A lot has been made of the Panthers' loose, over-the-top personality and how it has rubbed some fans the wrong way.
It's ironic that a player who calls himself the Dark Knight is one of the main reasons we have to ask opposing fans a question made famous by Heath Ledger's Clown Prince of Thieves. Batman supporters uttering the question "Why so serious?" seems like borderline heresy, but it's one Panther fans have been asking a lot lately. The 2015 Carolina Panthers have heeded their head coach's advice that they be themselves. It is, after all, what got them to this point.
