The fact people refuse to support one of our players because of "XYZ" is pathetic.

We have the worst fanbase in the NFL.

there is a big difference in your definition of support and ours.

I will cheer for and support any player on the Panthers team....for I am a Panthers Fan.

That does not change my opinion that Newton was a reach....has played very poorly in the preseason....has a long way to go in his development....and is no where near ready to be a starting QB in the NFL.

I will not boo him....I will not call for his head....I will not be happy if he fails. Because if he fails, the Panthers fail.

I hope that he is everything that many people on here believe he will be...and do think that he has the skills to be good. But, he needs TIME.

I will not blindly follow anyone....I chose to think independently and assess the situation.

Or maybe they could care less as long as they identify with "their team". Its not far fetched for a team that has 4 winning seasons in 16 years. Perhaps there are other things that attract people to this team outside of "winning" which we've never done CONSISTENTLY.

:lol:

KT trolling is still KT trolling..

You are not smarter than an NFL GM.

Any NFL GM for that matter.

Worst fanbase in the NFL.

Who says? I know you build a team around 3 cornerstones QB, LT and RDE. I also know dual threat College QB's are a huge risk and have a very low success rate in the NFL. I know NOT to take a guy with only 1 year of real college success (no JUCO isn't real college success no matter how badly Camites want it to be) with all the red flags.

I know for fact I could have made better decisions than Hurney and a number of other GM's. Unfortunately the NFL is a good ol boy network and there are many guys sitting in NFL teams offices that could be 10x the GM's the current ones are, but will never get that shot. And YES many fans are smarter than current GM's.

Worst fanbase? No I am just a realist and I do love the PANTHERS as a team. Do I have to love the owner, or GM, or HC, or certain players? No.

Message board posters who claim with zero formal training that they are better than NFL GMs. Another example of why the huddle community rightfully gets dumped on by outside observers.

Outside observers can suck it. And Why the hell do you care what anyone outside the Panthers fan base thinks anyway?

As for as us posters saying we are better, well many are. I will try this again was matt millen worth a poo as a GM? Was Marv Levy? I can go on and on and on, but as others have stated just because you work your way through the good ol boy network, it doesn't mean you are really worth a poo.

Was Rich Kotite (sp) a good HC? Again, just because you got into a position doesn't mean you are worth a damn. So lets drop that bull poo already ok?

I back the Panthers (see I can do that too, AND add italics!) and do NOT back all the players. Nor does it say anywhere that I have to.

Woah man, I was going in solo on this and nowhere did I infer or call out another poster. Someone is extremely touchy...sheesh.

FYI, The reason I bolded that is stating that I back the team and not individual players moreso than others; the reason such a single player pledge is asinine.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
