A question for Panther fans

I grew up a Dolphins fan because I liked watching Dan Marino play and I thought dolphins were the coolest animal or some weird crap. Either way, I still root for them a bit but not all that much.

I generally pull for teams that did poorly the previous year, but not all that seriously. I watch any game that's on because I like the sport, but I don't really follow any team closely other than the Panthers and to a much lesser extent the Fins.

Oh, and I almost always root for the Lions on Thanksgiving... lotta good it does them.

Grew up a Colts fan. Suffered through years of 2-14 seasons. I remember when Marty Domres and Jeff George were the QBs. Then the Panthers come to town and I struggled to switch, but I did. And the Colts get good.

So they are AFC and I root for them unless we play, but the passion is for the Panthers. I don't like to lose, but I admire loyalty. My friends picked on me for being a Colt fan, and they changed from the Steelers to the Niners to the Patriots.

Staying loyal to the team will makes the winning sweeter. That is why I don't come down on Clausen. There are 31 other QBs for me to criticize.

Nope, one team. Was a 49ers fan from about 1980 on, good timing huh? :) I tried to be a 9er fan and a Panther fan, but being in the same division at the beginning didn't help. Then the 49ers fired Mooch and the decision was made.

I can pull for the Steelers, Jets and Chiefs, but really I don't give a poo about them.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
