My mental image of Sam is always picking off the toss in the backfield.

There are others that are great, but to this wide-eyed boy watching his first win, none will top it.

Yeah, off Bubby Brister and the Jets.  That's my foremost Mills memory too.

How can this guy tweeting at Peter King really think the Panthers of all teams get “preferential treatment” dude must have been born late 90s or just be new to sports in general. 

Because literally all fanbases outside of the Cowboys think this. The only reason they get a pass is because their fanbase is massive. It’s a HUGE percent range of customers…would be dumb to disappoint them. It’s money, not anything else. It’s alike to the refs always screwing ‘their team’ and no one else.

It’s comedic seeing this board try and find conspiracy’s and then go to other fans forum and find, literally, the exact same argument with examples.

It’s playing on the whole ‘doubters’, ‘haters’ mantra that so many need to thrive. Even players at the top of their game with zero criticism reference haters to fuel their play, because without it, they lack a huge amount incentive and motivation. Plenty of Panther player examples.

In reality, the NFL is just jumps on the flavor of the week like any other news or entertainment video, nothing more (see the Bengals who have been ignored for the past 30 years).

Cowboy fans think it too.

Guess I meant to say there is no glaring preferential treatment outside of the Cowboys.

…Cowboy fans’ extent of being out of touch with present reality is not something I can even begin to explain.

I remember where he intercepted the shovel pass from Brister for a pick six to spur our first franchise win over the jets. That was great to see in person. And was a harbinger of things to come in 1996. What a defense....

Zach Thomas was a good player and should at some point make the HOF.  You can argue he was better but there is also an argument that Mills was better.

What I think a lot of those people complaining are forgetting is that even if Zach Thomas was "better", Mills also has his line of work as coaching as a reason why he should be in. I mean, how many other former players could actively say the whole background and philosophy of a franchise was built around them. The history of "Keep Pounding" alone should be reason enough for him to make it.

Being the sole reason for our Mantra "Keep Pounding" would tip the scales for me too.

Ironhead Heyward... there's a name I haven't heard in a lonnnng time.

His legacy in football lives on.  Steelers all pro defensive lineman Cam Heyward is one of his son's.  He literally writes "IRON HEAD" on his gameday eye black.  If you watched the Senior Bowl this year, Connor Heyward was playing.  That's his youngest son.  He went to Michigan State, and they spent some time talking about his dad.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.

      Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
