How close are you to checking out?

[Mr. Scot]

If Rhule is brought back, will that be enough for you to bail on the Panthers or would it take more?

If more, what?

[PhillyB]

i'm sure i'll watch but i won't stay glued if they're losing and i for damn sure won't spend money on games

I’m already very excited about the MLS season and watching Austin FC. We have season tickets and the team seems very well put together and has done a great job with fan engagement. We play Charlotte FC and it is with every fiber of my being that we beat the living tar out of David Tepper’s excuse for a soccer team. 

I haven’t lived in NC for over 11 years now. If/when Central Texas gets an NFL team, I’m out.

I'm there as of a couple of weeks ago. Haven't watched the last two games. Don't plan on watching anymore Rhule coached Panthers games.

If Howell find a nice landing spot I'm probably out for good. If he doesn't, then maybe I'll be inclined to tune in when the Panthers push the reset button again. I'm just not interested in watching Rhule and company shoot for another quick fix afterthought vet QB that no one else wanted which is exactly what's going to happen.

I'm just watching to see how historically bad an NFL team can be.

Something to bore the grand kids with later in life.

[Harbingers]

I’ll stick to the Canes as my must follow team. I’m not going to not turn on a game but I ain’t planning my Sunday’s around the panthers anymore.

All-time low engagement/excitement/interest. Love the players but damn... guess we'll see what happens.

I seriously doubt you're alone.

I fully expect "already there" to be a common answer.

I'll outlast the bastard.

As long as they don't move, I'll always be a Carolina Panthers fan. I'll still wear my gear and hope for the best.

But if Rhule is retained, I won't be following them as closely. No monitoring of training camp or anything like that. Certainly won't take my yearly pilgrimage to Wofford to see one practice of training camp. We normally go to one home game a year, but not next year. 

So still a fan but significantly less invested.

If Rhule is back I’m not buying a seat to a single game.  No merch.  Nothing. No money going into this nightmare. Same for soccer.  Only way fans can communicate.  

I’m totally cool with building and not winning while that happens.   There just isn’t an argument for that happening with Matt Rhule.   Wasted time.   I’m fine being a general NFL fan for awhile.  Fantasy sports, betting and all that already make that easy anyway.  I’ll follow Carolina as that is my team.  But from afar. 

[Wanderlai]

Sad state of affairs for Panthers fans. The team should have look their lumps these past two years by racking up losses. We would have a young QB and draft capital by now and looking for an upswing next year. But here we are rock mf’ing bottom with no place to go.

That’s how I feel. I just don’t understand, what has he done to show he’s worth keeping? 

[Cdparr7]

I’ll be here cause I always have been, I’ve never checked out on a season. 98, 01, 10, I survived and I’ll survive this one.

Now, will I look forward to Sunday’s in the fall? No. Will I make plans on the weekend around the game? No. Will I go to any? No.
