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  :)

      I’m actually fine with our TE group. I would like to see us upgrade at ILB, maybe safety and CB.   I think we are good at WR. I thought Corley could have been a good player but I guess he wasn’t doing good at all.   I came across this article about Corley from today. I know sometimes a change of scenery can really help turn around a player and we’ve seen plenty of players from the jets end up being good other places. I just don’t know if Corley is that guy.   https://www.newsweek.com/sports/nfl/jets-insider-shares-embarrassing-fact-about-malachi-corleys-release-2119816

      Renfrow released

      I was really rooting for him after seeing that video about his struggles. I always thought he was a solid and underrated player.   I thought for sure he would have made the team after hearing all the hype and how he made that overthrown catch by Plummer behind the line and still was able to gain a yard or two off it. Plummer really overthrew him each time yet he was able to still not lose yards. I think he still could play in the nfl. I think he may need a few months to get into top form though. Hopefully he will get signed to another team.
