Could anything make you quit the team?

Any of theses guys on our sideline would send me in search of other ways to spend Sundays - Sean Payton, Tom Brady, Deshaun Watson, or Aaron Rogers.

Moving the team

If it was ever proven that the team willingly lost games or even just didnt try to win them.

If the team left the state it would be dead in my eyes.

I love the team but there are players, coaches and owners I won't do anything but cheer against regardless if they are employed here. Watson was one for me. Payton is another. Tepper has been not good but he hasn't hit Jerry Jones level yet. 

Guys like Wilks or Caldwell would probably cool me off and check me out for a while, no interest in watching much more known mediocrity. Not dead, just disengaged to protect my mental health.

For serious? What team would you have followed? Or, would you had taken a break from the NFL?

Other than for fantasy football, I would have been done with NFL. I'm getting close to being there anyway. It's basically the WWE with the way refs are allowed to steer the outcomes of games now anyway. Unless the NFL takes action to fix some of this stuff, I'll probably be done in 5 years or so. At that point, just hire Vince McMahon and get it over with.

If they move out of NC

This for me too. Except if it’s just over the border in SC. Don’t see that happening though. 
 

I do wish they were closer to eastern NC. It would make watching them a lot easier, but if they remain in NC, they’ll always be my team.

i do not think there is anything the team could do that would make me not be a fan. but not pulling for the panthers, I would then have to choose another team, which i could never see myself doing and be AS invested as I am in this team. 

i DID NOT want Watson and I wouldn't have been happy, but I do not think I would suddenly become a Chargers fan.

I've had one foot out the door for a while now. The only NFL football I've watched the last 2-3 years has been what little of Panthers' games I've watched and I didn't watch a whole game all season. As others have said, relocating or sticking with Rhule. Depending on who ends up the new coach and QB could be the end of my fandom too. I can get my football fix watching college games where I have zero interest in any of the teams outside of wanting to be entertained.

Me moving or team moving.

If I retire in AZ, I'm probably not getting whatever service NFL ticket is on and would probably just follow the Cardinals or just watch whatever AFC game is on and read about the Panthers.  

If the team moved away, I might still read about them for a bit, but just watch whatever games the network decides to give me. 

I have adopted new NFL and NCAA teams since I moved away from PA 25yrs ago.  It's not that hard.

I might be tempted to do it, but only if there was a new franchise in its place. I wouldn't, like, go back to rooting for Washington for example (or in my case, the Steelers). I might not even switch if the new franchise was the Charlotte Cheetahs as opposed to the Carolina Cheetahs for example. I take pride---I don't know why---in my birthplace and how it's represented. But I'm more a Triangle guy than a Charlotte guy. My peeps hail from Raleigh mostly, but I do have ties with extended family in South Carolina (including the Rock Hill area ironically).

Interesting. I don’t have a preference between “Charlotte” or “Carolina”, and I’m from pretty far from Charlotte: Sampson County. I had never even been to a game before 2010 when I was home on leave and able to finally make the trip to Charlotte. When I lived in NC up to 01 I was too young and/or broke to make the trip.  
 

Before the Panthers I was a Cowboys fan, since there was no regional option. Even if there had been a South Carolina team I doubt I would have chosen them. SC is no different from Virginia, just a neighbor.

Moving was the nail in the coffin for the hornets for me. I was as diehard about them as I am the panthers but once I knew they were headed to N.O I checked out completely.

Moving would likely jump on the Giants bandwagon with my wife.

All that being said I’ve already taken a step back in my fandom, as I sold my PSL’s midway through the 2016 season.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
