The Panthers do need a bigger fanbase

So we should accept someone who ditched their franchise so they can come to be even more wishy-washy than some of our "wine and cheesers" already are.

STOP TRYING TO FEED YOUR CHILDREN ZOD!!!

Most of us cheered for another team before we were awarded the franchise. We picked up quite a few rabid fans during the Superbowl run, it's be nice to pick up even more.

I got swept up during the 05 season, but then that was the first time I'd been in the US. UK NFL fanbases are basically a function of Superbowl wins and how much the city is a tourist destination. I saw a total of 5 Panthers jerseys in my two NFL games in London, 2 of them were NC girls studying over here.

The only way the Panthers will get a game over here is if they win at least one Superbowl.

could start by selling playoff tickets outside of the state!!!!

Or regular season ones, too. They did before the Super Bowl year.

I have been a fan since I heard the team was awarded to the Carolinas in 1993. I attended my first game in 1997. We saw the 49ers on MNF. Been to a game or two almost every year since.

The ticket restriction really slaps me in the face.

That would definitely be some dedication, but really, Charlotte's rather close to several state borders, so a lot of fans may be relatively close but still can't get a ticket. They need to do away with that.

The Saints played over there already!London would be a good Panther away game/opponent home game!;)

Hi, I'm a Panthers fan from Denmark.

I became a Panthers fan in 2006 and the first game I saw we lost 20-6 to the Falcons. They rarely show and games with Panthers in TV, it is always the Cowboys, Giants or Patriots but if the Panthers makes it to the Superbowl again and keep playing good offensive football hopefully it will get better.

The good about the Panthers games is that most of them is played at 1 p.m. (7 p.m. danish time) but the game against Tamba was totally worth sitting up from 2.15 a.m. to 5.30 a.m. to see. although the next day in school was pretty hard.

Here is a top 10 list over the most populare and unpopulare teams in Denmark:

The populares:

1: Giants

2: Colts

3: Patriots

4: Cowboys

5: Packers

6: Steelers

7: Chargers

8: Saints

9: Jaguars

10: Vikings

The unpopulares:

1: Patriots

2: Raiders

3: Colts

4: Giants

5: Lions

6: Cowboys

7: Steelers

8: Packers

9: Bengals

10: Chiefs

Hmm. Most of those teams are listed in both, so I'm guessing they're equally loved/loathed by fans of the other teams? :)

Denmark is a lovely country, I've flown over it several times but never had the pleasure of landing.

A Super Bowl win would make the fanbase grow by atleast 50%, the media would pay more attention, and so would the general public. Everybody loves a winner, I heard today from a Cowboys fan that if Jerry Jones don't turn his franchise around nobodys wants to see a losing team, new stadium or not.

      Not Necessarily Panthers Related but....

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      You might want to look at that table again.  Round 2 has the least QB's taken in that time period. What is more interesting is how the "darts at a dart board" happens in the 6th and 7th round. Those are the 2nd and 3rd most frequently drafted rounds for NFL QB's.  If you are strictly using my criteria for "success" it does lend credence to that not being an awful strategy. At 17-21% chance to get a bare minimum of 30+ starts OR a 5+ year career. That's pretty good for a very throwaway pick. I don't know how that would compare to other positions. I would maybe have to adapt what I have done to something like PFR's Career AV to set a line that accomplished roughly the same result as I have from the spreadsheet. If I can get to a number value, applying this to each position wouldn't be that hard. Not sure how "fair" that is without making some adjustment based on averages for each position. I would have to do that as well, I think. A positional "handicap" of sorts.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      While I agree he should have the opportunity to select his own qb, following that does he then get the standard 3 years? New regimes mean new qbs. No coach should tie his future to someone they didn't actually pick. For whatever reason, Canales has done just that. Whether it is being strong armed by Tepper, or overwhelming hubris that he could be successful with Young, it sure seems he has now made his bed.

      One of the benefits of doing a few stints as a coordinator is working under different head coaches and observing how they do things.  Canales has worked under Pete Caroll and then he was an OC for 1 season. Honestly I think he needs more time in the oven and he might be good at his next HC gig.  I'm not sure he's ready for this job and I don't know that he will ever be. But hey I hope I'm wrong.
