Extreme Bandwaggoning


Jakob

Recommended Posts

I decided to browse Facebook for the first time in a few weeks and, obviously, I follow the NFL Facebook page.

 

NFL posted a picture saying remember to vote for your favorite player.. The top liked comment was "Cam! Panthers all day baby!" The next post was about NFL Start 'Em Sit 'Em. Completely unrelated to any team but the top comment liked was "LET'S GO PANTHERS!!!! #keeppounding #panthernation #carolinapanthers WOOOOOOOO" Third post was ranking the top ten QB's from last week. Most liked comment was "BUT WHERE BE CAM THO? #Haters"

 

I met a guy in my town yesterday who was wearing a Beuerlein. He said "Oh yeah, I'm really happy to see this winning season our team is really playing well I've been a Fan since 1991..

 

 

 

Anyone else see a huge rise in so called "Fans" lately? It's waaaaaay worse then 03' 05' and 08' seasons.

See Falcons in 2012, Giants. Broncos, Seahawks, 49ers, and saints fans are the worst though. Fair weathers fans decide to latch onto a team and call it theirs. Some will stick, some won't. I personally hope all the people using hashtags on Facebook and professing the Panthers as their team since the AFL NFL merger would become more educated or disappear.

Come one, come all. I fuging love it. I want this region to bleed black and blue. I want Redskin, Cowboy, and Steeler fans to be suppresed. Welcome the bandwagon jumpers with open arms you holier-than-thou dickbags! Reach out with a hand and help thm climb aboard. Extend a huge middle finger to the opposing fanbase bandwagons in our region.

Bandwagons are how true fans are born.  It is OK, and I am glad to see my team creating excitement in others who were not fans before.  They may jump when you do, yell and scream with each score, but you have depth and passion for the team, something that will take them time to develop.  Every team with a national following--the Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, Packers, for instance, have 1 thing in common.

  Sure, it rubs you wrong to see someone who used to bash the Panthers now with a black, blue and silver Panther "Keep Pounding" T shirt, but that was how they dealt with losing.  Many of them are losers in other walks of life so don't expect them to align themselves with anything but winners if given the choice.  I mean, If I worked at McDonalds in Jacksonville and my wife was a 400 lb unemployed social worker, I don't think I would tie my heartstrings to the Jaguars right now.

Come one, come all.  Also it means we get more tv coverage and more nationally televised games, which means a lot to us that do not live in Charlotte.  It is  just more fun for us that have seen the bad years, and can appreciate where we are now a little more.

It happens every time the Panthers make a playoff push; Just like last February I saw several Ravens flags flying on peoples cars here in Rock Hill. I'm like......'really?....Ravens fans in South Carolina???'

Just embrace it and let'em hop on the wagon....it's a fun time  :)

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
