I've been on this forum for a few years. I've seen the lows. I know it's in our nature to doubt and to be discouraged by signs the team might struggle. But I've had about enough.

 

I've been a fan since my parents took me to the first home game EVER down in Clemson, SC. I've watched as the team went 1-15. I was there for the Cards Playoff melt down, in my Delhomme jersey and stayed until the last seconds ticked away. I paid for tickets to see the historically awful 2010 Panthers. I was there for the 2011 Titans blowout. I have braved the Spartanburg heat a number of years to catch a glimpse of our future. I have been through some of the toughest times in Carolina fans history, and yet I still have HOPE!

 

I can't understand how some of you can call yourselves "fans" and yet throw away the season because of a preseason game or a soaring pass from Newton that misses the target. Or how many can say if we don't win week 1, it's over. I hold out Hope until we are mathematically out of it. But then I turn my Hope towards the future. 

 

Yeah, we are due for a playoff run. And yes there have been some mistakes made, but wants the point of being a fan if you give up on the team before they even play a snap that matters. Some people may call me a "Homer" or say I'm not being realistic... Well, that's what being a fan is about. I may get upset if we lose a big game or get screwed out of a win, but I don't give up on MY TEAM. We may suck this season... That's a possibility. But I will hold on to my hope.

 

I've personally seen you guys come together in a fashion that is unheard of from any fan base (Greatest Uni Contest). Why can't we all be this devoted to the team year around?

 

Do I think we will beat the Ravens tis week? Yes.

Do I think we will win Week 1? HELL YES!

Do I think we will be SB Champs this season? Why the hell not?!?!

 

Could I be wrong? Possibly.

 

But it doesn't matter because EVERY SINGLE DAY I know in my heart I have Hope in this team. EVERY MINUTE I know.... I BELONG TO PANTHER NATION!

 

So this is my message. This is MY battle cry. Join me! Don't let the temptation to expect less than perfection creep in!

 

BE A PART OF PANTHER NATION AND NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!!!

 

or GTFO!

TL;DR

Kidding, but I've learned to just ignore the idiots. This forum is a metaphor for life, a sample size if you will. 90% of the posters are total morons and sheeple, constantly preaching that the sky is falling everytime they hear a talking head on espn. No amount of logic or reasoning can change them.

The other ten percent make it worthwhile to stick around, sit back and enjoy the show.

      That and so many top tier WRs have had major injuries.

      uh..... no. I'm sure people will take this as me just pushing to draft T-Mac still, but it's not, we BADLY need a true outside #1 WR, whether it's my guy or someone else, it's a HUGE need, especially since we're not going to have an elite QB next year, we need to get the pass catching options to improve our QB play, no matter who that ends up being. I love the potential of XL and even Coker, but if you would take your Panthers fandom goggles off for a moment and look at it objectively, our two leading returning WRs for next season hav 284 and 263 yards through 10 games.   I don't care how good or bad the QB play is, that's a bottom 5 WR room in the NFL, if even that high.  Off the top of my head, the Browns, Patriots, and Raiders are the only teams with a worse WR situation going into next year as of right now (there could be others, but I haven't actually thought about it). XL's ceiling is likely as a lower end #1, but that would make him an elite #2.  I've likened him more as the Waddle/Higgins than the Tyreek/Chase (in terms of role as the Robin to Batman, not style of play) Coker, while we all think he can turn into something, is nowhere near good enough to go into next season as our #2 to XL's #1.  Realistically XL should be the #2 with Coker being the #3, and that still could be asking a lot from Coker at this point in his career. In today's NFL, you're not going to win many games with below average QB play and XL/Coker as your top two WRs, it's nowhere near good enough to be competitive over the course of a season.
