Hey to all the bandwagoners!

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.

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
