Well gang, I just returned from the Outer Banks, and though it was a terrible season, I found that we still have staunch support up and down the coast. Like all (who are fans), eveyone I spoke with is excited about Cam and Coach Ron. Of course there were the pockets of transplanted steeler-yankee-a$$holes. (I know it's a rhetorical question... but if Pitt. PA is so damn great, then why are they all coming here?). Anyway Black and Blue nation is alive and well on the OBX.

My thoughts exactly, Pittsburgh is so great that everyone gets the hell outta there as soon as they can and most of them end up here... but our team, city, etc is "crap".

I don't expect anyone to give up the team they grew up with when they move here, but why can't you be a Steelers/Panthers fan if you live here?

It is easy to pull for a winner and the Panthers haven't been around forever. The reason you don't see Redskins fans all over the place is because they are terrible. If they ever start winning again, Skins fans will come out of the woodwork. This is a huge pet peeve of mine.

My other pet peeve are the Panther's street vendors. Every year when the Steelers or other popular teams come in town, our street vendors ***** themselves out and sell terrible towels, cheese heads, etc. I refuse to ever buy anything from them because they are so disloyal. They earn their living week in and week out off of Panthers fans then stab us in the back to make a quick extra buck. I am sure to remind them of this every time which I am sure they appreciate. ha ha.

I'm sure the Panthers will win a few Superbowls in the next decade, and the fan base will expand enormously. I became a fan when I saw the Panthers in the Superbowl as a kid. I bet one day if Ron can get us some rings we could be VERY popular; a great team with nice uni's! <--How could you not love em? Better than ugly Sleeler uni's. And do y'all think we could ever be like the Sleelers, Patriots, Cowboys, ect. after a decade or two of dominance?

I was up at Kitty Hawk a few weeks ago and I can confirm the OP's observations.

My Panther painted cornhole boards drew some friendly fellow fans into brief conversation, and overall people seem hopeful about the new beginnings here with Rivera/Newton.

Of course, the Shittsburgh contingent was also prevalent.

I had a place in Oak Island for awhile, and it was very staunch Panthers in Wilmington and in Myrtle Beach. Of course, living in Raleigh, there is nothing except ACC and NASCAR even outweighting the Hurricanes.

Love living in Raleigh, but, the city has Charlotte envy and I could not tell you why.

At least the local paper now covers the Panthers more as its Sports Dept is out of Charlotte for the most part, thank God...that's how bad the coverage is here, I thank God for the Charlotte Observer staff.

There seem to be a lot of Patriots fans in Raleigh, joy joy...and of course Steelers...have not seen very many Skins fans.

I lived in DC most of my life and I hated the Redskins. I hate them still.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
