so what did the last ~20 years of panthers football feel like to you

asking because for me it felt like being on a trireme led by a captain that embarks on a voyage that should take only 3 years to reach its destination, and ends up dicking around so much that by the time you dock at ithaca, the steamships are already dominating the mediterranean sea.

we sat through a 20 year period of the same dude running the offseason the same way for about 15 of those years, coaches that overstay their welcome, players that stick like glue, some of them so bad that being a starter for ten games feels like ages. and it makes me think about the passage of time compared with everything else going on. sometimes i have to remind myself that some 2012 panthers bullshit was 9ish years ago and not 3. things i had going on back then were so much different.

i know we’re just finally going beyond jerry richardson’s reign of terror and all of the baggage is finally gone but ffs...

Curious how you changed your behavior and support (or lack thereof) over those 20 years?

    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.     
    • Im really curious to see how the defense is going to look once its playing with some leads.
