Reading that Observer article brought back many fond memories of Salt and Pepper when they played togeather in the bygone days of 1996 and 1997.

The articles content also gave me a feeling of sadness because those times I enjoyed then have have long passed, just like Sam Mills and Kevin Greene.

I hated the fact that  by 1998 Lathons NFL career was cut short by repeated injuries and sadly he never had a season anything like his Pro Bowl year of 1996 again.

Lamar signed this jersey and hat for 14 yr. old me after the Panthers/Chiefs preseason game here in 1996, a jersey I bought that summer when visiting a friend in Raleigh. I was the only person he signed anything for in the entire stadium. Pretty cool gesture.

The hat was also signed by Sam Mills himself, Greg Skrepenak, and 7th round draft pick holdout Matt Finkes. The glove was game-worn by the receiver we don't speak of and I've just never reopened the frame to remove it.

What? I love Lathon, but he wasnt even the best pass rusher for any year he was on the team. Burns also has more sacks these last 3 years than Lathon from 95-97, so you`re still not making sense.

You just aren't smart.

First of all Lamar didn't have any knees left when he got here from Houston. 

Secondly he made big plays in big moments in big games something Burns doesn't do.

Thirdly he brought the pain. When has Brian Burns ever hurt someone? He tackles soft.

Lamar pressures were hits not just getting close.

 

Burns is a pussy compared to Lamar.

Lamar used to come talk to us before the games.

We chipped in for one of his fines against Steve Young and the locker room went crazy.

Lamar Lathon is the only Jersey I have ever purchased and the only one I'll wear. He played defense the way you are supposed to.

He wanted to get to the QB as bad as a scuba diver out of air wants to get to the surface.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
