70% Michael Vick jerseys

14% Random Falcon players jerseys

14% Cam Newton jerseys

2% plain shirts

I didn't see as many Vick jerseys as I thought I would. Saw a few Peppers and Mushin jerseys.

Generally speaking, the crowd I was with was relatively entertaining:

* a ton of Auburn fans there to cheer on Cam

* one proud Falcon-cheering dad with his 1 or 2-year-old son who was proudly wearing a Cam panthers jersey. I motioned over to him, with a "what the hell, Dad?" kinda thing and a big smile/thumbs up towards the kid. Dude laughed, shrugged his shoulders and indicated that it wasn't his choice what the kid wore. Pretty funny to me.

* A larger Panthers contingent than I've seen in the past 4 years or so, making the trek down I-85. Kudos to them.

Yeah, the game kinda sucked, but there are enough other threads to talk about that.

From where I was sitting, I saw a ton of open/empty seats throughout the game. And they call themselves local fans, too.

The good: Lots of Panthers fans stuck through to the final seconds of the game, while the fair-weather Falcon fans were migrating out in the middle of the third quarter so they don't get caught in traffic (boo-hoo!).

The funny: the customary post-game shout-out, "have fun on that four-hour drive back to Carolina!". My reply, "Dude, I live here -- I'll be home before you leave the parking lot!" Their response: "have fun on that 10-minute walk back home!"

The bad: the obnoxious Falcon fans blaring their car horns and shouting out their windows to any Panther jersey they saw. You're cheering that much/that excited because the Falcons beat a team that's only won one game this year? Yeah, good for you.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
