I've been on this forum for a few years. I've seen the lows. I know it's in our nature to doubt and to be discouraged by signs the team might struggle. But I've had about enough.

 

I've been a fan since my parents took me to the first home game EVER down in Clemson, SC. I've watched as the team went 1-15. I was there for the Cards Playoff melt down, in my Delhomme jersey and stayed until the last seconds ticked away. I paid for tickets to see the historically awful 2010 Panthers. I was there for the 2011 Titans blowout. I have braved the Spartanburg heat a number of years to catch a glimpse of our future. I have been through some of the toughest times in Carolina fans history, and yet I still have HOPE!

 

I can't understand how some of you can call yourselves "fans" and yet throw away the season because of a preseason game or a soaring pass from Newton that misses the target. Or how many can say if we don't win week 1, it's over. I hold out Hope until we are mathematically out of it. But then I turn my Hope towards the future. 

 

Yeah, we are due for a playoff run. And yes there have been some mistakes made, but wants the point of being a fan if you give up on the team before they even play a snap that matters. Some people may call me a "Homer" or say I'm not being realistic... Well, that's what being a fan is about. I may get upset if we lose a big game or get screwed out of a win, but I don't give up on MY TEAM. We may suck this season... That's a possibility. But I will hold on to my hope.

 

I've personally seen you guys come together in a fashion that is unheard of from any fan base (Greatest Uni Contest). Why can't we all be this devoted to the team year around?

 

Do I think we will beat the Ravens tis week? Yes.

Do I think we will win Week 1? HELL YES!

Do I think we will be SB Champs this season? Why the hell not?!?!

 

Could I be wrong? Possibly.

 

But it doesn't matter because EVERY SINGLE DAY I know in my heart I have Hope in this team. EVERY MINUTE I know.... I BELONG TO PANTHER NATION!

 

So this is my message. This is MY battle cry. Join me! Don't let the temptation to expect less than perfection creep in!

 

BE A PART OF PANTHER NATION AND NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!!!

 

or GTFO!

TL;DR

Kidding, but I've learned to just ignore the idiots. This forum is a metaphor for life, a sample size if you will. 90% of the posters are total morons and sheeple, constantly preaching that the sky is falling everytime they hear a talking head on espn. No amount of logic or reasoning can change them.

The other ten percent make it worthwhile to stick around, sit back and enjoy the show.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
