Never cared for the nfl but would watch highlights while catching up on ncaa action; usually knew the rookies and when i saw 89's first return go for a TD while living in Lejeune I had to keep looking in on him. Never looked away and now I have 'Lina blue walls over here.

:cheers2:

^ Exact same, even the town. Except mix Cowboys with Redskins as well.

I wasn't a Redskin fan but Darrell Green is my all time favorite player.

(I haven't been to Reidsville in 4 years, I need to go back and get me so Short Sugar's.)

They're not, but I got invited over here in 2005 from some of the fans and it turns out there's a lot of funny poo that goes on here and you guys are generally cool(even to us rivals) This board is probably the best board I've ever been on and the official Bears board sucked at the time. i rooted for the Panthers in 2003 in the SB and also after being on here I do root for the Panthers a lot more, just not when they play a certain team from the midwest that starts with a "C", ends with an "O" and has "HICAG" in the middle.

i was born and raised in myrtle beach, sc. i never liked any sports even though my grandfather religiously watched any sport on tv. then in 2003 when the panthers went to the superbowl i tried paying attention to football really hard and started to understand everything. then the next few years i was getting really really into it and learning all the players from all the teams. and in 2007 i became a die hard panthers fan. the main thing i love about the team is they are always always always an underdog. and everybody i know always talks down on Carolina about everything they do. and i always find ways to defend them :)

and now today, because the panthers went to the superbowl and i started paying attention to nfl. now im like a sports fanatic. i live for college football, basketball, nba, nfl. i love sports.

oh and im 21

I became a Panther fan after watching them lose their 3rd game to the Rams back in '95. I have been a Raider fan since I was 7, when they beat the Eagles in SB XV, and as I grew up I wanted an NFC team. One day I will see both my teams in the SuperBowl, one day...I almost went Giants, being from NY, almost went Dallas, the year they went 1-15 -the only team they beat that year was the Redskins, I can dig that. So I was still undecided and working on a tugboat in Morehead City, NC. Only had rabbit ears on the TV on the boat, but got to watch the game going home up the Intercoastal Waterway. Got home that night, told my Mom that the Panthers were my new team, and she loaded me up with Panther gear that Christmas. Going into the '96 season I was all about them, even had somebody call me a bandwagon fan 'cause they were winning, and they were quickly corrected by my friends, as I was hollering Carolina before the season started. They made that NFC championship run then and I have not looked back. I still dig my Raiders, its tough right now, but Carolina is more my team now that Oakland ever was...

3. Because I got tired of the roller-coaster ride that is being a Skins fan.

So being a Panthers' fan is like a driving a Mercedes on the Autobon; a smooth thrilling ride?

I got your point, ex-Skins fan here too. But outside of ownership, the Panthers haven't the model of consistancy.

I started playing football in highschool, but i never had a team, didn't like the chargers, even though i'm from Cali. But i was a huge fan of Steve Smith since i'm undersized and he was undersized, but he teared through everyone. Started to watch the Panthers more and i realized they were kind of an underdog team especially in 03. And just started to watch the panthers more and more and realized how i loved how they played. So thats that!

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
