Fan Interest

[HardcoreHokie]

This franchise needs to take a serious look in the mirror and understand that the fans are losing interest by the day.

Losing sucks but if we refuse to even COMPETE, we’re going into uncharted waters. At least play your starters for a minute in preseason, everyone else is.

this is the first preseason in a LONG time were I have not kept up with training camp/preseason. normally, I am hyped for the upcoming season and seeing new rookies, FA pickups, and further development of current players. but we all know, this will the same Tepper shitshow upcoming

This could be the season that makes me stop caring about the NFL.

If it weren't for fantasy football, I wouldn't even pay attention. Tepper has absolutely killed everything about this team. Those "keep pounding" days are over. If we have another abysmal season, Tepper might as well just move the team somewhere else.

[Jon Snow]

I'm still here.

Keep Pounding!

[Waldo]

It's not really about football entertainment anymore for me but just watching a complete trainwreck. In that way they are doing fantastic.

Keep pounded

Same for me. I’m an interested bystander at this point. Both Panthers and NFL.

I’m still here and pounding.  Think it makes it easier being in Alabama. Not many care as much since it’s SEC football kingdom.  There isn’t as much hate or trash talking about my team sucking because over half the football fans down here don’t care.

I just completed a 10 man league FF and not 1 person drafted Bryce Young. Very sad. I did get an A+ from Yahoo on my draft. I chose with my last pick Sanders TE Carolina. My main TE was Kelce. 

 

Mahomes,  CMAC, Higgins,  Bears, Dell, Flowers, Pollard, Hackett, Diggs, Achane,  T Lawrence 

R. White....I destroyed. 

 

So yes FF will keep my NFL Sundays busy, bad Panthers or not.

I love the game and will always watch. My die hard level panthers interest is not what it was but I don’t love the game any less

Getting CMC, Mahomes, and Achane is insane. Guessing you had 1st pick?

Yep. I was very lucky.

This is the first year in 15 years that I haven’t watched one minute of preseason. I’m still going to watch every snap during the season (begrudgingly) 

I’d be lying if I said my interest hadn’t waned a little bit.

The Super Bowl loss/2106 season/the loss of Cam/Luke/Olsen/revolving door of coaches and QBs…It can tear the ass out of your fandom after awhile.

That is a lot like the way I feel. Except I’d say it is more fore me that I still love football but am not happy that the NFL is the gatekeeper, and is taking the sport farther away from what I grew up watching and what pulled me in and kept me in. 

Their greed has been out of control with the NFL and money seems to be their only compass. It is harder and harder to love.
