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  :)

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
