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.

    • I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.
    • It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!
    • I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
