I feel sorry for third down man. He still doesnt get it that most of the crowd doesnt even know what 3rd down means.

Code of Conduct

DO show up for the game! You can't do much in your living room!

DON'T wait for someone else to get up first to get the fan defense into the game. Take the initiative!

DO get up on every down during the Panther's defense, not just on 3rd Down.

DON'T cuss out the Panthers if they fail to stop the opposing offense, or even lose the game at that. They're OUR team for Pete's sake!

DO let anyone around you that complains you're making too much noise that this is a football game, not their living room!

DON'T cuss or use harsh profanity while being a Third Down Man! Children may be around, and you've got to have class.

DO have patience with fans sitting around you. At first they may not want to participate with you on 3rd Down, but don't give up. They'll come around, especially if the team's winning.

DON'T leave for concessions or the bathroom during the Panther's defense - you might miss that awesome defensive play that you could have taken credit for! Yep, that's right! Third Down Man takes all the credit for a defensive stop!

DO bang on your seat to make as much noise as possible. If the seat next to you is empty, then bang both of them!

DON'T get into fights or shouting matches with opposing team's fans - keep it light or ignore them. You will probably bear the brunt of their ribbing or jeering, but you'll be taking it for the team and all the Panther fans around you. How you hold yourself during the tough times will show what a leader you are.

And chances are they will get thrown out in no time. Under no circumstances should you be ejected from the stands during the game - we need every Third Down Man out there to the end!

DO respect the stadium's security guards. If they feel that you are being too rowdy, then take your enthusiasm down a couple of notches. You don't want to get thrown out!

DON'T start whining if we start losing or getting behind in the score. Third Down Man is not a whiner. Stay positive or hold your tongue. No one around you wants to hear negative comments - it's just a game!

DO buy a t-shirt! That way you can be easily identified as a Third Down Man!

DON'T leave the game in the 3rd Quarter! That is the worse thing a Third Down Man can do, since there are going to be plenty more 3rd Down's left in the game. Even if there's no chance of winning, you can always practice for the next game.

    • I'm absolutely amazed at how many people actually think this was a great move. Like did y'all just become Panthers fans yesterday? When has re-signing a RB to a big money contract ever worked out for this franchise? DeAngelo Williams? Jonathan Stewart? Christian McCaffrey? All of those re-signings were mistakes. Giving a RB big money has a terrible track record of ROI, period. It's a draft 'em and let 'em walk position. A big part of the Panthers' roster management issues over the years and a big part of why we have historically been inconsistent before finding our consistency as perennial cellar dwellers under Tepper is because we have always fundamentally struggled to understand positional value. We have always tied up far too many premium resources be it cap space or draft picks in non-premium positions. We currently have a ton of money tied up in RBs and interior OL. The doom cycle just keeps repeating.
    • To demand more money you have to have suitors. What other franchise is overpaying for RBs?   Henry/Barkley were both free and had limited suitors. The position isn't that valuable in the grand scheme of things.    
    • 1) Still young at 25. Good contract for the production, especially at only 15 million guaranteed. 2) Investing in a core offensive identity. An elite running back corps is a force multiplier with our upgraded interior line.  3) Acknowledging performance and retaining developed talent sets an important precedent for a young, rebuilding team. 4) This “devaluation” of running backs perspective seems to be waning. Setting aside the Chiefs and their hall of fame coach/QB/TE combo, the tops teams have all invested in RBs, many of which were free agents. Lions with a contract to Montgomery and first round Ghibbs. Ravens sign Henry. Eagles sign Barkley. Vikings sign Jones. Packers sign Jacobs. Commanders sign Ekeler. Texans sign Mixon. Bills have their second rounder Cook who filled in after 3rd rounder Moss was underwhelming (who the Bengals then signed this offseason but is hurt). The niners moved for CMC. Steelers Harris was a first rounder. Falcons have Bijan playing well.
