We all have our reasons. What's yours?

Legitimately?

Growing up, I watched football with my dad, who loved the NFL. He didn't have a "real" favorite team, he just pulled for certain people. (I asked him about it later on, and he said that he was waiting for a Charlotte team.)

So, I grew up watching football with my dad. And finally, when Carolina got a team, he went over to it, and started watching all of their games. Since he did, so did I.

I've been a fan ever since.

What a great thread to make my first post. Been hunting for a Panthers board to post on and as a Notre Dame fan since birth figured there was no better time than now to join one...

Anyway, I'm a fan because I was an 8 year old kid with no NFL team living in South Carolina when the Panthers were born (technically I liked San Fran but since I was 8, I wasn't really a 'fan'). Carolina instantly won me over and I've been following throughout the team's history.

I didn't follow the NFL at all until 1996. I knew Carolina had gotten the NFL franchise and of course heard things about the team. When they begin to hit the hot streak at the end of that season the hype surrounding the team got my attention. The first NFL game I watched with real interest was the San Fran game. I finished watching the rest of the season and by the time they lost to Green Bay I was already so attached it felt heart breaking. For me, there wasn't a NFL until the Panthers arrived.

      We won, but Bryce and Canalas still blow

      Do you honestly believe this is a team that will even be in contention for a playoff spot this year? To me, if you're not at minimum a genuine playoff caliber team, every win you get is a meaningless win in the end.  This is the NFL, it's not peewee league where you just want to win a few games and have fun, you want to get into the playoffs and have a shot at making a SB run. We haven't had a winning season in how many years?   Does "enjoying" a small handful of wins every year really make for an enjoyable season for you? I said it months ago and I'll say it forever, I don't care about winning or losing this year, as we don't have a playoff caliber roster yet and I'm a realist about where we are as a franchise.  I'd enjoy watching the games so much more if the team and Bryce in particular were just showing marked improvement, even if it came in losses.   Because THAT would give me hope for the future of the franchise and the direction we're going. Bryce was complete garbage in Week 1, in Week 2 he was terrible until the Cardinals went into super soft prevent defense and then collapsed gain when the game was in reach, and he was a serviceable game manager today, but didn't make any throws that any college QB couldn't make. This game was a perfect chance to let Bryce go out there and play loose because of the lead, just let him be himself and see if it sparks his college self.  But instead, we went unbelievably conservative with the play calling to help ensure the win, when actual wins and losses are the least of our worries this year, it's figuring out what Bryce can be (fans may be decided, but the team obviously has not yet).

      I’m pretty sure Baker requested to be released.

      Pretty fair assessment overall. I can’t say a lot since I didn’t watch but going by the comments I am betting he (Canales) was very conservative and a large reason would be to prevent Bryce giving it away half the day.
