Take the Cam Newton pledge...

[Squirrel]

Wont do it didnt do it last year wont do it this year.

[King Taharqa]

True that! I don't see a "Jimmy pledge" or Edwards, Brown, so and so..

We suppose to support a huge mistake, whatever.

You're supposed to support the QB on your favorite football team if it is indeed your favorite football team. Not a question of like or dislike. I dont see how you can be a "fan" doing the opposite. This isnt about Jimmy, Edwards, or Brown or what they're entitled to or not entitled to. Its about supporting our future (Cameron) and getting behind the team. If winning is the top priority fans will support our new QB, Im confident in that. I also understand not every "fan" has a passion for winning.

[Mr ocho nueve]

This isn't a dictatorship. I'm not gonna pledge or bow down and praise any player until they show good things on the field with consistency, Cam included.

[Squirrel]

It isnt about supporting one player but the team. I hope Cam lights it up. But if he doesnt improve over the season I will say something about it.

But you support Clausen who's done absolutely nothing for our franchise and was one of the worst QBs in the league last year. If you can get behind that, surely you can get behind the #1 draft pick and the guy who's giving us all this national exposure right now. There's more optimism this season than last in Pantherland. People are giddy about this season and our future, dont know how a true Panther fan could NOT be excited about that.

Yeah. Fans just love to watch their team lose :sosp:

Giddy? About THIS SEASON???

False. He got the Panthers the #1 pick. You of all people should be thanking Jimmy

I'm just gonna keep it simple with you. I support Cam, and every single other player on our team, practice squad bound players and all. I'm not gonna pledge my allegiance with one single player, since the Panthers as an organization have always had my allegiance since I can remember.

I didn't do the "Clausen pledge" or any other pledge because it is dumb. And how can you not support Clausen? He is still a Panther.

[King Taharqa]

Yeah. Fans just love to watch their team lose :sosp:

Or maybe they could care less as long as they identify with "their team". Its not far fetched for a team that has 4 winning seasons in 16 years. Perhaps there are other things that attract people to this team outside of "winning" which we've never done CONSISTENTLY.

I support Clausen as our backup. Never booed the kid or spent months on this board tearing him down or trying to convince the world he was a mistake that will end our franchise. Never felt I had to. I can honestly say when he struggles, it doesnt make me feel good or vindicated in some way. I understand when he struggles, we all struggle, so there's no joy from me when he looks lost as our QB. At the same time, I'd like for us to give our new QB the same belief and optimism we gave Jimmy early last season.

Or maybe they're just true fans rather than bandwagon fans that throw themselves behind whomever happens to be winning at the time.

Geography is generally the number one factor in people's choice of a favorite team. Other factors play in too.

But regardless of why someone chooses a favorite team, pretty much no one is going to support the team making bad moves. They may, however, differ in opinion on which moves are good and which aren't.

I can't speak for other and won't, but I am optimistic about Cam's future. The current situation, based on his passing, not so much. It's just my opinion Clausen never got a fair shake at things, but it happens to players, and I'm not mad or even slightly irritated about it. Back to Cam, his running ability is exiting to watch, and even if he can't pass consistently I'll support him since he is basically our unofficial starter. You happy now?
