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.

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      By Icege · Posted

      It's a QB driven league, which means that all of the parts surrounding the QB have to be in order. No OL? QB isn't going to have time to throw or be able to hand it off. No weapons? Won't matter how well they play, can't catch it for them. Bad coaching? They're not the ones designing and calling plays. Football is one of the ultimate team sports. All 11 players need to be in sync rather than one player being dominant (imo). Hell, even with Tom Brady, not a single one of his rings came without a top-10 defense on the other side of the ball or a top-10 OL in front of him. I can understand people having lost patience with Bryce, especially starting off on the wrong foot for the third season in a row. That's not an issue. The issue I have is with folks being intentionally misleading and attempting to tell other posters what they're not allowed to talk about. Considering how often Red has claimed others have done this to him it is interesting at best, disingenuous at worst for him to turn around and do the same.

      Sir. You have been shouting down any and all valid skepticism and criticism of our #1 overall pick for 2+ years running. You spent all last spring running cover for him and complaining about derails and toxicity only for us to open the season with back to back blowout losses largely contributed by Bryce Young's abysmal play. You have engaged in the exact same formula this spring. You've spent the last two months rage pooing my posts like an angry ten year old even while you've had me on ignore just for speaking the truth about this QB room and our offense. We opened the season with yet another blowout loss this time to a previously 4 win team. And here you are still trying to play the victim while weaponizing the reactions. Any suggestion of you being victimized by anyone else here is a complete and utter farce. You know it. I know it. Have yourself a great day.

      If he went to Clemson he would be off the board. Still hard to believe they have never drafted a Clemson player.
