Keep pounding has been around long enough and through enough that it is now part of the tradition of this team, whether they live up to it or not. 

I'm a St. Louis Blues fan, and midway through their Stanley Cup season they adopted the song "Gloria" as their mantra.  There is a story behind it that coincided with their climb from last in the league in early January to the playoffs and the championship.  That was a one-season thing, but the fans had a similar debate after the season.  Yes, it was their mantra to their first championship, but it was not a tradition.  Five months does not make a tradition.

Keep pounding is a tradition.

A fan telling another fan what to do let alone stop being a fan is the weakest poo of them all fella

 

and for the record. Unless you just live under a rock. It’s been pretty hard being a fan of this team. Heck, I don’t even watch full games anymore because it’s unwatchable at times. At least the Canes are good and they actually care about their fan base. Complete opposite of what Tepper has shown. 

I get your disgruntled about the team, but this isn't high school football where you don't get a sticker on your helmet until you do something good.  

Sam started "Keep Pounding" to remind everyone that no matter how bleak things are you gotta "Keep Pounding".  If anything, this is exactly why we should keep it.  We are struggling to be relevant again.

THE PANTHERS NEED TO "KEEP POUNDING"

it has emotional resonance and is tied to team history, which is cool, but objectively i see why someone without prior attachment to it would want it gone. "keep pounding" sounds anthemic of always losing but trying really hard not to. it implies failure as the starting point and winning as the variable.

it really just is not that great.

What I find hilarious as when someone makes a thread and actually wants to have a conversation you get people posting “this thread is stupid” or the poster is stupid take it down. Yet they take time to post vs actually having a conversation. That shows your IQ. Thank you for the folks that actually wanted to have a legit conversation.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
