From an ESPN article that I think came out almost 15 years ago, as evidenced by the "Current Crazies" at the bottom - the link is dated 2012, but I remember reading and giving a presentation about it during my junior year of HS: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/magazine/archives/news/story?page=magazine-19981214-article22

 

Panthers connection: Kevin Greeen is listed as a "Current Crazy" and a Carolina player.

 

With regards to Bednarik:

 

The Madness (Off-Field): After losing at a country club game of gin, he hurled both decks into the air, then methodically spiked each and every card (104 of them) with his golf shoes. Nutritional Supplements: Averaged as many as 15 cigarettes before a game, then one or two at halftime; took a "bennie" before night games to stay "alert." The Harder Side: 49ers fullback Joe Perry once ran over Bednarik's right bicep with his cleats, ripping the muscle from the bone. Bednarik walked over to the Eagles bench, worked the torn muscle back up his arm, had the trainer put tape over the bicep then continued playing. The Softer Side: Played the accordion. One of his favorite songs was "Somewhere My Love." Additional Gig: Disc jockey at a radio station in Bethlehem, Pa.

      Evero and the pass rush

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
