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.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
