I started to let go when we lost the Super Bowl and checked out for good when Cam left the first time.  Since Tepper took over, this team has done nothing but stink and devoting any time/effort/mental space is a waste.  I own PSL's and haven't been to a game since before Covid.  There's just nothing to be excited about and I don't see that changing until after this season.

Even as a mod, I'm getting close.  

My dad gave up his PSLs he got year 1, finally, this year.  They're not in Charlotte anymore, finally were like its not worth trying to give away half of these that they won't travel in for.  Everyone in my orbit is out of Charlotte minus a select few.  There's not much tying me to the team anymore.  

My parents are both from Chicago, I live in the north shore, my wife & I just had our first (boy), and I'm seriously thinking he'll grow up a Bears fan (I know, not that much better haha).  And I was perusing through some old photos of me as a kid, and realize my dad had me in Bears & Cubs gear all the time.  Moved to Charlotte in 92 as a youngin' and when the team came, the fandom just happened to us all.

Not a big football merch guy, but all I've got left is one Kuechly jersey that I never wear and a carhart Panthers hat that is for hiking/house work.  Times are a changing and honestly, I'm tuning out.  

I dettached from the Hornets about 3 years ago entirely.  This feels eerily similar to when I was just completely dettached emotionally from a fan standpoint.  And it's just football at the end of the day.  I just want to watch some fun games at this point.

These days I consider myself more of a follower than a fan.  There's no point in expressing any passion about this franchise.  I've just been working on my golf game on Sundays.

When it comes to football in general, I delight in watching the greatness of Patrick Mahomes continue to unfold.  I'm really enjoying watching Brady fanboys melt down as Mahomes assaults the record books.

I never watched college football growing up, only NFL. I never rooted for a team because one never represented my state,  SC, only players. I liked Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, Walton Payton and Emmitt Smith. I considered them to be high character players. This is why I'm a fan of the Carolina Panthers. I won't stop being a fan because we suck and we do absolutely suck. I believe in supporting teams that represent my state much more than choosing a team with a winning record, that's a follower, not a fan...

    • That he gets worse while at the same time getting more exposure is just typical.
    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
