maybe a little break... but you know.. the greatest wins mean nothing without the worst losses... and maybe this game will encourage a bit of a house cleaning... Fox.. eh, I don't know... Jake was (is?) my favorite player... I just don't know... but I'm excited for the future of this team...

As one of the not-too-hardcore fans, I must concur that I'm probably done (except for a few post-season bitching threads here or there) until summer or later. I must say it's been a really fun ride, and having just discovered the board this season I must give props to all of y'all for making this Panthers season one of the most exciting I've ever experienced, despite the horrific ending. Thanks everyone & stay classy Charlotte.

just don't bandwagon off somewhere else... I wouldn't be surprised if 10-20% of the fans bandwagon off to other teams for a season... the fanbase was just starting to really get into this team... it is going to be a while, maybe a year or two, till we see the kind of excited fanbase... who knows... maybe they will be back in full force next year...

I know that post wasn't intended for me specifically, but I don't think many of our "seasonal" fans plan to bandwagon anywhere else, and I myself would never do so in a million years. I just think that you'll see a dramatic drop off of people posting during the off-season, and we won't hit the level of board activity we have had for these past several weeks unless we buck the odds and have a title-worthy team again next year.

I'm definitely excited for 2009, though, and I'll be back. I've been on board every year since '95, and a 12-4 season and Division title won't do anything to dampen that enthusiasm. I'm also betting that those that got their first taste of Panther football in 2008 will be back for more in 2009.

Came back to clarify.

I'm no bandwagon fan, but being a huge fan consumes a lot of your life. Kind of an odd way to put it, but I would be checking for Panther news everyday and visiting many sites, the games/tailgates/parties.

I guess I could have seen this coming cause after loses I would just turn off anything NFL related and just wait till next week. This is a different case, cause there is no next week.

Just give up a bit of your "NFL life." It will make you much healthier.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
