How strong is your allegiance to the Panthers?

After talking with many Panthers fans, I've found a disturbing trend (to me) among some fans. This came to light after talking with friends tonight about the Saints/Cowboys game. I despise both teams, but will never root for the Saints because they are Panther rivals.

Given that the Panthers are out of the playoffs and down the tube for this season, many fans are rooting for the Saints. When questioned why, they've said to me, "Well, I want my division to be represented. If I need to root for another team, they might as well be a good team from the NFC South."

:eek:

For myself, I will never root for any NFC South team besides the Panthers. Even if another NFC South team faces against my ultra-loathful teams (Patriots/Cowboys/Steelers/Eagles), I still will refuse to root for an NFC South team. To me, division rivals are never to be talked about positively. They are half of the games the Panthers must play each season. They are THE main hurdle to a good record.

Are these fans actually the norm? Are they just fair-weather fans?

Am I too narrow-minded?

What do you guys do when watching other NFC opponents play?

I really don't get the hate for the Saints. We nearly always beat them no matter how good our team is or theirs is and their franchise has had zero success. I hate Atlanta and Tampa Bay for sure, but not New Orleans. They don't even feel like an NFC South team even this year. Maybe if they win a Super Bowl I'll start to dislike them.

I despise the pats and the cowboys. I pull for anyone playing against those two teams, this includes the bucs saints and falcons. I can honestly say that I love the panthers more than I hate any specific team in the NFL, so basically any game that is on that does not involve the panthers, I really don't care about.

so basically what I'm saying is that I don't care about the bucs saints or falcons to root against them when they aren't playing the panthers. when they play the boys or the pats, I root for the other team.

saints, falcons, bucs are the enemy

hatred is felt towards the cowboys and pats. with the cowboys it's a life long thing.

still....when the pats or cowboys play our rivals in the nfcs...i'm going to be pulling for the pats and the cowboys.

this right here.

lived on the mississippi gulf coast for a short while, and having to deal with saints fans made me hate them more than any other team.

      Darin Gantt: Inside the Panthers draft room

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I know people get mad when I point this out but there are usually only 1-2 maybe 3 solid players each draft. Everyone likes to hype up in the offseason and think all 7 will be Pro Bowlers but realistically in my opinion: Freeling- Solid Starter for a while probably makes it to 2nd contract. Hunter- Turns out to be best player of the group. Turns into a Kawaan Short type DL. Brazzell- Serviceable, some flashes but doesn’t make it to a 2nd contract. Too slow in the short game, takes a while to build up speed, runs awkward on routes. Lee- I just don’t see it on tape. Maybe a taller version of Troy Pride.  Hecht- I think he will be around for a little while. Reminds me of Mays, where he was shaky at first but eventually became dependable. Wheatley- Really like him. Think this will be a guy that sticks around a while as a borderline starter/solid back up. He’s already probably better than Nick Scott. Kuwatch- Probably a depth/practice squad guy a few years and fizzles out.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      And I believe the 1st matchup was Shough’s 2nd career start.   Remember Bryce’s 2nd start?    If you don’t, no sweat, he will probably replicate it a couple more times this year.

      For a topic that started as a lighthearted, off-season "hey, bryce should keep the beard" banter, this thread sure took a turn
