  1. 1. How will you celebrate?

    • With a humble spirit (Grateful for the championship and party among friends) - Bryce viewpoint

    • With a boastful spirit (Bragging rights obtained, you let everyone in your grandmama know who the best team is) - Cam viewpoint

Before I get started with this topic, neither viewpoint should be seen in a negative light.  This is sports.  For player and fan alike, we celebrate our teams the way we celebrate.  Ain't nothing wrong with that!


I often think about the things players are saying about Bryce Young, and they all point out how his attitude is one of meekness, while still carrying an air of confidence.  Many of us have been Panthers fans for a long time, and more are coming aboard.  I often imagine what would be my reaction to a Superbowl victory?  Now, when I talk to fans from other teams, I always brag about my cats before the season, saying we will go 19-0 (prior to the extra game in the season) and 20-0 every year.  Yet personally during the season, if we got a big win against a team on any given Sunday, I don't cheese it up and brag about it much.  Perhaps one of the reasons for why is I know the Panthers could stink the joint up the next Sunday.  Then I would have to go in front of friends and explain myself over something I have no real impact on. LOL! (Of course fans in the stands have impact to a degree)  This was even true in years where we did well.  So all that in mind, I again wonder how I would react around everyone, friends, family, coworkers, and folks of opposing teams should our team take it all the way.  How would y'all react?


Again I think about Bryce Young.  No doubt for him to lead a team to a Superbowl as a rookie would be awesome!  It would also be historical, and would speak for itself on greatness.  Yet I imagine if all that came to pass, our guy would still wear the respectful hat.  Then I think about Cam.  Now please don't get me wrong, I am not speaking evil of Cam or criticizing him in any way.  Don't take it this way.  I'm just thinking on comparisons here.  That said, Cam let you know who the best was.  Particularly when he was dominating, and even as a rookie he was dominating at the QB position in ways not seen before and yet to be seen since.  He said himself he was a sore loser.  So he had a lot of pride in his abilities and his team.  It is a stark contrast from the early indications of how Bryce will be.  We are just like this as fans.  For me, when we win big, I don't play it up too much. (Though inside I'm ecstatic and jumping around)  For the next Panthers fan, they might throw it up and letting everyone know what time it is.  Both are valid expressions.  So here again and again and again, how will you respond to a Superbowl victory this year?  Or have you thought about how you would react?

Not even sure if Cam aka Superman can lift the Panthers to the SB let alone winning it as a rookie, let alone Bryce. Just too much competition for this young team with a new coach. Realistically, it will take a few years to be real contenders as long as we can make progress and improvements game after game. Our goal should be to win games that we are supposed to win and have a winning record unlike last year 7-10 record. It is attainable.

Before some of you continue attacking the OP, how many saw 2015 coming?

I am sure people were touting us, I don’t even need to look. It happens almost every year. And Cam had actually proven something so it had some validity. 
This year? That is a ton of ‘if’ and ‘maybe’ being substituted for ‘is’.

I mean it was pretty obvious by week 8 we might have the best team in the NFL.

 

Cam was the best player in the league that year. That was easily the best season in Panthers history. Cam dabbing and players getting mad they couldn't stop him from scoring. We were also the talk of the NFL never seen so many Panthers discussion on ESPN.

 

Fun times.
