A lot of little clues are hinting at Sam Mills III pounding the drum Sunday. My question to the younger fans...


Sam Mills Fan

Do you have a sense of the importance of Sam Mills and Keep Pounding to this organization? What comes to mind when you hear the name Sam Mills? Please be honest.

 

I agree with SMIII pounding the drum, but here's why I ask: When Ricky Proehl ripped off his jacket last week to reveal the Sam Mills jersey, the reaction was a little more muted than I was expecting. It was SUCH a cool moment and there were a lot of cheers, but a lot of the younger faces were like...huh? 

 

I hope people roar on Sunday if Mills III is indeed the one that pounds the drum.

Maybe the stadium guys should Play a Sam Mills montage on the big screen to clue the younger/newer fans in to the importance of it.

While I never really watched Sam Mills play, I did get to watch Mark Fields play. Seeing the bond those two had and the effect that it had on that '03 team was really special. It was the mantra that team and they took it to heart.

A non-sentimental point, we have a badass team motto like some of the other classic NFL teams.

This one is pretty good.  (starting at 25 seconds in) They should play it just before announcing the drum beating and add in a few more clips of Sam to it.

    • When we drafted Bryce....no one was arguing that was his game.    It is Dave's.  And he has drafted a roster post Bryce that fits it.   I still think Bryce is sort of the misplaced character in the present day build of the Panthers.  Think he naturally fits a spread them out game and nickel and dime them.  Not the chunk play vertical game on the perimeter game that is the Dave tree.  I still think Morgan is building something more along the lines of his 2003 era team.....and the best fit at QB is a downfield gambler (which is also what Dave Canales did at Tampa and Pete did at Seattle). 
    • Couple of other things that I remember even though I never rewatched the game: Play after the cotchery catch (because yes it was a fuging catch) was the strip sack fumble 6.  Can’t remember which broncos defender left early/ jumped offside on the missed field goal but it wasn’t called.  Aqib Talib (seriously fug that guy forever) getting beat by Philly brown so bad that he grabbed his face mask and yanked it like he was trying to break his neck. We got the penalty for it, but honestly he should have been thrown out of the game. Can’t remember which drive but I remember ginn running out of bounds when he seemingly had space to gain another 5-10 yards on a drive where we didn’t score.  Kony Ealy would have likely been the Super Bowl MVP had we won which sounds absurd to say since he basically disappeared from the face of the earth after that game
