Still disrespected...

[Gipetto]

respect is earned not given

[Carolina Husker]

U motherfuggers are all retards! I'm not begging or asking for attention for the Panthers. You really should learn how to read sentences. Those sentences form paragraphs in which a general purpose or idea is conveyed. There is NO arguing or excuse to be left out of any conversation involving our division.

Razor you have thoroughly disappointed me tonight. I have specifically answered u 3 times and u still don't get it.

Maybe I'll just start posting in Spanish. More people will understand it that way.

You have to BE respectable to GET respect

You do not deserve respect for just being...you have to do something to EARN it

The Panthers have not

[Jangler]

There's a game tonight....and it's on the TV!

[OchoNueve]

There is another thread right now about how the Panther's have gotten more exposure in the last week than they have in the past 2 years combined. I don't know who to believe....

[Donald LaFell]

Not surprising, and I'm not crying about it...

I'm watching the Steelers and Eagles game. The announcers are Troy Aikman, Joe Buck, and Terry Bradshaw... The game is in garbage time in the 4th qtr. The question was asked about which teams would surprise some people this year. Troy Aikman picked St Louis, Terry picked the Lions, and Jow Buck picked the Bucs....

Then the conversation shifted to what a competitive division the NFC South is... They all mentioned The Saints, Falcons, and Bucs... NO FUGGIN mention of the Panthers whatsoever. Not even a respectable (the Panthers are re-building) type mention. Just as if we are not a part of the division whatsoever.

I get it... We were 2-14 last year. We have not one, not two, but three unproven/unreliable QB's... We re signed our own players...

But DAMN... They act like we aren't even in the Division. We as fans are NOT used to be treated like this. (maybe earlier, but not now, and certainly never this disrespected)

I hope that our players are taking notes. I know that Rivera will have our boys ready every week. I know that we will be a competitive football team. I know we do better flying under the radar. All of those commentators I love listening to. I was more than pissed off that we didn't even get mentioned.

To any players that may be lurking. Tell your boys that a little punch in the division foes' mouths is in order. The disrespect is getting out of hand. I mean we're getting treated worse than the Lions got treated when they barely won 2 games for like a decade...

It's time to get our swag back... That's the bottom line.

you are definitely crying about it

Like everyone here has said. When has this team earned any respect? This thread might have validity after we at least string together back to back winning seasons, but don't expect the level of respect you want until we've got a Lombardi.

This team has a long way to go to garner that respect but I feel we're headed in the right direction.

Do us a favor and don't post this same old poo for at least the next couple years.

[Punisher]

Rebuilding isn't competitive. I would really like it if people didnt cry about this.

[HoFBound90]

I get what everyone is saying, we don't really deserve respect but comeon at least mention us. Even if its the longest shot to win the SB or to save the world or something.

[MadHatter]

1. 2-14 team

2. Unproven QB's (likely starting rookie)

3. New Coach

4. Totally new scheme

5. FA moves were re-signing our young talent

6. Shortened off season

Why does it surprise you that we are not getting respect?

You earn respect, it is not just given. We have done nothing yet to earn it.

Win on the field and things will change.

This morning Micheal Smith was talking about how the NFCS has been the worst to first division...then went on to talk about Tampa Bay...

get used to it, until we win and win in the division they won't be talking about the Panthers. Cam yes... We might get a little buzz if we beat GB, but that won't last if we don't win the next week.

[bigdog10]

They probably respected us more by not mentioning the teams name after our performance last year. Best that everybody forget that catastrophe

[Chaos]

me: "HEY HONEY!!!11!!"

wife: "what?"

me: "Joe Buck just said Carolina Panthers on TV!! So did Terry Bradshaw, or maybe that was Troy Aikman, somebody said it though!!11!!1!"

wife: "So, are you going to cut the grass tomorrow or not?"

Normal people don't care/
