The Carolina Panthers have had their good seasons, and they've definitely had their bad ones. If you pay attention to professional football, you should know that we are definitely in the midst of one of those good seasons. Hell, I'd even say it's been a great season. And with a great season comes bandwagon fans. So I'm here to tell you why the Carolina Panthers are awesome all the time, even during the bad seasons, and why you should be a fan even when they're having a not-so-great season.

1. Cam Newton (a.k.a. Superman)

"Cam the man." He definitely has his flaws, and maybe isn't the most humble of players, but we can usually count on him when we're in a bind, and we are lucky to have him as our quarterback. He is the only player in NFL history with 30 or more passing touchdowns and 20 or more rushing touchdowns in their first two seasons. Also, just look at the smile.

2. Luke Kuechly

LUUUUUUKE. While we're on the topic of attractive football players, we need to talk about Luke. He's just so freakin' nice to look at.

3. Their home stadium is located in the best city in America.

Yes, I really do believe that Charlotte, North Carolina, is the best city in America. (And the world.) The whole city bleeds teal and black for the Panthers, and the games are so fun and full of support for our team. To make things even cooler, the Panther statues outside the stadium are the largest sculptures ever commissioned in the United States.

4. Their mascot rocks.

Let's just not talk about some of the ridiculous mascots in the NFL, and let's really not talk about the ridiculous ones in college football. The panther is stealthy, powerful, and we've definitely been living up to our mascot's reputation lately. Sir Purr is irreplaceable.

5. Their colors flatter anyone.

Don't pretend that you don't wanna look cute while dressed up for your team. You do, and with teal and black you can literally look adorable for every game.

6. They just had their first 8-0 start in franchise history.

Yeah, I get that this is kind of a bandwagon reason to like them. But let's be honest here: The Carolina Panthers are going places and y'all are gonna want to be around to see it.
