I'm sick and tired of Panther fans that are meek and weak

Every time I listen to WFNZ or go on the Huddle, I'm bombarded with timid, weak, "woe-is-us" fans that are absolutely convinced that Luck isn't coming out or that our GM won't pick him.

Vince Lombardi once said: "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will."

When I look at the Panther fan base right now, I see fans with a lack of will. You see the failures of the past half-decade and have gotten so used to losing that you accept it. It's crept inside you where you no longer have the gusto to be an NFL fan. The failures have bred a mentality that Eeyore would love:

This has been an excruciating season, yes, and it hasn't been easy being a Panther fan over the past 5 years. But people: Odds are better than not that Andrew Luck is going to declare. No college player's stock in history has been higher than his. He has nowhere to go but down next year. And there isn't a single GM in our position that wouldn't draft Andrew Luck. Not even Matt Millen. And as much as I dislike Marty Hurney, he IS at least slightly more intelligent than Millen. So please stop going around with your head on the ground Eeyore-style. This season has been trying enough without you bringing it down even more.

Lack of will? You're talking to people who are here day in and day out posting and caring even after it was clear that our front office didn't even care about this season.

This isn't to anybody in particular. There ARE people here that post all the time just for the social aspect of it or because they just want to sulk and cry about how their lives suck. If you're not one of those people, more power to you.

+1 Gaz. I will cheer for my team (and will be taking a Jersey back home to the folks house next week so I can wear it in some bar to watch the Steelers game) until there is no team to cheer for. We have not given up on the Panthers, or can otherwise be thought of as having a lack of will.

I rooted for Carolina to win today just like I do every single week. I will not cry and pout if we lose on a #1 pick, but at the same time if we do get it I will not be blindsided by Luck not coming out. You have to be ready for everything.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
