tickets are sold out (or mostly sold out) most every game thanks to the kind psl owners.

we aren't in any danger of blackouts. only reason they are used is for teams that aren't making enough money in a lame attempt to get people in the stands, ie tickets sold. "you don't come to my games, i won't let you watch the game on tv".

it's a crap ploy.

Panthers core fanbase is loyal to a fault. The city of Charlotte as a whole though is not behind the Panthers. I come in contact with more fans of other teams than I do Panther fans. Alot of non-fans are non-fans because of our front office and the atmosphere here that is content with losing. Its weird talking to people who've lived here their whole lives who root for Duke or UNC or some other local team, but absolutely refuse to root for the Panthers and see them as a joke.

Being a native of Charlotte ,I think this is just your opinion and not fact. To say that people from Charlotte absolutely refuse to root for the Panthers and see them as a joke is BULL poo. You are just making stuff up.The people I know from here may get down on the Panthers but they don't refuse to root for them or see them as a joke.

I'm a 3 hours drive from Charlotte, I consider the Panthers as my home team. There is not alot of fans in my area, or I don't come into contact with many. Mostly, because most of the people here have had the Skins and Cowboys slammed dunked into them for so many years. There is a Steelers flag facing my Panther flag across the street from me.

All in all I think the fan base is growing here more and more because they are a close drive for us. We need to have a great year again and I think we would see more fans arise in more areas.

When I am in Charlotte all the fans I tailgate with are local loyal fans with PSL seats. They are the real fans in my book who set through more games than myself and see us continue to lose game after game. My hat is off to everyone of you, God Bless you all.

For such a young team, I think the Panthers have a great fan base. Look at Jacksonville for a comparison. Some of the problems in Jacksonville are due to the economy, but the people there have never taken to the Jags like folks here took to the Panthers. Not a day goes by where I don't see at least one person wearing some kind of Panthers gear around here.

PSL holders typically = non blackouts

For all the bashing of the 'wine and cheese crowd' thank those PSL holders for ensuring at least a good chance of no blackouts.

I'm a PSL holder, and I support the team regardless, because of the money involved, and money is tight for everyone, except maybe pro athletes and coaches, I don't mind at all being vocal about stupidity, or about greatness.

Keeping Peppers, Delhomme, and giving away a #1 pick for Brown = stupid.

Deangelo Wiliams = greatnesses.

For the greatness, I continue to go.

Carolina Beach is not much of a sportstown. :)

Seriously, its hard to judge this area compared to areas that seem more loyal. The population is just so much more spread out here, that its really hard to judge if fans or more or less loyal. A place like Philly or New York has several times the number of people Charlotte does that live within a 30 minute drive or trainride to the stadium.

I live in Winston, and I generally attend 1-2 games a year. And for me to attend, its an allday evolution. I have to leave at 9 or 10 in the morning, and generally don't get home till 7 or 8 at night.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
