The sucker punch heard around the world?

Not trying to bring up bad memories in any kind of way, but if the Panthers go on to actually win the Super Bowl, can't you just here the football pundits and sports psychologists pondering what Smitty's unfortunate indiscretion with the nose of Ken Lucas meant in the greater scheme of things to the success of our season this year?

Of course we will never know, but for some reason I get the feeling that the punch helped to bring the team together, and helped Smith to become even more focused and professionally minded. Though some may not see it, I think that Smitty is more mature and humble in the midst of arguably his best season (definitely second best). I tried to tell people that with a successful season that all would be forgotten, and I must say that Smith is probably the most beloved Panther once again. He is a man on a mission, and I believe that the way that Ken Lucas (first and foremost) and Smith handled the situation helped inspire the team to reach for higher heights. Lucas made a statement with his handling of the situation. Smith has made a statement with his attitude on and off the field, and the Panthers have made a statement to the league by having a very successful season. It reminds me of the saying by the Verizon guy, "Can you hear me now? Good!"

i hate that it will be brought back up...the only punch that matters is the ones that come from williams/stewart.

i know that the further the panthers go this year, though, the more of a big deal will be made.

makes for good TV. still annoying to have it brought up again.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Yeah, I've been torn up all week about this. And I'm going to be honest, you and I don't know poo about what is going on with the team. Are they losing the locker room? Not seeing anything from the players about that, just seeing it on forums like this. Are they concerned? Yeah, I'd think that would be a reasonable assumption. Are they rallying around Bryce? Yeah, that I'm seeing from the stuff we see of the players. Is some of it a bit drummed up, quite possibly. Is some of it genuine care and belief in their teammate, yeah most definitely. What is Morgan going to do? Hell, that was just week 1. And week one is often a liar. Once in a while it tells the truth (and that sure was an ugly one to tell last Sunday). Most often, it's just what it is. Half the teams that played in week one lost. Straight down the middle. Sometimes it was a close game, sometimes it was a blowout. We got punched in the face, had our lunch money stolen and Jacksonville kissed our girlfriend.  Me, I saw a team that wasn't up to speed yet. We were playing like this was the fourth pre-season game like we used to have. We're going to learn a lot about Bryce, this team, our coaching and team management after this week's game. It's against the Cardinals, a team that has always been one of those benchmarks for it. Beat them and good things happen (remember that killer game Julius Peppers had against them), lose and it often starts the fast slide to the bottom again (sadly, that playoff game with Jake...). Right now, the Cardinals have their Bryce Young, except their guy still has a better PR department. They have a meh-ish defense. They have a star WR that is underperforming and was possibly over-drafted. They don't have many stars to speak of and dwell around 3rd-4th place in their division on a regular basis. In other words, they are pretty much on par with us. And they are a forgotten team as well, playing games in obscurity. So, yeah, we're going to learn the tale of the season this weekend. And honestly, if we lose like we just did or worse, and I was Dan Morgan, I'd be working on polishing up that resume`.

      Keeping it real about Bryce Young. Listen to those who actually watched film.

      Lol I don’t understand why everyone is liking that post and quoting it, it’s from last season. Did I miss something?

      At this point, I don't want anymore fools gold from Young. He either needs to be in the MVP conversation  (lol) or I want to get blown out every game until he is off the team. Our front office just isn't bright enough to handle anything in between.
