Other NFL Fans are Still Dismissing the Panthers Offseason Moves?

[LordOfDaWingz]

We’re always underestimated as a franchise. 
 

no one thought we’d make the playoffs in ‘96, our second season nor beat the cowboys 

 

they didn’t believe we’d beat St. Louis or Philly in ‘03

 

they didn’t believe we’d beat Arizona in ‘15 NFC championship game 

[Varking]

We’ve never had back to back winning seasons in our history. We haven’t earned the right to be a trusted franchise in other teams eyes lol

The Panthers didn’t even exist yet when the Bears accomplished all of those things.

Since 95 The Panthers have appeared in 2 Superbowls compared to the bears 1 and have won their division 6 times to the bears 5.

Also since 95 the Panthers have 9 playoff wins to the Bears 3. 
 

The Panthers have clearly been the better team since their inception.

That’s honestly not that great or big of a difference. People get mad but the Jets and Jaguars and Bears are in our tier. Hell the jets are almost exact in W/L since inception and are one championship game away. Same with Jags. In fact, there is no other team in the entire league more similar - let that sink in. 

Yet people still mock those teams, clearly our fans can’t see their homer delusions.  Ironically, those are the reasons these people also hate Cowboys fans.

We aren’t the Lions, Dolphins, or Browns yes thank god. But we aren’t much more than that either.

I've been on the huddle since 2010 iirc. I've only had 2 avatars. I had one of an anime character for several years, I got excited about CMC in 2017 off-season and changed it that once 

EDIT changed it to a CJ Stroud in in black panthers uni

sorry bud, you going have to find a new one after draft

[Cary Kollins]

fwiw I have seen some national media recognize this team could turn it around rather quickly  

from Nfl.com recent power rankings, which place the Panthers at 18

”After years of being left standing in the game of quarterback musical chairs, the Panthers finally took matters into their own hands. Carolina sent multiple draft picks and star wide receiver D.J. Moore to the Bears in exchange for the top pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. While team brass decides on the next QB1, GM Scott Fitterer has stayed busy building up the roster for new head coach Frank Reich. Wide receiver Adam Thielen, running back Miles Sanders and tight end Hayden Hurst were added to the offense in free agency, with Andy Daltonimported to presumably back up the eventual No. 1 overall pick. Hit on the QB, and this team could get very good, very quickly.”

Thank you. Bears have nor been relevant since the rap video with Jim McMahon. Just saying. For a young franchise we did good till we didn't.  Thanks Rhule and the latter years of Ron running two yes two Superstars into the ground to be middle of road average. Bears are trash. Monsters of the Midway is but a distant memory. That said they trending up. But so are we.  Thanks bears for that top pick.

If you stank then you still probably stink. No matter how stellar your offseason was the odds are that a stinky team with all new staff and a rookie QB is still gonna stink(at least the first year). 

It’s just conventional logic.

If the pick is Young then people will really want him to fail to prove themselves right that a small QB can’t cut it. 

If the bears look strong early in 2023 then the media will be salivating for them to have a shot at Marvin Harrison Jr with a high 1st. 

Overall the Panthers failing will be a much more exciting national story than success unless the team storms out of the gate. Then by mid season we’ll be the dark horse SB pick clickbait that pisses everyone off.

It's weird ya'll folks can't handle the simple concept of let this team prove something. There are no offseason champions. We all want to be in the playoffs competing but nobody on the Panthers is getting a free lunch off offseason hype.
