Cam's Popularity In Atlanta At A Braves Game

For what it is worth, I wore my Panthers gear to the Memorial Day Braves game. I refuse to over-exaggerate and post that every person I made eye contact with bro-hugged me, but it was a little out of control at the Varsity when at least six people at once were at mine and my brother's table giving us high fives and asking about what Charlotte thought about Cam. Sat in section 220R, row 7 seat 6 and had three or four more families (not people) ask me if I was a Panther fan during the game, I assume based solely on my hat and T. They love H.A.M., Ace Boogie in Hotlanta and the Panthers are starting to get fans outside of the Queen City. Braves got stomped, but I left feeling like a winner.

My 7 year old son had his jersey on when we were on our way to Disney. Stopped at Cheddars in Savanah for dinner and we had 4 different individuals approach us and comment about Cam. Hasn't been this way since Delho............

The Atlanta Braves and Falcon fans have never disrepected Panther jerseys ta=hat I've see, in fact quite friendly folks. They do have a little hatred for the Saints* but who doesn't? Tampa fans are also respectful to opponent fans I've found to be true.

There's a good number of Cam Newton/Panther fans in Atlanta. I know quite a few myself. Soon, panther territory will stretch from Newport News, VA to Auburn/Opelika, AL lol

Side Note: sucks seeing the Braves go through this losing streak. I'm a big J-Hey fan and he's struggling.

The only things there's more of than black people in Atlanta are Auburn grads. As soon as they walk across the stage to get their management degree or MBA they keep walking east down 20 until they get an entry level job at some accounting firm.

It's basically "love the Falcons, but cheer for Cam."

Also keep in mind Cam is from a really shitty part of Atlanta and is already rebuilding the entire town down there. He's kind of a god.

Gotta also remember most of the Falcons fans that have put a horrible taste in our mouths were Vick fans, not Falcon fans. Cam also appeals to urban youth and fans like Vick did, but not in a thuggish way, more like how Obama appeals to urban youth. A big portion of these fans are switching over to being Cam fans.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
