Has the media really been to tough on us?

[TheMaulClaw]

We're 4-3 and as soon as we got over .500 we've been getting some love.  I don't think the media has a serious bias against us.  I've really sort of gotten the impression that the media actually really wishes we were good.  It's not like we had bad ratings when we went to the Superbowl.  ESPN probably can't wait until Cam blows up.....cha ching.  Now all we need is to destroy the Saints in our all black unis.  Even though my Panthers' custom Madden uni choice is my favorite.  Black pants, blue jerseys, blue socks, all black shoes..

You win, they recognize you exist.  You win more, they talk about you more.

When you haven't had a winning record in 5 years, don't expect acknowledgement and respect to come immediately.

I'm more worried about getting too much press and the player believing the clippings.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we historically CRAP in our all black suits???

Do you watch ESPN? Sports nation?

They are simply looking for a story to tell and time to kill on their shows, websites, or printed pages in order to sell advertising. Beyond that they don't care.

don't even listen to the retards who think there is (was) a media conspiracy against us. we have been mostly an irrelevant team for the past 5 years. you never hear the media talk about the raiders, titans, etc is because they are consistently mediocre. theres no excitement in that. we have been mediocre since jake delhomme poo the bed in january of 09.

I agree to an extent.

 

I don't think the media is entirely on our side yet. It's just that we like to feel good about ourselves, so when there's positive press about us, we throw it in the limelight here and act like it's the sole truth. When somebody trashes us, we go in a frenzy.

 

It's pathetic, but that's what happens when we haven't been relevant for years. When we just get a sliver of relevance, the fanbase tries to hold on to it for dear life. 

 

We're 4-3...we cleared a big hurdle and there's a light at the end of the tunnel but we haven't really done anything yet. Still a long way to go.

We've played in them once in the regular season and lost.

We've played in them twice, both times last year. Not exactly historically...

[KendrickPanther]

Did this guy try to sneak in a uni thread during the season? I'm on to you.

We haven't worn them enough to be historically anything in them.

 

They've been worn twice.  Once was preseason and doesn't count. Once was a regular season loss to Denver.

I don't care if they say we are good or not. I just want them to actually do their homework and be educated.

I do think the media has been unfair to Cam though.
