Watching the video attached to the article beginning at 58:00mins, they discuss Panthers vs Texans. They start by sharing "traumatic" experiences they've had with Panthers fans and how they attack you if say something bad about the team or any player. 

it starts with a Marc Sessler's confession and acknowledgement of Josh Norman's great game against Jax.

PS: that huddle thread gets a mention.

I knew there had to be some kind of backlash against the media for going out of their way to trash our entire franchise and players. One analyst a few weeks ago flat out said "the Panthers are a lousy franchise, and they're going to have a lousy season". He was squirming around in his chair and waving his hands around like he was in pain because he had to think about the Panthers. Another major "expert" admitted that he would sometimes force himself into "hate watching" Panther games as a form of torture to let out some anger. I know we're a small market team, and some of our fans are metrosexual and indifferent toward winning, but we have passionate fans as well. We don't want to be told repeatedly that our franchise is garbage, and that we're going to lose to teams like Jaguars. So yes Panthers fans are a little prickly by now.

That was Gregg Rosenthal. He was the guy on far left in the video OP is talking about.  I'm surprised he didn't mention it when everyone else was talking about getting bashed for what they said

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
