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.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
