Panther fans being called out again

When Redskins quarterback John Beck scrambled into the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown in the third quarter of the Panthers' 33-20 win on Sunday, a cheer went up from several burgundy-hued sections of Bank of America Stadium.

The reaction did not go unnoticed by those on the home sideline.

"You don't want to see that. You don't want to have a bunch of maroon fans in the stands," left tackle Jordan Gross said Monday. "But if we were undefeated, you probably wouldn't have that many. So hopefully the fans recognize the importance of home field and home games, and they're keeping their seats for Panthers fans."

Still, Rivera understands establishing a home-field advantage is a process.

"We appreciate" the fans, Rivera said. "It was tough (Sunday). It was a pretty raucous crowd with a lot of Redskins fans in the crowd. We want to look up and see a sea of blue."

Jerry needs to lower the PSL prices for a season so we can get more young fans locked in. Or, how about opening a non-PSL season ticket section. I'm tired of dealing with opposing fans. Luckily my PSLs are in a pretty solid section but we still get the trash from other teams.

McDermott said he thought Bank of America Stadium was a tough place to play when he was with the Eagles.

"When we used to play here, I thought this was a good place to play in terms of a hostile environment, with physical, tough football players. And I still believe that," he said. "I've come to realize that these fans, when you put a good product on the field, they're one of the best fan bases in the NFL."

It's time to step up people.

The cheapest way to get tickets is to just buy them. If people want to go then they can just go. I'm not sure how adjusting PSL prices are going to fill the stands with people who aren't going the cheaper route that's available.

PSLs/Season tickets are a commitment. Just going down to the stadium on a whim creates situations like Sunday. Season tickets can always be scalped, sure. But when the Panthers are selling PSLs at $3k minimum, that eliminates a large portion of fans that could afford just regular season ticket packages.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
