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.

      He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.

      I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
