Yuck... I hate people that want to ride the wagon because the panthers are great....

didn't see you around for the 2-14 season or the 1-15 one... So f*ck off.

We shouldn't bash new fans.  Bashing new fans causes everyone to question any Panther fan.  If someone ever called me bandwagon, I'm going off on them.

I'll bash the poo out of anyone who is only now becoming a fan because the team is good....

f*cking hate bandwagoners we got a bunch when we drafted cam (the camwagon) and now that we are great the wagons filling up again with bullsh*t fans.

 

You're the type of guy that I was referring to.

btw yesterday i was hiking up to akaka falls in my RR cat fight t-shirt and some random ass lady was like "ooooh i like that shirt!"

it's obscure as hell so either she thought it was awesome that people commemorate cat fights on their t-shirts or the panthers have a really broad reach

This is very true, we have a great deal of "fans" here who are simply fans of one player...

True but what I meant was, when you joined the huddle isn't necessarily when you became a fan of the team.

I joined the huddle this past February I think and have been a fan since 2001.

Very true also...

I have followed them since the beginning but if I'm being honest it was around 2000 when I understood the game well enough to be a true fan...

I simply have no respect for the guys here who are cam fans or hopped on the wagon when we ate successful...  In my opinion they havnt earned the right to be called true fans.

The problem with that is no one can ever become a fan after you. And that logic doesn't work. 20 years from now, the hardcore fans we get this year will be in a similar position as you are now. 

The basic premise is simply enjoying the team on your own terms. Others have pointed out that newer fans won't experience the same joy we will this year. That's their penance for coming on board so late. Or our bonus for being on board through the lean times.

This is very true.... This season has been weird for me as a panthers fan... We win so much that it's almost expected it almost cheapens the feeling of winning.

This has been the most magical season I have ever had as an NFL fan. I grew up in NY as a Giants fan but was too young to really appreciate the SB wins in 86 and 91. Then Army and stationing in Europe in the 90s basically guarantees no exposure to what's happening in the world. Then our history and the crushing 2003 season. And years of maybe this year or WTF? Years. I wanted to draft Pickles. Ugh.

And now this. Everyone I know knows I'm a fan but it feels weird to be on top of it all...all season. The season is magical and I don't see it letting up any time soon. We, as fans, need to get used to being strong because there's no reason to think it won't continue for 10 years maybe.

This has been a fantastic season mostly because it is so unexpected. And if we keep winning the road comes through Charlotte.  As a PSL owner this is a dream come.true, to watch my Panthers win a conference championship at home. I didn't go to Superbowl 38 but vowed if we ever returned I will be there. 2 games at home and the big one. After sitting through the debacles in 2008 and 2013 I am ready to kick some playoff ass . Bring on Seattle and then Arizona. Then the Patriots. Let's take all the comers. If you want to be the man you have to beat the man. All of them.

This is totally true. It really gets to me when some people talks poo because of when someone joined, I have been a fan since 1996 and didn't join until 2010 mainly because I had no idea the huddle existed.

The worst thing is to be called bandwagon fan.....when you are not

Or when you get asked specific stats and you aren't that kind of fan. I mean I know the history of our team, but can't recall every single stat of every single player.

Telltale signs of a bandwagon fan? Jake, Smitty, or Peppers jerseys.

None. I don't buy jerseys. That's my thing. I don't hate on those that do. But I don't own any. And don't want to. I can go on into the psychological reasons why but it's boring. But if I ever had one...it'd be Dan Morgan. Favorite Panther ever. 25 tackles in the SB. Sigh.

    • I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do
    • No one had posted in a month.  I don't think any of us were watching
    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
