the luke pick was the loudest that stadium has ever been

louder than the pick against dallas in 96

I wasn't there for the championship game but the week before against the Seahawks was pretty fuging loud when Stew had that run and Luke's pick 6.

Enter Hurney. Doom of the franchise.

Nail in the coffin was Ron being a dumbass and playing an obviously hurt Cam at the end of 2016 in some meaningless games. That got the ball rolling downhill in terms of his health. Still think the franchise was salvageable before that.

Either way, Ron shouldn't have outcoached by Gary fuging Kubiak in the SB. I wouldn't even care about the state of the franchise rn if we had just won that lombardi.

oh fug i thought that WAS seattle. I didn't click the youtube. 

yeah, it was the luke pick. i could feel my seat shaking. 

the second half was the worst half of football of my life. If that game was five minutes longer the Panthers lose.

Yeah the way that game started could not have been any more perfect, I was loving every second of the first half. Ditto on the second half. Glad we pulled it out but man that 2nd half may have taken a few years off of my life...

This.  Man....  it was such a beautiful time to be a Panthers fan.  Cam and Luke were just lights out that year and at that point in time, it felt like it was absolutely our year, and we would be contending every year out from there.  My, how things quickly change.

I wish we would’ve played NE in the SB that year. It was a better matchup for us. That D line the Broncos had feasted on our inept O line and inability to adjust on the fly. Didn’t help Philly Brown went out early, our Rbs decided to loses the ball every other touch and once that Cotchery catch got deemed a drop I knew it was all over. That was a very unfortunate SB but that should’ve been what finally got us O Line help and more weapons but alas we weren’t ready for success under that regime. Great NFC championship game though, lol!

I couldn't agree more. Ron and Remmers screwed us in the big game.

    • 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
