Have you ever reached a point where you were actually going to switch teams?

Living in Kentucky back in the early 90's meant you pulled for either: bengals, Bears, Colts Or Lions. Nobody pulled for the Browns. There were no Titans or Panthers So I routed for the Chiefs. But the day they announced the panthers(having lived in nc off and on) it wasa like I had a home team finally. Never looked back and never will.

I was just old enough to slightly understand football when the Panthers played their first season (7 years old). I've grew up on them and could never switch to another team. If there weren't around, I probably wouldn't follow the NFL at all.

As for other sports, I kind of followed UNC when I was in high school. When I made the decision my senior year that I wanted to go to NC State I switched right then and never looked back.

I am a native North Carolinian. Carolina is my team. When I was a child, I was pissed that some states had several teams (NY, Missouri, California), while we had zero.

Like most of you, I would only give up on the Panthers if they ever left Carolina, which I don't see happening. When the Hornets left Charlotte, I was offended, so I gravitated away from supporting them. I think it would be worse if my CPs left. I may even loathe them for leaving...

I have been a fan since 94, when I was in the Navy and we were awarded a team. Before that, I was an Oakland/LA Raiders fan mostly because my uncle was. He introduced me to professional football. Teddy Hendricks, Lyle Alzado, Howie Long, Marcus Allen, and Bo Jackson all made me proud to wear the silver and black colors on Sunday. When the Carolina was selected to receive a team, I was ecstatic to see that we would be wearing those colors, too.

The bad seasons were hard to watch, the losing streaks have been embarrassing, the poor draft choices have been a tough pill to swallow, but I would never give up on my guys.

Never ever thought about changing teams. Like most of, I followed this team from 95 (I was 5, but luckily I had an older brother to tell me what was going on). Don't see myself ever changing.

I was a huge Hornets fan, until the New Orleans fiasco occurred. I still followed them since I really I've Baron Davis, but I started liking the Warriors (after moving to the Bay) too, so when he got traded to the Warriors in 05, and I used that to cut all ties to the Hornets.

If Jordan brings back Hornets to Charlotte, the warriors will still be my favorite, but I would definitely root for the Hornets.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By rayzor · Posted

      agreed. reich and fox were kind of similar in that i think their comfort zone with QBs were established vets.  any rookie QB would have been outside that. i do think that he might have been more comfortable with stroud than young, but i also still think that we would have been stuck in a bad place. there was more than went wrong than with the QB. nothing worked and QB issues were one of many symptoms of the problem that we found ourselves in with reich. the whole thing was too much for him. not only did he get a QB outside of his comfort zone, he got unfamiliar assistants that came from unfamiliar schemes. he had no prior relationship with most coaches he had added to his staff.  again, that staff was tepper's idea...get the dream staff with a billion years of experience and those who don't have a poo ton of experience were coaches that were considered up and comers for HC jobs.  reich is a mild-mannered passive likeable kind of guy. he wasn't the big dominant personality that would be needed to handle that staff.

      Panthers ranked as NFL's 2nd-worst roster

      By frankw · Posted

      I can't blame anyone in sports media for not believing we've made a big enough jump talent wise to compete. I mean let's be realistic. In the eyes of many of us here we were improved on paper under Scott Fitterer each offseason the last few years. Just because we're once again buying in doesn't mean the rest of the sports world will also. Then you go back to preseason last year and the downplaying of how horrific we looked not just offensively but as a whole. If we look competent in preseason  I will begin to feel some level of confidence about the direction of the team and so will those in the sports world. Until then nothing we've done matters.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Yeah we don't have a beast mode, and Bryce doesn't threaten with the play action/scramble deep shots. That's the majority of the reason that formula worked in Seattle during that stretch. I hope Brooks is a good back, but he's definitely not a beast mode type.
