC: Wilks

DC: Holcomb

OC: McAdoo or Brian Johnson

1st Round Pick: Anthony Richardson

 

What say you, Huddle?

If the team were to move outside the Carolinas or if they try to remove the connection of the team to both Carolinas like I've some NC fans arrogantly wishing for. Outside of that, it'd be hard for me to think of something. There likely are some scenarios but I can't picture them right now.

Yeah if they hired Payton (or Gregg Williams, for that matter but he has mostly fallen out of the league at this point) I'm gone as well. I'm not sure if it'd be permanent, maybe just until the end of his head coaching tenure because I do love this team's history to death pre-Tepper, but I can't support any team with either of those two on the sideline. Other than that, relocation out of NC is probably about the only other thing that'd make me consider it. Maybe Tepper going fug it and naming himself GM but that seems very unlikely from what we've seen so far; he thankfully doesn't seem like another Mike Brown/Jerry Jones type at least.

My fandom has been dwindling for a while now, I find myself forgetting the games are even on from time to time nowadays though I do still at least tune in and watch bits and pieces of the majority of them. Prior to 2018, I didn't miss a single game from the day I became a fan up to that point until I didn't tune into one late in the year when Cam's shoulder was obviously falling off and Ron wouldn't bench him and ever since then it's been a downward trajectory. At the very least, it comforts me knowing some of y'all are still so enthusiastic about the team.

Only really if the team moved, but the amount I'm invested depends on how well or poorly the team is ran.  I I used to attend games frequently.  I haven't been to a game since Tepper has owned the team and won't until we hire a coach that has some imagination.  I'm tired of this team being ran like a KMart that has an unlimited bank roll.  The team needs to stop living past.

If they ever have back to back winning seasons they are dead to me… But seriously, if they moved out of state would be about the only thing. I’m pretty much over the NFL so I doubt I’d start rooting for another team. Definitely couldn’t go back to being a Saints fan. Looks like I am similar to a lot on here in that I’m nowhere near the fan I used to be. I keep up on here more than I actually watch games anymore. Even if they were to get dramatically better I probably wouldn’t watch significantly more. I just have better ways to spend my Sundays.

It would be more along the lines of a series of mistakes, rather than 1 single error. There is a good bit of history invested here, but that can always be overcome and undone. I am hoping our current status is an opportunity to change our trajectory. Jaguars would be the next geographically closest team for me, and they aren't terribly appealing.

I was another Rhule season away from checking out like I did in 2001. I didn’t stop liking the Panthers, I just wasn’t interested at all after like week 7 or 8 when we got blown out by the Rams then barely lost to SF.

I guess if the team moved I would quit my fandom. I would still watch football but it wouldn’t be the same.

For me, it's if the team moved. I already live outside the Carolinas, so my attachment to it is based on my family being there and my time living there. If it moved elsewhere, I'd probably switch to a team in my region so I could actually watch games on TV, not be the only person at the bar rooting for my team, and have the option to go to see them in person with some regularity.

