The Panthers are just an absolute mess of a bumbling, moronic franchise. The reality is that as long as JR is our owner, we Panther fans may as well find something else to do on Sundays (or whatever gameday happens to be) - either that or continue to torture ourselves. Imo JR doesn't deserve my/our devotion. I know we love cheering for "our" team, but the reality is that we are just another man's bitch, cheering on his ineptitude, faithfully giving him our dollars and always returning like a wife who is continually beaten yet is convinced that this time her man will change.

I think we need to look at ourselves as fans. What are we really doing other than championing the success of someone else's business. I know we all love competition, and many of us- myself included- played sports growing up, and it's just a part of who we are. I guess I am getting to the point that I just realize the foolishness of it all. Even if we turn it around in future years and were really competitive and finally reached and won a Super Bowl- so what?! Wave our flag, promote our superiority?! Strut around like we've done something. LOL! We're all pathetic.

I don't get how folks can think this is JR's fault. I think he has shown a willingness to do his part to field a winning team and a professional organization (with the exception of the labor dispute year, and that was extenuating circumstances). All Jerry can do is hire in people he has confidence can do the job. You don't make hasty decisions about those people based on three games. When a sufficient amount of evidence has accumulated to base a decision on, JR pulls the trigger (see Capers, Seifert, Fox, and his own sons for examples). Whatever our problems are, they don't start in the executive suite. They start in the locker room.

sounds like you are giving yourself permission to go find another team to cheer for and i for one am 100% behind your decision.

either do that or suck it up....but whatever you do (and not just you, but all these little whiners who can't find anything good to say about the panthers that call yourself "fans") just do it and get off the f*cking fence.

I don't think you really read my post. I'm giving myself permission to not cheer for anyone.

I am a Panthers fan because I enjoy football as entertainment and like to cheer a team I have always had an interest in. But I am adult enough to realize that it is a business transaction I willingly engage in, and I don't feel like I got cheated when they lose. I accepted that risk as part of the deal of being a fan, and that's that. But come on, if you're just now realizing how juvenile that attitude is that's just sad.

If you're posting here you aren't the type of fan who just quits rooting, so quit pretending. You'll be there next Sunday, and each and every Sunday. Signing right up for it again. And you know it, so stop lying to yourself.

See you next Sunday.

Your are right in that these guys will never stop cheering. They may stop buying psl's and start buying single game tickets. Thats what the panthers listen to.

I don't feel as if I've been cheated when they lose. I do feel like it's a waste of energy win or lose. We all act like the Panthers successes are our successes, and their failures are devestating to us. We get so invested in the outcome of someone else's efforts, and I am just amused by our foolishness- mine included. I realize that my post is counter to the nature of a fan forum. I feel as if I'm losing my desire to be a fan- of any team. I feel like I'm reaching a point where I won't get any joy from the Panthers success and I am losing the ability to care one way or the other.

The way to do it is relish the successes and ignore the losses. You are not the players, you have no responsibility to feel bad for their failures. That's the benefit of being a fan.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
