I had no idea lol!! Read this

CAROLINA PANTHERS

Panthers team president Mark Richardson, the son of team owner Jerry Richardson, chose the Panthers nickname because "it's a name our family thought signifies what we thought a team should be—powerful, sleek and strong." Richardson also chose the 1995 expansion team’s color scheme of black, blue, and silver, a choice that initially came under scrutiny from NFL Properties representatives. According to one newspaper report, the concern was raised at the 1993 NFL meetings that a team nicknamed the Panthers that featured black in its color scheme would appeal to street gangs and reflect poorly on the league.

This is false.

The true story comes from the Panther of Independence Blvd.  Prior to the hot tub stores and car dealers, the road was once a mighty corridor, spanning from Uptown to Myrtle Beach with pink and turquoise poo everywhere.  A local magistrate, Otto Hubberson, had a barber he went to on Independence.  I was there where a secret lair of witches, warlocks, and ghouls hid about the Charlotte suburbs.  This secret underground cult of independence had their hideout about a 1/2 mile past Ovens Auditorium.  It was here where a young Richardson once found himself after ice skating at Eastland and watching Big Trouble in Little China at the theaters one fateful night.  He decided to get his hair cut, and the day just brought a certain allure to the beyond.  He made some lines in the snow, knocked out the barber, snuck to the back, and found the witches lair! It was here where they granted him three truths.  One being the Panthers, one being that the BBQ at Hornets games was secretly awesome, and that a hidden treasure laid in the depths of the University Area man made lake that would take the top city officials down!

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
