Just came across this again on youtube. Man, I miss all our core players from those days. We may have come up short those few great seasons we had but still, from what we've seen from Tepper and company I'd gladly take that again, at least being relevant and in the mix.

We've tried replacing a grown ass man at QB1 with mere little boys. We've tried replacing a wise veteran of the game at coach, with a cutesy coach fitted for leading high school kids.  

The culture of a team lives and dies with their leaders and leaders we do not have.

That is my all time favorite Panthers video. As much as I loved our 2015 team, I just feel like our 2003 squad had a better story. Had more heart. 2015 was a letdown at the end, more than anything. 
 

When Jake made his first start for the Panthers, I was only 10. 11 by the time the Super Bowl was played. This was only the third season I had been following the team every game, being so young. 
 

Just a great, innocent time in my life that I miss sometimes. What an awesome season.

2003 felt like we were the little engine that could. We just kept winning when we weren't supposed to. So that had something special. But it also hurt so badly to lose that way.

2015 felt like a dream run of a season culminating in what was supposed to be a coronation as champions. I was just mad all game long watching that shitshow. It was the worst team we faced all offseason and we poo the bed in a dramatic fashion. 2015 was magical as the season progressed but ended in horrible fashion.

You got it right in the end, but Cam was done when he was replaced.  It was the right call.  Rivera was done when he was replaced.  Correct call.

The problem was the replacements we brought in are/were not up to the standards.

We all listened to Tepper when he said mediocrity was not acceptable.  Unfortunately, we assumed he meant we would be striving for better.  Instead, we are now terrible.  Hooray for the death of mediocrity!

In 2015, we celebrated too soon. Karma came looking for us and she just rubbed our noses in it.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
