This is the literal definition of a bandwagon rider lol .

 

A quitter perhaps? Spoiled, ie didn't get my way? Just know this, I saw this same thing with Chris Weinke 1-15, met with Steve Smith he labeled me a "true fan", that is equivalent to me saying "he's going to become a star".  Duh..At that time he was still on special teams. I will never give up or turn my back on MY Panthers!

I mean we would have to see who he jumps to. Does he pick the Eagles, Chiefs, 49ers? If he picks some meh team like Cleveland or Denver then I wouldn't say it's bandwagon riding. To each their own. I don't see the offense to the term when it fits with what he was saying. 

How about instead, let’s not negatively label someone as a bandwagon fan, who literally isn’t one. They have essentially been a panther fan from the jump, so clearly they aren’t that. 
 

Someone is literally trying to improve their short life, by pruning negative poo, in favor of something potentially better aligned with their family flourishing. 
 

Just because we can’t escape this shitshow, it doesn’t mean we have to fully embrace sadism.

What's wild is that most even mediocre seasons, this team, like others, produced consistent highlights and fun TDs.  Big plays, defensive TDs, etc.  This year has maybe 3-4 total plays you can throw on a reel from 13 games.  The QB has the 2nd lowest YPA in NFL history for a starter behind only Jamarcus Russell.  It's insane how anemic this offense is. 

It's an insult to the sport and every fan to produce a team this bad.  We're easily one of the worst ever NFL squads in the 21st century.

This has me thinking more about the whole “bandwagon” thing. 
 

We don’t know these players. We don’t know the coaches. We don’t know the front office. We don’t know the owners.

 

Yet “quitting” a team, is treated like personally quitting.

 

Like if you personally have a challenge in front of you that you actually COULD control, and you quit that. You give up: I understand how that could be a negative; how that could be frowned upon.

 

But quitting a football team who doesn’t know or give a poo about you outside of money you can give them?

 

I don’t see how those are the same thing, and how those two situations should be treated equal, outside of seeing others irrationally do that, and just adopting that learned attitude.

 

Best case scenario? You can brag to other fans how you “stuck it out and were loyal” during Bryce’s rookie year…and…no one will give a poo. The flip side? You were miserable for 17 Sundays a year just for that moment you could tell someone you were there during the bad times…which once again…they won’t care about.

I’m starting to hear rumors Tepper is spending much more time home in Jersey and may be selling. Don’t give up hope yet.

Wishful thinking? Or actual sources?

He’s still printing money from this franchise being terrible, I don’t see him being so upset and embarrassed about his management that he decides to stop collecting free billions from his investment

I am allowed to call out what it is. I said it was a bandwagon rider definition. I didn’t say it in a positive or negative light. If somebody doesn’t want to be a bandwagon fan, then don’t. If you want to be one, that’s cool, too.

Tepper with his meddling ruined a respectable franchise. Sure we had ups and downs but there was always young guys to get excited about and we could see where the team was headed. Now…it’s a complete disaster. Tried cast off QBs when they should have just sucked for draft capital. Terrible trades. Gave away a generational RB in CMC. Sold the farm for a bust QB. Now we hand the #1 pick over to the Bears with zero hope in sight.

“All I did was call them an asshole. I didn’t say it in a positive or negative light. If someone doesn’t want to be an asshole, then don’t. If you want to be one, that’s cool, too.”

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
