Remember Michael Bates?

Random topic, but man that guy was a monster.

The funny thing is is that our kick returning sucks, but the Panthers have had a decent history of kick returners. First there was Bates, who was good enough to be on the NFL's 1990 all decade team. Then after he retired, Steve Smith came into the league... and we haven't had a decent return threat since...

Bates was good! He's definately one of my favorite returners... Its funny someone started this thread cause I played a GameDay 98 today on playstation 1 today against my cousin, and Bates was the returner... I cant believe how bad the graphics were... and to think that I use to think that was game was the heat!

    • The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.
    • Dowdle looked great. Watching him made this game alot of fun.  
    • We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
