Just finished the McCoy presser and he mentioned the 'culture' here in Carolina.. I happen to agree with him a lot because I live up here in the DC area and fully understand how a bad locker room culture (although, very entertaining) can rip a team apart.. I know we have always had great players/coaches but was wondering - Who you attribute the Panther Culture to directly? How did we develop it?

Obviously, Sam Mills comes to mind.. but I also go down the list of guys like Moose, Ruck and Mint - all the way to guys like TD and Luke.. And there have been some dark moments too but a strong culture got us through it all..

 

Just wanted to throw this topic out there since it's the offseason.. Thoughts?

I don't know if we can attribute it to one person, but it is why I love this team.  I am glad that torch is still lit and being carried for now.  Losing that identity was the main fear when I knew Tepper was coming.  So far, so good.  Absolutely love what has changed so far.

So glad this is being brought up.  My best friend and I have argued back and forth this point.  He says I place too much value on locker room chemistry, bit it does make an impact.

There has been a dynamic shift in organizational atmosphere with Tepper. Pretty sure it plays a substantial role in player recruitment. 

Worth noting: The @RoaringRiot has impressively worked to galvanize a core group of fans. It’s left an impression beyond fan engagement—people in the building have clearly taken notice. Hats off. 

If you enjoy good football, brought to you by good people both on and off the field, it’s a good time to be a Panthers fan.

FWIW, to me, both Sam Mills earlier on and Smitty later embodied and shaped what I consider "Panthers culture."

We're the small market, perpetually overlooked and underestimated team.

Mills was an undersized linebacker that was quietly great.

Smitty was an undersized WR that was loudly great and GOAT IDGAF.

Combine the two, and you've got the near 25 years of Panthers football.

It's a bit of an oxymoron, I know, but we truly split our time prowling in the shadows and roaring and pouncing. We're quietly loud.

As great as his legacy is, Sam Mills isn't known by most of the guys who play here or who are on staff. 

The culture is defined by leadership. If this were the Patriots, it would be easy to say that its Bill and Tom. 

For us... It's Ron and Cam.

The answer is Richardson and Hurney. Richardson built the team and got hurney so things would be done his way. Strictly with the players, you couldn’t ask for much more in terms of great team culture than what JR brought to the table. His fingerprints are still all over the team and hurney is still the GM.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
