A Odd Franchise


3MTA3

Recommended Posts

Our only player in our hall of honor only played three seasons for us, and was about washed up when we got him, plus was slow and short. Our first franchise quarterback quit on us during the season. Our best play maker for most of the last 6 years is a wide receiver who is shorter than almost every corner back in the league, and probably would have never been a starting wide out with any other team in the league. Plus he personally lost a few games for us with his temper. We forced a defensive end who did all he could to get away from this team and move on, to stay, and hoped he would do what he did last season for us this season. He has only stepped up now cause of the player comments, and media attention, and doesn't want his actions to hurt his ability to sign with whatever team he wants to go to. Am I the only one who sees how bad this team has been managed? It is a joke from the top down!

Their loss.

Oh yeah, Carolina from an organizational standpoint is far from a "joke". Richardson is one of the most well-regarded owners in the league and John Fox is widely respected (outside of the fans of course). This thread is a perfect reflection of our new-ish fanbase. You don't know how truly awful a "bad" front office can be. See the Bills, Lions, Browns, Rams, Jaguars, Saints up until 2006, and Redskins for a start.

Please stop posting, this guy is obviously either a Saints or Falcons fan. Man do I feel bad for you though, you seriously need to get a life. But don't worry, your day will come when you suck too, or should I say, AGAIN!

drafting Julius Peppers

Thomas Davis

You know, it's easy to only point to the bad things...

As far as Steve Smith being too small to make it as a receiver on other teams. Well, other teams would have found out soon enough just how GREAT Smith was; minus his size issue. Wes Welker (5-9), DeSean Jackson (5-10), etc. Don't tell me teams don't give chances to small receivers.

I do agree with you that we sort of forced Peppers into a situation he doesn't want. $16 million or $20 million, when somebody says, "I don't want to be here.." you need to respect that. Like any of us, we only live once and Julius himself, doesn't want to spend his entire life in North Carolina. He deserves that much. Too bad we couldn't get a draft pick for him, but as Fox would say, "it is what it is".

I also agree that giving Sam Mills a statue is a bit much. I understand the heart and soul he showed but I think it's a little extreme.

    • When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
    • Dude you are smart fan. 3 on 0 breakaways won’t matter who is in net. You gotta be better on this one. 
    • Raiders are gonna get a good one. Rather have Mendoza fly out and play for the Panthers tomorrow than Bryce
