Just curious as to why the Panthers are your team.

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.

^ 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!

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
