Mike Tolbert: I'll never play for anyone else

It's amazing what Ron and DG and JR have built here. Having high character guys like Mike, Jared Allen, Peanut, TD, Greg (I think he said it at some point) all saying that they won't play anywhere but here. Truly is an unmatched culture in this league and one that I believe will help us build a dynasty and be the first team since the undefeated Dolphins to win it all the year after losing the big one. Kurt as well, taking what I believe is less to stay here long term than trying to get a bigger pay day on the open market after this year similar to Mike Mitchell.

Obviously not all will have this mindset as some will be like Josh and take the most they can get (which is completely fine with me and all the respect to Josh and others for those decisions), but with DG drafting consistently well and guys wanting to stay apart of this culture I think we'll have a solid supply of talented players on contracts that are less than market value. Especially helps to have Luke and Cam locked up, the best players on each side of the ball in the entire league.

Of course nothing is a given in this league and I'm not taking last year for granted but from my perspective as a fan I don't really see any way we aren't competing for Super Bowls annually in the foreseeable future. Hopefully we can have the luck to win not just one but a couple or more in the time that we have Cam and Luke and DG and Ron in place.

IMO we are going to go be the New Patriots of the football. We have the GM the coaches and a better balanced core played to sustain success for a long period. 

 

It it starts with one play, one win , one season , one championship!

Patriots?  May be comparable as to wins and championships in our future but I think this organization is building something bigger. Being a Panther means more. I think JR+Gettleman+Rivera are the perfect combo to build a culture never seen before.  Not only as fans can we have pride in the performance of this team, but we can be very proud of these players as people. Not just 1 or 2 of the players, but the whole damn team.  It is a requirement to become a Panther.

I an very proud to be a Panther fan. (And I have been one from the beginning)

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
