Panther Fans


SCP

Recommended Posts

As the resident grouch when it comes to the weakness of Panther fans at Bank of 'Merica stadium, I want to give props to the growth I saw this year. Yes there are still too many opposing jerseys (and yesterday I saw people decked out in Steeler, Cowboy, and Eagle gear. Seriously why the fug even come to our game you fuging losers) in our house but damn if we aren't getting better. Next year will be a true test to see if we can keep our home field mojo going. Yesterday was loud even though the 9er fans were in full force. Next year we have the Steelers, Hawks and Bears coming to town. These teams will test our resolve as a fanbase and I can only hope that people don't sell out the home team. I heard the biggest compliment when I was at a party Saturday night when a Jets fan that attended our game this year said "Panther fans are assholes, they were all over us." My response was "Getcha some." Keep up the good work and spend the summer months getting people ready for 2014.

whole lot of growth, even in the receiving corps. we had 4 receivers with 5+ TDs and over 550 yards. not too bad at all.

 

could you imagine what it would have been like if we had a higher octane offense with better playcalling?

 

we still need that new explosive WR to be brought in that demands double teams and a lot of help on the OL, but it was good to see the ball spread around so much. cam got a lot more efficient, but we lacked those big plays we used to be so good at. we have to find that balance.

 

on defense and special team...i think that's the best that i've seen maybe ever from those two. i think that we have enough from those two that we could stand to focus mainly on building up the OL and WR corps and maybe adding another TE threat.

 

we have a lot of one year contract guys who will probably be forced to take another one year deal or very small multi-year deals because of a flooded FA market and potentially deep draft so we could go into next year with pretty much the same defense and special teams we finished with and i don't think that would be a bad thing at all. have them all come back angry and disrespected.

sorry...my brain wondered.

 

was thinking about reasons for the fans to still be excited next year. lot of growth happened in the fanbase and in the stands and i'm worried about the dissappointment and how resilient the fanbase will be.

 

hopefully they understand the direction we are going and are just as pissed and ready to come back next year as the team is.

no one sat down yesterday. no one.

 

winning breeds these sorts of things.

 

No they didn't! Me and Philly had a time trying to get a few fans to actually shut up on offense. At one point the lady behind us actually argued that the players wanted us to be loud when they are in the red zone.... RIGHT AFTER they were signaling for us to get quiet from the huddle. We still have some teaching to do, but on D the place was rocking! :rock:

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
