Panthers Defensive Backfield Hangs Out With Fans From Winnsboro

Nice seeing our players go out of their way to surprise fans in the community. Kurt Coleman was the one who basically helped organize this. Basically they went out to this rural community, and talked/hung out with the residents. Read if you must:

To have the NFC champions’ entire defensive backfield arrive for a community barbecue – and then get to dance to Future and O.T. Genasis songs with the players? It had to seem like a dream.

...

But Coleman wanted to go beyond the standard pro athlete meet-and-greet-style appearance. This wasn’t an event where the Panthers showed up and sat in an autograph line or just posed for pictures as fans lined up. After a 65-mile trip from Charlotte – and a 20-minute drive from the nearest interstate -- Coleman asked his teammates to blend into the crowd and make personal connections.

“This is why we’re given this opportunity,” Coleman told USA TODAY Sports. “We want to win championships, yes. But to be able to make an impact greater than yourself, that’s what’s lasting. That’s what leaves an impression upon people. If I can just reach one young child to let them know they can become great and they can do great things, this trip will have made a difference.”

    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
    • You two. I have four types of pain meds now. Lol
