The Carolina Panthers are a sneakily successful football franchise that sometimes goes unnoticed by casual football fans. The football squad has a freak of nature quarterback in the 6'5, 245lb Cam Newton that has the ability to do it all. Newton has a rocket of an arm and better mobility than any other speedster quarterback in the league. Unfortunately, the Panthers were not able to clinch a playoff berth this past season as the team ended the season with a record of 7-9.
The Carolina Panthers were able to reach the big dance recently but lost Super Bowl 50 to the Denver Broncos in 2015 which definitely had an impact on the team's current fan base. Ultimately, the Carolina Panthers ranked 22nd in fan equity, an impressive 4th in social equity, and 27th in road equity.
