At least, since the Panthers have won a conference championship.

The Panthers got their conference championship rings (which probably shouldn’t even be a thing that exists).

I googled "darin gantt conference championship rings" and, oddly enough, couldn't find any mention of Gantt's now-vocal dislike of conference championship rings... until now.

Weird.

it's that participation trophy mentality. the panthers players got superbowl participation rings and now they will lose all motivation to play for a championship because millenials think that participation trophies are the same thing as winning and america is going down the tubes because of the pussification of america and entitlement by tech-addled brats who don't want to pay their dues vote for donald trump.

Anyone my age (40) who bitches about participation trophies is full of poo. If anyone remembers childhood from the late 70s/early 80s everyone had racks of participation trophies from soccer, Basketball, baseball, swimming. Highschool letter jackets are participation trophies. What we really worked for was the gold medals, etc

This would have been good, but you probably should have backed it down to about 80% to be  effective.  The 120% method makes it too obvious.  :P

I guess me being a college football fan doesn't make this such a big deal to me.

Win the SEC?  Get SEC Champion rings.  

Its a TITLE.  You won it ON THE FIELD.  And you worked DAMN HARD to do it.

In other words, DESERVED.

Don't think Gantt's pussy ass played any sports to even know the difference between a part trophy and a ring for something...he damn sure obviously didn't win.

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
