Where Are They Now? 2003 Panthers

I went home for lunch and saw that our 2003 Super Bowl was being replayed.  With the recent comments from some on the 2003 team that the 2015 team would beat them, and the thread from GRWatcher I began to wonder where some of the players and coaches are now.

In addition, I know a few ex Panthers like Jordan Gross and DeShaun Foster are going to be in Santa Clara and we have seen Moose on our sideline and Brentson Buckner last week on the wrong sideline.  So I googled a few of them and these interested me.  If anyone has any more info on them or would like to add another player/coach from that team chime in! 

 

Todd Sauerbrun.  I found a good article here on his successes and failures.  I always liked the dude and his hustle but pretty negative article here.  Putting him down as our very own  "whereabouts unknown" ......  aka Bluto.

Rod Smart, found out he is a counselor in Charlotte today from this article.  Always thought he was a great contributor to Special Teams and I like how this article reveals he "thought about" renaming himself in the NFL like he had in the XFL with "He Hate Me" but realized that in XFL he was #2 rusher but in NFL he had a different role.  Said he was Ocho Cinco before Ocho Cinco was cool.

Jeff Mitchell was the subject of the earlier thread.  He still lives in Charlotte and thinks it is going to be a "boring" SB because the Panthers will jump on them early and often.  Here is the article from earlier thread and here is another good article from Baltimore media.

Mike Minter is head coach at Campbell University in Buies Creek NC and a good Twitter  follow.

Moose is or was a broadcaster. Not sure if he is still doing it, but he won an Emmy. Which would have to make him the only Carolina Panther player to play in a Super Bowl and win an Emmy award.

Moose owns Buffalo Wild Wings uptown as well as real estate here in Charlotte iirc

I'll be wearing my #30 Minter Super Bowl XXXVIII jersey tomorrow.

 

edit: looking at that photo he looks like he might could still give it a go

Minter was such a hard hitter he had a knot on his forehead for years. Glad to see it's gone now. There was no better than #30. I still have his jersey too

Dante Wesley was a guy I followed because he always came to ILM with the preseason caravan and again, I like special teams players.  Here is a 2014 article about domestic violence and it seems he is shelling a book.  

of course, he'll always be remembered for this bone-head play

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
