New research shows Panthers fans to be the least loyal in NFL

Heard this earlier on WFNZ. We're 32 out of 32, New England's #1:

I think if we're talking right this second, I can't argue with that. Last season it got to the point where you had people posting about how they were mocked for wearing Panthers gear....in the city of Charlotte. However, I was there for that MNF game vs. Tampa Bay back in '08. If this team gives us ANYTHING, we'll support them.

Ranking Browns fans in the bottom five tells me that survey is flawed.

That, plus they're selling their services...

That's a b.s. measurement. It's obviously measuring popularity, not loyalty. The top teams are all teams that have been good recently. Washington would be in the top 5 if this poll was any good.

Loyal means you stick with the team through thick and thin. Good teams like the Patriots have loyal fans AND bandwagon fans because the team is a perennial playoff contender, so that inflates their popularity. The Panthers only have loyal fans because we suck right now. The only way to know which team has more loyal fans is if the Patriots had a 1-15 season this year, then compare the number or loyal fans versus our loyal fans.

Browns, Raiders and Redskins fans on the bottom of the list make me very suspicious about their methodology.

exactly.

we also had the worst team in the NFL and that was coming off a disappointing 09 season and no games were blackout. How many games do you think the Bucs and Jags had combined this year......

If anything, their rankings may be completely backwards...

You're telling me Raiders and Browns fans are bandwagoners? lol

They've been through some rough stuff and are still there no matter what. Raiders were one of the most successful franchises in the NFL but have been pretty bad for awhile no and the Browns have never had any huge success, yet their fans still support them.

I think they're just trying to capitalize off of our bad season. This team hasn't lost any fandom that I've seen - just look at the debates over the college players we might draft.

    • 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.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • 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.
