Just thought I should say hi to all the bandwagoners that decided to join us about 3 years down the road, I don't think I have seen most of you since 2005, might have seen some of you at the start of 2006 though. Anyways, make yourself at home... well until we lose twice in a row then I'm pretty sure you'll make your way out.

EDIT: I know I can't be the only one noticing all the new people.

Eh, Ive been a fan since 2001(year I started liking football) and that was a BAD year to become a fan of this team. Here I am still one of the biggest fans you will ever meet of the panthers. Seen plenty of ups and downs through the years, would never bail out on my panthers no matter how bad they get. Just because you haven't seen me on this site does not mean a da*n thing!

Some people who latch onto a team that's doing well do it because there's something about that team that draws them in. They might not have had a team before and might become a panthers fan for life. Good for them.

For anyone who feels holier than thou as far as bandwagoners - I submit this. EVERY single one of us hopped on the panthers bandwagon at one time or another - be it when they were a gleam in Jerry Richardson's eye, when it was announced we got the team, the first year we played, or whenever. I was a 49ers fan. I was a very early bandwagoner, but nonetheless, I was one.

Unless you've been here since the first game of the '95 season you were a bandwagon fan at one point, the Panthers fan base wouldn't grow without them, I personally did start really watching the Panthers until the '96 season, but I was also 10 at the time and the Panthers were my first Football team period that I have ever watched but I was still bandwagon.

As I said numerous amounts of times, I really really want to know why people bandwagon? HOW is it FUN AT ALL? The whole point of having a favorite team is to go through the good and the bad, and when good finnaly comes it makes it that much sweeter. Like we all endured the 2 horrid seasons 06 and 07 and now here in 08 we are flying high and it makes it soo much sweeter. If your a bandwagoner you just hop to the good team and you just say your a fan, inside it must not be all warm and fuzzy like it is for all us real fans.

you left off the biggest season that we had to suffer through the 2001 season(1-15) but then again are also 16 and probably don't remember it.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
