First game in BOA since 2017. Taking the wife and one of her employees who has a developmentally disabled son and loves football. Not sure how well he'll handle the sensory overload or being somewhat restricted in a seat for 3+ hours, but we'll soon find out.

Anyway, since it's the Hall of Honor game, I thought I'd pull out my old #48 Stephen Davis jersey (opted for that over the #57 Lamar Lathon jersey) and listen to how many people don't have any idea who he was. Think the wife is following suit and will pull out her old Jake jersey.

Ahh Steven Davis. I'll never forget that magical 1999 year he had of almost 1500 yards and 17 TD's back in the old NFC west. If I recall that year correctly the Panthers finished the season with an astonishing record of .500 - good times.

Davis was a Redskin in 1999 and the Skins were never in the NFC West.

He joined Carolina in 2003 and had over 1400 yds and 8 TDs in his first season when the Panthers went to the Super Bowl.

He was? Oh well. My memory hasn't been kind to me lately. Good eye.

Oh, I thought he was saying when he got those stats while we were still in the NFC West. Didn't really know Davis's numbers prior to joining us, so I assumed they were right around that, with how well he performed for us.

 

Betcha a bunch of these kids didn't know which division we were initially in prior to the realignment in 2002.

Lamar is my favorite Panther pass rusher.

He would just kill QBs. 

When he broke Michael Irving's collar bone in the 96 playoff game I almost jumped onthe field. He used to come talk to us before games.

13.5 sacks as a ROLB in a 4-3 defense in 1996.

Had a “deep” conversation with a ‘Skins fan before the ‘03 season on how pissed he was that his team traded Davis... don’t remember seeing for any game that season at teh Varsity Club, the bar where I watched all but 2 of the games that year....

 

saw. Opening day, Jakes intro, at home working on my old  Chevy S10 and missed the 1st TBay game because I was rewiring my brothers kitchen, game was supposed to be on locals but wasn’t.... funny, the details 1 can remember.....

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
