On the topic of standing up during games....

which time and winning will fix.

 

this cannot be overstated. winning is the biggest thing. bandwagon/fairweather fans are made into real fans by the team winning. I know so many people that pull for Carolina as their "second favorite" team, even when they've lived in the Carolinas most of their lives. I know many more that only care about Carolina football when the team is doing well. When Carolina finally reaches perennial contender status (in the eyes of fanbases across the league, and thus the media) instead of perennial underdog status, the bandwagon/fairweather fans will begin to emotionally invest in the team. Once that process starts, it cannot be reversed except through years and years of losing seasons, which i dont think will happen again to this organization. Once real fans start to be made, the people in the stadium wont have any choice but to begin standing up/cheering at the appropriate times. we will also have less problems with hoards of fans of visiting teams invading our stadium...

 

in short: the quickest way for the Panthers to solve the problems with their fanbase is to give them something to cheer for year in and year out.

 

my grandmother said it best: "The NFL is a late-comer to the Carolinas. All we know is college ball." The Panthers have to start winning year in and year out for the people of the Carolina's to feel enough pride in them to become more emotionally invested.

One thing I was laughing about was how loud the steelers fans were when the steelers were on offense. I think they were trying to shout down the Panthers fans. They are absolutely clueless.

I told one of them thanks for helping us out on defense. I swear he looked at me with his mouth hanging open. Moron.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
