I used to be die hard for my sports teams. Like a loss would ruin my day. I’d schedule EVERYTHING around games. Then the Oakland A’s gutted everything and got rid of players that are MVP candidates and are moving to Las Vegas. The Panthers poo the bed always. It’s made me realize sports fandom is more like a marriage then a one sided obsession. If the teams I am married to are not gonna work on the marriage and keeping the spark alive, then why the fug am I? I won’t cheat and root for someone else because my heart simply isn’t in it, but my interest is certainly fading. I’ll always love these teams, but planning my day around them instead of living my life? Those days are loooong gone for me brother!

Us Braves fans appreciate the Oakland A's contributions to our roster!

I'm still a fan, this sucking would sting less if we had all of our draft assets though. If they dont win a couple games after the bye week I'll be ready to blow up the front office starting with Fitterer since he built this team.

That is the main reason I've stopped watching.

I'm friend with a Jets fan, Bills fan, etc. They even say they feel sorry for me. They literally said our situation is worse than any situation they've seen in a while. That's how bad it's gotten. Not having a first rounder and sucking like this is just a recipe for people to stop watching.

Cheap ass vacation. Not much at all. 

Especially flying out of Oakland on southwest. My wife doesn’t jam me up much on little trips like that, especially since she gets big trips regularly. We are going to Cabo in a few weeks and I am taking her to see Taylor Swift in Japan next year.

I’d love to hear your expanded thoughts on this. What about the game currently do you think is going to be ruined? I ask seriously as I don’t watch CFB outside of some Stanford games and I don’t know what rule changes are making it more like pro football and are going to ruin the game as it is for a lot of people. I ask because you’re not the first person I’ve heard say this. 

NIL doesn't exist.  That was just an idea that quickly got polluted.  It's just pay to play.  Bags of cash to rent players.  Millions. That's just flat out professional football.   And unlike the NFL, it's not designed for parity.  Never really has been but this will continue to make that way worse. There will be schools that embrace the pro aspect and have the dollars to do so.....and then there will be colleges without the budget nor want to be part of the minor league NFL system.  It will kill a lot of the tradition along the way IMO. 

early stages, but you can basically take Deion Sanders and Colorado as the textbook case and push what they are doing forward.  Now take that model and have Bama doing that post Saban with the money and want.   It basically is going to take the flawed under the table model/booster model....and inject it with steroids.   But instead of bribing high school kids you can just go build a legit college all star team year to year.   So take a Marvin Harrison Jr? Well, in the future he won't stay at Ohio St once CJ Stroud leaves.  Someone will just pay him a couple million to play that final season for Georgia.   

But who knows.  Last decade it basically was Bama, Clemson, UGA Ohio St, OU and Michigan, ND.  So maybe nothing matters.

Not gonna lie, college football is starting to just become a lot more entertaining IMO than the NFL. If I'm being honest, there's just a lot of bad football being played in the NFL right now.

This is true. I probably drove the 130 miles to see the Panthers for the last time this year. UNC and Duke are filling up their stadiums with fans hungry for a winner. A lot of PSL owners and others are turning to attending more college football.

I know if we kept Freeman we wouldn't have gone for Olson but could you imagine this batting line? Acuna, Albies, Olson, Freeman, Riley, Ozuna, Harris, Murphy and Rosario. Opposing pitchers would have nightmares.

I agree with above poster, we spend way too much time, $$ and emotional baggage with the Panthers. We pay $1k a week for home games and our star running back is pissed off he gets booed.. keep in mind his stats. That was the final straw for my game crew. 

I totally understand 

I have one year left on my license.  I mistakenly  renewed for 4 more years when Ron left 

it is entertainment and a roll of the dice but if the panthers were a broadway show or a concert, they would have been shut down years ago 

I told my  Panthers  concierge that Tepper needed to learn the old Italian saying of ‘don’t poo where you eat’.  Nfl translation. DONT LOSE  AT HOME

what bothers me is I see zero swag  zero give a damn   zero passion.  

Look at Icky  he used to be the meanest bastard in college now, he’s just glad to be here   He needs to man up 


zero Passion  in the HC or the QB and below zero in the supporting cast 

where is Duce  where is Brown 

If  the product we pay for doesn’t give a damn, why should we spend money on them or our time

Yes it stinks, especially after hopes were high. I don't think I have been as happy about Panthers football in a long time then when I saw an alert pop up on my phone that we had traded for the #1 pick. I was like, they must have loved Stroud after the GA Bulldogs game!!!

 

We had A LOT of pre-season buzz and well know it is a buzzkill, I get it, it stinks, getting closer to a decade of non-meaningful football. 

 

BUT

Many of us are long time sufferers, we will get through this year as we have others. It WILL hurt watching Chicago with two top 5 picks but this is Carolina Panthers football at its fines. I feel like one of the elders here, we've had some amazing posters over the years. 

I commit to still attending the games, even if I leave at halftime since Frank Reich's offense is more effective then Melatonin

I commit to still going to my two remaining away games (Chicago, Jacksonville)... I know... I know

I commit to watching the away games because even in train wrecks we all can't help but look to see the carnage

I commit to renewing my PSL tickets next year, I know but what else can a hopeless fan do.

 

I commit, will you?

I don't need a fuging pledge nor do I need to give it to the Panthers. I've been a fan for as long as I've watched the NFL, growing up close to Charlotte, with a team that came into existence when I was just 4 years old.

I'm not a Bryce Young fan. I'm not a Cam Newton fan. I'm not a Jake Delhomme, Steve Smith, Peppers, Stewart, Williams, Moose, Walls, Hoover, Kuechly, Gross, Mick Mixon, Anish, etc. fan. Thus I will not require a pledge. 

I am a Panthers fan. There is no alternative. I may quit watching and just catch replays rather than risking the wrath of my wife every weekend for this garbage but still, I'm a fan. 

I also won't say nice things about Bryce Young's next 5 yard completion just to make the new age sensitive types happy here.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
