New York is hopping on the Panthers bandwagon


Recommended Posts

New York likes football. If the Panthers had beaten the Giants last year you may have gotten a bit of a different reception, but being in a different division it's generally ok. Plus NY is so huge, people from all over live there and follow teams.

I used to go into NYC with a Marino jersey and I was always amused by the dozens of other people wearing them too. 'Course back then, the Jets got blown out by Marino pretty often, so.

consider yourself lucky. i'm a Panther fan from Long Island, NY and nobody has shown any support other than the few Panther fans in my school. They are all just bandwagon Jets/Giants fans that there is gunna be a Subway Super Bowl every year. Good to see that the fanbase is growing, though.

Yeah, not only do people from all over live there, they travel there en masse. I took my wife and children to Manhattan in February and met alot of people, many from abroad, but nary a soul from NYC (who wasn't working).

That said, it's pretty remarkable and encouraging that Panthers gear drew a response from anyone, anywhere at all, other than here. To be sure, no one had anything to say about my Carolina Hurricanes cap when I was in NYC.

My girlfriend and her sister are die hard AU fans and now they will be Panther fans because of Cam. They can still stick it where the sun dont shine fuging Falcon fans.

My daughter just finished her Sophomore year at Auburn. She emailed me as soon as Cam was drafted and said she was a fan... Then she sent me another email two days later When we drafted Ziemba saying she was doubly a fan of the Panthers.

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