Outside of that, it's if the team did something that just doesn't align with my moral compass at all. Deshaun Watson would have done it. It's only a sportsball team, and I don't believe it's worth compromising my values in order to support. I could always take up crochet.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      Man.... you all have been ruined by Rhule and Fitt.  Take a moment to look back at areas where we improved and try to grasp on a glimmer of hope and optimism....   Week 1: Sept. 8 at New Orleans  (L) 0-1 I think, all things being equal, we split our divisional opponents.  The Saints are not scary, are not coached well, and are going to get old all at once.  However, being in the Superdome for the first game of the year I lean in to homefield advantage causing us to have a few careless mistakes at the wrong time.  Close game, 27-24 Saints  Week 2: Sept 15 vs. Los Angeles Chargers (W) 1-1 The Chargers have lots of work to do.  This game comes down to one main factor; can we stop the run.  I think our defense, at least at the beginning of the season will be firing on all cylinders.  Close game again, but this time we get the W 24 - 18 Panthers Week 3: Sept 22 at Las Vegas  (W) 2-1 I am a HUGE Gardner Minshew fan, but I don't believe the Raiders are much better than we are.  So long as we don't get beat up by their tight ends all game, I think we should be the better team if we pound the rock.  W - 24-21 Panthers Week 4: Sept. 29 vs. Cincinnati  (L) 2-2 This is going to be a reality check.  We feel good being over .500 for the first time since I can remember.  They are just better.  L - 31-21 Bengals Week 5: Oct. 6 at Chicago (W) 3-2 This is a PRIDE game.  We want it more. W - 24 - 15 Panthers Week 6: Oct. 13 vs. Atlanta (W) 4- 2 This is our turn to get a home W in our division.  Flacons are either going to be pretty good, or a huge bust.  Either way I think they will be susceptible for an upset here and there.  We weren't too far off from beating them last year.   W 27 - 24 Panthers Week 7: Oct. 20 at Washington  (W) 5 - 2  Their defense is good, Offense is a work in progress.... Sound familiar?  This will be bowling shoe ugly but I think we run it better than they do.  W 17 - 12 Panthers Week 8: Oct. 27 at Denver (L) 5-3 If this was at home I would choose us, but I don't see us winning at Mile High.  I will stick with the copy and past analysis on this one.  LSS - we cannot escape our cure of Sean Peyton. L 24 - 18 Broncos Week 9: Nov. 3 vs. New Orleans (W) 6 - 3 Home game, bad team, we win.  W - 27 - 24 Panthers Week 10: Nov. 10 vs. N.Y. Giants (Munich, Germany) (W) 7 - 3 The Giants have an improved pass rush and a rookie WR.  That is their strength.  I think we will be better prepared.  W - Panthers 27 - 21 Week 11: Nov. 17 BYE Week 12: Nov. 24 vs. Kansas City (L) 7 - 4 We'll get crushed, and hit the downward trajectory of our season starting now....  L Chiefs - 34 - 21 Week 13: Dec. 1 vs. Tampa Bay (L) 7 - 5 We are licking our wounds from the KC game and it shows up in the box score.  L - Bucs 24 - 15 Week 14: Dec 8 at Philadelphia (L) 7- 6 I think we give them a game, but come up short in the end.  L - Eagles 32 - 24 Week 15: Dec: 15 vs. Dallas (L) 7 - 7 I want to pick an upset here.  No Dan Quinn, Lots of pressure for Dallas, they have been really healthy for a long time.  But common sense prevails, they are better.  L - Cowboys 24 - 21 Week 16: Dec. 22 vs. Arizona (W) 8 - 7 Get right game, but a tough one.  We need this one to calm the huddle down.  W - Panthers 28 - 24 Week 17: Dec. 29 at Tampa Bay (W) 9 - 7 TB is right where we are.  This is our 50/50 spilt  W - 22 - 25 Week 18: Jan. 4 or 5 at Atlanta (L) 9 - 8 Falcons win the division.  We show improvement from much better coaching and offensive line play.  The Huddle is calms down, but like always is not happy. Full League Prediction: Prepare the poop emojis!!!!!

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By d-dave · Posted

      The problem that Bryce faces is his lack of prototypical tools.  He's not the tall, strong armed mobile QB that tends to get drafted first overall.  His game is not played in underwear on a practice field.  His best asset are his intangibles.  They aren't sexy like a cannon arm or a fast 40 yard dash. OK, so we took the lesser athlete.  Bryce put up a pretty bad season with a bad team around him.  The coaching staff, for all it's platitudes, sucked.  They made sure Bryce could run a huddle, but didn't help him get better as a player.  Bad choice. Compare that to what other teams did to their Rookies:  they put them in position to succeed with better personnel and better play calling.  Sure, there are physical differences which are going to affect the outcomes, but you can't change it. Am I trying to ride to the defense of Bryce?  Only a little.  He's my favorite team's QB, and I believe in him.  Now, he's got this year to show that he's "the No. 1 for a reason" (Thanks CJ Stroud).  Will he, won't he?  I don't know at all.  That's on the D&D crew to put Bryce is position to play well.  Running the ball is going to make things a lot easier for Bryce.  Does that discount his success if he plays well?  For some of y'all it will.  Some of y'all just don't like Bryce, like he stole you DoorDash or something. Regardless, let's see what happens in 2024.  If Bryce stinks it up, then we're going back to the QB well again.

      we may think we know, but we don't know. we won't know what effect upgrades on the OL, coaching staff, and WR room will have. we don't know what scheme canales is going to put together. we don't know a lot of things.  that's why we play the games...to see what shakes out. plenty of reasons to think Bryce is limited this year...again. Plenty of reasons to see an improvement in his play.
