Cant even find a Fred Lane highlight on youtube


Recommended Posts

Man, how sad is it that this guy is so forgotten you can not even find a clip of him on youtube?  I mean I remember he was on Madden doing his worm celebration on the opening video one year...  Anyone have any video of him?  I was bummed that I could not find ONE video on youtube.

Heard stories through a friend that knew him. Very generous guy, often when he didn't have to be.

He would never go down on first contact. He'd be great to watch on youtube. Sad about that.

Once again, a guy let go because of too much personality. They never forgave him after the worm.

His career was pre-digital video era for the most part. YouTube didn't come around until 6 years after his death. Couple that with the fact that the panthers weren't good enough at the time for anyone to bother digitally transferring game clips from VHS.

yeah there are a couple youtube channels where people (mainly fans of other teams) have incidentally uploaded clips of the late 90s/early 00s panther teams because they were playing a team that was good at the time

like this dude

e: not a perfect example because that was a badass panther team beating up the channel owner's favorite team but still

What other memories do you have about the Panthers that you can't find on YouTube?

I remember DeShaun Foster taking it 63 yards for a TD the first time he touched the ball in a preseason game vs. the Redskins...

Dwight Stone got knocked the F out on a return one time... I think it was vs. the Lions... but he got up, and his eyes were rolling side to side in his head and he fell back down...

I can barely find anything with Willie Green or Mark Carrier in a Panthers uniform...

Howard Griffith pancaking the hell out of dudes...

Fred Lane.

When I was 10 in 2000 I wrote Fred Lane a letter with one of his cards included and a drawing I made for him. Mailed it to the stadium and I kid you not, the next day the news broke about his wife killing him. Within a couple weeks I received the letter, unopened, back to my home in Maine. I honestly might still have the letter laying in one of my old scrap books but I am currently across the country. Would be interesting to read it today knowing what happened within a day of writing that letter.

Amazing that his wife, the murderer, was released in 2009. Is that justice? What a joke.

Battered wife defense. In this case there was no evidence for it (if anything Fred was the abused spouse), but it works every time.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
