First Game Back in a Couple Years


Anybodyhome

Recommended Posts

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.....

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
