A thought about the Panthers fan base...

I was listening to sportstalk radio today, and all you heard about was Brett Favre and Michael Vick. It was stated that since the Vikings signed Favre, they sold thousands of season ticket packages and single game tickets. All home games were now expected to sell out. So...the Panthers games were all sold out in less than two weeks except maybe a preseason game, to my knowledge. Panthers' tickets are always hard to come by when they go on sell to the public, due to the amount of PSLs that are aleady sold. I thought that speaks volumes for our fan base when our tickets sell out much faster than a team like the Vikings who have been around for ever and have a strong fan base. Am I right or looking at this the wrong way? Just a thought...

we are also surrounded by fans of teams that we play. ones that wouldn't give up their original team the inaugural year of their home team. i really hope to see no philly fans on opening day, but I know it is inevitable. same goes for Atl and Was. So the day that tickets go on sale to the general public there are fans of several teams trying to buy.

When we have years long waiting lists for tickets, then we can consider our fan base one of the best. But yeah, we're currently a hotter product than what they offer in the Twin Cities.

Charlotte is an migrant city, half our population is from somewhere else. Which is why I think the seats get empty when we are losing and many people dont stay till the end.

It takes some time for fans to fully adpot the Panthers.

I have been in Carolina for 13 years now and this is the first season I am not getting DIRECT TV to follow the Bills.

I have followed the Panthers since Ive been here and its been easy to also route for the Panthers because they are in a different conference from the Bills.

I will always be a Bills fan, but they will finally be in the back seat to the Panthers from now on. (FIGURES THEY PLAY EACH OTHER THIS YEAR IN CHARLOTTE !!)

If the Panthers didn't sell PSLs,I wonder if the games would sell out?

Good question. I've always figured that the PSL's kept the season ticket base high because people would not want to give up their investment.

HOWEVER, the Vikes had to do everything they could think of to sell out their PLAYOFF game last year. That never happens here in Charlotte. That fan base up there has really taken a turn for the worst.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
