Haven't watched the commercial yet, but I've heard about it.

But I don't need to watch it to know my stance on the name.

There is a reason why my sig say I'm a fan of the Burgundy and Gold.

There are some Burgundy and Gold fans like myself that have long since been embarrassed by the name.

Love the logo, love the tradition but if the intent of the name is truely to honor native americans they would more effectively achieve that goal if the name was Warriors or Shaman etc...

 

I hate that the organization is on the wrong side of this issue.

The original owner who named the team in the 1930's was a known racist who opposed having any black players on his roster until the 1960's.

 

Great history huh? Why the name has stood for so long, and still stands today in 2014 is beyond me.

      Panthers sign a center

      Poor guy went from practice squad paychecks to active roster paychecks. Based on his 1 accrued year, he went from $234k to $960k. Poor guy absolutely loves being here in Charlotte.

      Be careful what you wish for

      People wanted to get rid of Cam. He was our other fist round QB selection. You keep them through their rookie contracts. You cant provide a better solution because their isn't one right now. The only 2 QBs that could overcome our historically bad team is Mahomes and Josh Allen. They dont grow on trees buddy.  Sellars nor Archie Manning close to them right now.

      About that schedule.

      I have zero faith in Dan, Dave and Dave. Terrible owner and his wife who can't keep their noses out of football operations, Dan who is a leftover from one of the worst GMs in NFL history, and DC who is a rah rah football coach with a blah vanilla offense that looks like he's in completely over his head.  My expectations before the season was 3-4 wins. After the 1st couple games, maybe 1-2 if we get lucky. 3 if Tampa has locked up the NFCS and isn't playing for playoff position and decides to fug us over in our draft position.
