Want Gettleman out?

I've never understood the people who say "this is why we are the laughingstock of the NFL". Where does this even come from?

75% of genuine Football fans stereotype us as fair weather, ignorant fans. Petitioning to fire a GM after a 12-4 season only strengthens their case

[AceBoogie]

Our fans are the laughing stock of the NFL because we blindly follow a organization that has never had back to back winning seasons. And with a straight face, we defend them even when everyone else out the planet sees it for what it is.

Not because some kid made a petition. Just about every team in the NFL has some petition about wanting somebody fired. Go to other forums, they bitch and complain just as much as the huddle. Remember the falcons wanted their coach fired last year. That's just fans.

They laugh, because we walk around with our chest poked out like we've won something, it took a winning streak to make this team relevant last year and even then we still weren't respected. Why? Because we aren't consistent winners. But this fan base thinks we are the 9ers, we ain't the 9ers and honestly we are closer to the Browns.

They laugh because they see a playoff team with a young, once in a life time QB, and we want him to throw to Jerricho Cotchery. That's why they laugh, they pity us and if you weren't a Panther's fan you would too.

If we only had Matt Millen.

Seriously, this is the exact same with every fan base.  There will always be people who hate the GM/Coach(es)/QB and people who defend them.  People will always have knee-jerk reactions and make mountains out of molehills.  It's just part of sports fandom.  But in no way is the Panthers fanbase a "laughing stock".  I seriously doubt OP could find one instance of anyone other than a Panthers fan complaining about our fanbase.

They laugh at the contracts we gave Delhomme after a playoff meltdown, they laugh at the contracts we gave our oft injured RBs, they laugh at giving #1 WR money to a 35yr old #2 WR, they laughed at our drafts that included trading for Edwards and thinking Brown could replace Peppers. They laughed at Pep just walking away. And we defended it the whole time

Panthers fans are not made fun of for being cocky. I can guarantee you that. We're made fun of because we're bad fans. Because we allow EVERY team to walk into BoA and control our stadium. Because we aren't intelligent football fans. Because we aren't able to see the big picture. Because we all keep saying "Cam Newton is going to have to throw the ball to himself next year".  And definitely because we don't understand a formula to get to "sustained success".

There is legit reason for why Marty Hurney is not an NFL GM today, nobody wants to be as embarrassed as we were for all those years

[Gin and Juice]

I remember the calls and text I got the day Dwills contract was announced and then JStews! You know how I defended it?

With, "Football is a business that extends beyond the field and with the charity work Double Trouble did, they were making younger fans which would earn the franchise more money blah blah blah."

It was pathetic but it was the only leg I had to stand on! Hopefully I don't have to dream up any lame defenses anymore

I would sign it but I don't know how to read.

No fan base sees the big picture, that's just fans. And as fans we don't have to agree with everything the team does. And if you spent sometime on other forums last year, yes I saw a lot of the "they're cocky for no reason" statements

This right here. This is why were the laughingstock of the league. Not this petition or w/e it is Madhatter said. Other teams, especially big market teams, prob deal with this petition crap yearly
