The Panthers will wear a No. 51 decal on their helmets during Thursday night’s game to honor Mills, who wore that number for Carolina while playing for the team from 1995-97. The team’s current players had an advance screening of the film Saturday in Charlotte.

Said Panthers coach Ron Rivera Wednesday of why he chose to show the film to the team: “It’s just understanding our history. We’re no longer a relatively new franchise. We’ve got history and Sam Mills is such an integral part of the history. … I think it made an impact. I think they hit a home run with this one.”

 

 

Quote

Jim Mora Sr., who coached Mills in both the USFL and with the New Orleans Saints, makes the striking statement in the film that Mills was “the best player I ever coached” – and then adds that he also coached Peyton Manning for four years in the NFL.

      When a team has EXPECTATIONS you have to show them that your fandom and praise is EARNED.  People would be mad if the they lost two one goal competitive games like 2023 but they wouldn't have gotten booed out of the building because the effort and competitiveness would be there but to lose in THAT fashion at home with your entire top line going free lance and saying fug this yeahhh.

      Well with back to back road games to open the season again we really can't afford a "slow start" at least not for the psyche of the fanbase that is already at rock bottom from years of losing. I think that will depend on our approach to preseason this go around. But I do agree the makings of a culture change could be big for us. At the same time we heard talk of this last year and then we got the doors blown off multiple times. I can agree with you it's best to try to maintain perspective until we get closer to the midway point of the season. The main things I want to see early on even if we aren't necessarily winning is spark and toughness from the offense and defense and at least keeping games close.
