When Harper was a Saint I really hated him.  I was unhappy we picked him up honestly.  But the more I read about him, the more I have grown to begrudgingly respect him.  I know why we picked him up even though I didn't at the time.  I guess the cheap shot mentality was a Saints thing. and not clearly who he was.  Good article and insight from a guy who is making a difference on this team on and off the field.

There were plenty of people who were unhappy when the Panthers signed Harper. I'll admit that, for my part, I was skeptical.

There are people even now who say they still don't like Harper. A few have even said that no matter what happens, they never will.

Let me tell you this:

If you can read that article all the way through and come away feeling anything but very happy that Harper is a Panther, I don't know what to say to you.

Anybody that had any question about why he is on this team should read this article... He was brought here to do way more than just play safety. Although we've seen some gaps in his coverage skills, he's more than made up for it with his leadership and mentoring. I wouldn't mind seeing him hanging around after his playing days and being a DB coach.

I don't think Harpers addition and Normans emergence coming at the same times are a coincidence, especially when you saw how Norman talked about Harper at the end of last season, and how he talked about Munnerlyn before the Vikings game

I love how he showed the comparisons and the differences.  He never came out and said it but I got that the Panther way is a better way.

You could tell that he was trying very hard not to be preferential. Still, some of it came out in subtle ways.

This just shows how wrong we can be about a guy. He is a true team player and good person. Because he got in a scrum with 89, we all thought he was an ass....consider who the problem was with. Number 89 fought with everyone, so not suprising him and Harper had words.

Don't twist history.  Harper hit him late in the end zone.

But I'm glad he's a Panther now.

(Hey, Salt)

You want to add another dimension to that article?

Imagine what a Saints fan would feel reading some of the things he says about that 2009 team versus this one.

I think he was pragmatic in the way he discussed the Saints culture. It was definitely different than what he sees now here in Charlotte, but their way worked for that team and that city.

This was an excellent read and it did nothing but enhance my love for this team!

Plus being 30 whatever he is now in comparison to late 20s gives him a much different perspective. 

We are lucky to have a group of players who get it.

how can you not love this team... what we have in carolina...after 20 years carolina has finally had its foundation layed about who were are going to be. and has cemented itself in NFL history as a brilliant example of what football SHOULD be. the dab was only the beginning... expect this team to be emulated top to bottom.

 

Ill come right out and say it.  At this moment, There is no greater franchise in the NFL than the carolina panthers

      Panthers plan to revisit signing Stephon Gilmore after draft

      By Basbear · Posted

      I bet he wants 8+ million AND a team with a playoff roster.   Dan should just look at other options, including future cuts.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Lol. I asked you to show me where Frank said Dalton presented a much greater threat than Bryce Young (your words) and you give me your interpretation of something completely different that he said. Most normal people would listen to Reich there and see that as standard coachspeak conveying confidence in his back-up QB and your brain translates that into Reich calling out Bryce’s limitations. No poo he’s gonna say Andy can do more than one thing…why the hell would Reich say to everyone “hey if you see Andy coming in on 4th and short, IT MEANS QB SNEAK!”. If your interpretation is correct, then you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think that’d be a headline in multiple articles across multiple publications. Yet not a single site reported on it or even referenced anything he said here…that’s why you had to dig deep to find the source material rather than a single reference to it from an outside source. There’s a reason why The Huddle was the only place talking about it lol we are totally known for our rational levelheaded takes and NOT sensationalizing everything like it’s a damn soap opera (cue the pic of Nicole Tepper hugging Bryce). I guess I could claim “CRA says he thinks Bryce Young is trash and a huge bust” and if anyone asks me to source you saying that, I’ll just give my own multiple paragraph interpretation breaking down one of your posts. Btw having a difference of opinion is not being “wildly dishonest”…what a crazy suggestion for a mod of a discussion board to make. Claiming someone said something that they didn’t say? Yeah that’s being objectively dishonest.
