I understand we're not a historic or even that popular of a team...but if people don't know the difference in us and the Jags, well, they're idiots.

Their Saints fans so the fact that they are idiots should be assumed.

Thought that article was hillarious and spot on.

Yea, I've been stationed or otherwise lived all over the country from NC to Cali to Hawaii, from Texas to Illinois.  I have had to go to sports bars to watch the Panthers since the turn of the century.  I've never witnessed NFL fans not being able to recognize or differentiate one team from another.  When I was in Hawaii, there was even another Panther fan at the bar I watched games at, and she was from Cali.   Hell, my Panthers jersey was recognized out here in Australia once...I was walking downtown in my blue Smitty jersey and some random Australian dude passes me and hollers "yea Panthers!" as I walk by.  So if anyone has actually seen someone not be able to tell the Panthers from the Jags, that person is just the most ignorant "fan" in the world.

I had a brief interaction with a Luxembourger Panther fan last month. 

 

I'm pretty sure that anyone who doesn't know the NFL teams from each other also doesn't know which teams play which sports and are the same people that talk about home runs in reference to football games. It says nothing at all about the Panthers and everything about the person making the statement.

"Cam celebrates too much" does translate into to black

Also

"Cam's a "thug"" translates into I wish it was 1960 so I could use the word I was really going for.

Black people celebrate too much? From my time in Africa and Mexico I would honestly say that the Mexicans are the masters of celebration. They have the best holidays and festivals you will find. Most of Africa is very very laid back and reserved.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
