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  :)

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Where this conversation goes south continuously and becomes bitter and contentious is when the discussion involves his "improvement". It is not hyperbole to say we started out the first two games of the season with some of the worst QB play in franchise history. We're talking amongst Jimmy Clausen. So when someone comes in and says Bryce played at such a high level in the last stretch of games he even surpassed Cam Newton as a sophomore there's not going to be any logical conversation to be had at that juncture. We can talk in a reality based context or we can talk in an echo chamber context. Only one is going to foster productive dialogue. Anyways what's done is done. We need to focus on the now. Now Bryce has an offensive line we've invested a ton of salary cap space in. He has a formidable backfield. He has a significantly improved WR room including 2 first round picks the last 2 years one being an 8th overall pick. He has one of the better TE rooms we've had in years with actual young promising talent instead of jags like Ian Thomas taking up salary cap space. He has a young up and coming offensive head coach. Honestly this is probably the best situation any QB has had entering the season since Delhomme in 2003. The foundation is there for any QB worth his salt to showcase high end franchise QB ability going forward.

      Like they were comfortable with their pass rushers last offseason?

      We have 2 startable cbs, good defenses have atleast 4 startable corners. We are in a pass happy era, base defenses have three corners on the field and dime packages with 4 corners are becoming incredibly common. We have zero depth at corner, if Jaycee or Jackson miss any time we will be torched in the air. Also Mike Jackson is an outside corner only, he is a big zone corner with below average change of direction and agility he would be a bad fit at nickle.
