Our version of being like Dallas?

Most, if not all of us, love to remind Cowboy fans (when they spout about all their Super Bowl wins) that their last trophy came in ... 1996. That's longer than some of you have been alive lol. "fIvE rINgS! HoW bOuT dEM CoWboYS!11".

But today, I was reading that we are working out Norman. ESPN added this to the article:

Quote

Josh Norman, a key piece of the team's 2015 drive to the Super Bowl when interim coach Steve Wilks was in charge of the secondary, tried out for the team Monday with the expectation to sign and play at least a minor role against the Buccaneers with the division title up for grabs.

We have a handful of posters excited about Josh's return in the Josh Norman thread today. But ... um ... 2015 was a long ass time ago. Not Cowboys Long of course ... but still long. And obviously we always bring up Cam's MVP season, Luke, Olsen, etc. every single year here.

So my question is ... when do we need to stop talking about 2015 like it was yesterday? Yes, Norman was on that team. Neat. Now he's that much older. Yes, Cam was the best QB in the NFL that year. Neat. Now he's not even in the NFL. Yes, Luke and Greg were elite as FUG in 2015. Neat. Now one is an announcer and the other probably still has headaches.

At some point, other fans are going to start reminding us just how long ago 2015 was.

Im old school, so i think of dallas vs carolina in 96 terms.......

With all the "well playoffs, just going lost, smooth brain talk" Ive been trying to tell people to look back to 96 and the playoffs against the blowboys.....

Besides the eagles, none of the nfc playoff teams are scary....(tho SF getting QB magic is another)... panthers can beat the blowboys...

Who talks about 2015 like it was yesterday? How old are you? 7 years isn't really all that long, honestly.

In football years it's like a generation.  How many guys from that 2015 team are still in the NFL. Not on the Panthers, just still playing in the NFL.  Just FYI it's less than half.

Just enjoy the nostalgia. Newsbreak: we're 6-9 only in the playoff hunt because we play in an all time putrid division. We still suck. So just enjoy the fun things. Bringing J-No back is fun.

I don’t get the incessant need to spout “the Panthers suck.” It’s like people cannot see the difference in the team now and the team under Rhule. The team under Rhule sucked (1-4 record). The team under Wilkes does not suck (5-5 record). 

Denver sucks. Arizona sucks. Chicago sucks. Houston sucks. Despite its shortcomings, the current Panthers team is not great, maybe average, but they don’t suck.

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
