What is the deal with all the panthers fans?

I understand its a new season and with it brings new hope. But come on your team was the worst last year being outscored by 212 points. Thats getting beat by just under 2 TD's a game. Ok so you resigned players who were part of that losing effort thats nothing to brag about. Your team really hasnt done anything to improve. You play in the NFC south which last year had 3 teams with 10+ wins. YOu have the hardest schedule in 2011. I geuss you have the #1 pick in 2012 to look forward to. Seems Andrew Luck with be a Panther after all.
