HOPE & PANTHER NATION!

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.

    • Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts
    • From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
