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.

      It’s time to discuss DANimal Morgan as our GM

      He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan.

      I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
