One of the Greatest Teams All Time?

When we win the SB the 2015 Carolina Panthers will be 18-1 Super Bowl champions. Only the 3rd team all time to do this. Mike and Mike were talking about that this morning. They didn't really seem on board, Golic less so because we don't possess the greatest offense or defense of all time (which is silly because it's greatest team not greatest offense or defense).

I think we are incredibly balanced team. We lead the league in points differential and we beat at some point almost every team in the NFC playoffs many by double digits. However I doubt many ever consider  the Panthers one because we are a small town southern team. If this team played in NYC or Chicago there would have been talk of GOAT months ago. 

Thoughts?

your second biggest mistake was automatically assuming the sb will be a coronation. your biggest mistake was listening to mike and mike.

So no thoughts, just silly trolling. Jesus this board has really gotten terrible.

the panthers aren't going to be considered one of the best teams of all time because they really have no dominant identity to them. the 1984 49ers and 1996 packers, teams that dominated through the year and won through their balance are met with a rather tepid response by football historians and fanatics alike, and are overlooked in favor of teams with an iconic image like the 85 bears and their defense, 72 dolphins and their W column, and the steel curtain steelers when it comes to "best team ever" arguments.

panthers may have the dab and the attitude resembling the 85 bears, as well as the 15 wins, but they dont have the mind blowing stats like two straight playoff shutouts. nor do they have the amount of hall of famers on a single team like the 70s steelers. they are just a solid team that doesn't do anything wrong, and that doesn't sell nfl films.

We'll definitely be in the discussion. I compare us to the 85 Bears. Lotta parallels. Obviously there's Rivera, the record, stifling defense, great run game, etc. biggest difference is our QB and offense overall is much better. 

So yea, no way we're not in the discussion. #1 offense, top 5 or 10 defense, dominated turnover stats, etc etc etc.

I was born the same year as the Superbowl. I have always loved and watched as many games as I could. I have saw many great games and great players. The only reason I like stats is they are nice to look at after season is over and I'm bored. I am a huge Panthers homer and always will be. With all that said and taking off my homer glasses I can say this. The Panthers in the Cardinals game was one of the best teams I've ever saw.

The 1967-68 Green Bay Packers are considered to be two of the greatest teams ever in NFL history. Guess where they play ?

We'll be alright.

The thing about this team that makes it great is, when it's firing on all cylinders, it just relentlessly dismantles and annihilates anything in its way. Nobody in the league matches up to us when we play like we did against Arizona or the 1st half against Seattle. A 13-3 team and a team that had made the last two superbowls and we made them look like the Cleveland Browns.

Your question is confusing me can you sum it up with a music video? Lol. (Love your vids) ;-). If you mean which Superbowl year I was born in, the very first ever. Lol

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
