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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
