In '03 my mom was the Charlotte city spokeswoman and told me how difficult it was because the city was so excited for the Panthers and really wanted to do something, but the Richardsons and Coach Fox wanted to do nothing at all (like GTG said, they thought it would be a distraction).

I'd be surprised if they agree to anything until the Super Bowl assuming we get that far.

We went to the Super Bowl that year so obviously Fox and Richardson were wrong. This city needs more diehard fans, doing things that involve the fans.... helps.

I wish they'd do something. Maybe all the talk will start once we know who we're facing. Then here on the board we can analyze and stratagize, but out there and in the media I want them to get people PUMPED UP. Tell us what color to wear, organize a Growl Towel give away, have a pep rally, release full page mini-section in the paper. I swear, if next to nothing special happens and it's just "another big game" I'll be pissed. I didn't start going to all the games until 2004 so this is my first taste of the Playoffs at home. Don't drop the ball. Oh, that goes for the players too hahaha.

I'd rather the players focus and for the town to do whatever it needs to do to facilitate that.

I had a blast at the '93 pep rallys as well, but in hindsight - they made us look like amateurs. I'd like to think we've learned a little bit since then. I have. If the team says ok, then fine, if not, leave it alone.

If we win the Superbowl there will be plenty of time to celebrate.

During the '03 playoffs it was fun, though, to go to the stadium late at night when the team was coming back from away games to greet the players. Did the same thing in '05 as well. There were at least a thousand people (probably more) that were at the stadium after the Bears game in '05. The players were great, and I'm sure it meant something to them being that it was pretty late at night.

The '03 experience was pretty great. People driving down the streets honging horns, people hugging strangers, the waiting....and waiting...at the stadium - the only downside to that was the WRFX dorks trying to keep up the enthusiasm with anything they could think of - at one point weren't they asking the crowd to cheer for the Tarheels or something?

I've always been the type to "act like you've been there" rather than the "mouth dropping in awe" type..... I'm glad the team is like that, the Cardinals celebrated last week like they won a Superbowl because they are happy just to be in the thing, anything less than a Lombardi and it is a disappointment for me.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
