I just came in here to post this article.  It is a great read.  (Wow, we're so spoiled this week with Roman Harper's column, and now this great interview with Jake...)

Quote

 

Q. On offense, the popular theory now is that losing Benjamin may have made Cam a better QB this season because it forced him to spread the wealth. Do you buy that?

A. You do change as a quarterback when that happens. My best year statistically was the year I did not have Steve (Smith). He broke his ankle in ’04. So literally, we changed our offense (and Delhomme posted career highs with 29 TD passes and 3,886 yards). ... Keary Colbert had his best year, playing Steve’s position.

And we manufactured a lot of plays for Moose (Muhsin Muhammad) out of play-action and two tight-end sets. He led the league in TDs (16) and receiving yards (1,405) that year. Then Steve came back the next year, in 2005, and led the league in those two categories plus receptions, too. All of that meant me having to evolve and it made me a better quarterback.

[...]

Q. OK, let me put it this way. What is the chance that the 2015 Panthers win the first Super Bowl in franchise history?

A. I think it’s greater than a 50 percent chance. There’s a strong shot to make a deep, deep run. I just hope Cam limits his hits. I know he is Superman but you want to limit the hits on him.

He can take a hit, though. I try to explain to people about the first time I ever saw Cam in the locker room a few years back. I said, ‘Oh my gosh. I can see why they can’t tackle him!’ That is a massive man.

I loved Jake as our QB in those days, and he definitely holds a special place in Panthers history for what he and those teams accomplished.  Having said that, this '15 Panthers team has a chance to be that team that we all tell our grandkids about. Cam, Luke, TD, Olsen, J-No, Stewie, etc. are doing something special this year down on Mint Street. Hey, the Miracle on Mint Street! 19-0!

"I don’t know who they are going to play that is better than they are. The Giants game (Dec. 20 on the road) maybe could have bad weather, but I think we are made for bad weather. And I say ‘we’ because I still consider myself a Panther."

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By panthers55 · Posted

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.

      For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder.

      Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
