Wait, what? I thought you were... never mind. I'm so confused right now.

This is why Diontae had to go. Anyone think Mingo was another "issue"?

The team does care, I see it on the field as well. 

 

And that has been missing for a long, long time.

Good to read. 

Now, let’s stockpile some talent and make some noise over the next few years.

It's a good sign for sure. I'm not sure the darkest days are over just yet.  But maybe, just maybe this is the beginning of something to build on that has grown organically from within. Only time will tell.

It's always darkest before the dawn

But culture and camaraderie can't be underestimated.  I dunno how many dream teams, big free agent signees, and just totally loaded teams ive seen completely implode bc of the clash of personalities and lack of of buy in and leadership 

talent is great but leadership is just as important

Darrin Gamt is such a goober 

He’s a little more tolerable now that it’s not his entire life’s mission to take potshots at Jerry Richardson.

Don't think mingo was an issue in that regard. Just dead weight that another team wanted and paid a hefty price for because they thought they saw something special.

Diontae big time issue. Mingo just fell out of favor and we had an opportunity to fleece the Cowboys.

Because they feel something, I now feel something. I haven't cared about the Panthers in 2-3 years.

I’m telling y’all, I’m buying more and more in to the hiring of Morgan as the GM. Every player in that locker room knows that Dan was that dude on the football field.  He’s a Panthers old head. Double OG.

When he walks in that locker room, you know those men listen. I really think they are beginning to buy in to what he is trying to do…. Rebuild Panthers culture. He can relate to guys that no x and o GM ever could. He’s one of them and played in one of the best SB of all time. 

This season they’ve gone from being completely unwatchable to actually competing with big dogs. It’s fun.

It's too early to say for cetain but overall team culture may be the biggest contribution Canales has brought here. When he talked about Brooks reinjuring his ACL, he kept going back to the mental aspect of it. The thing with adversity is that overcoming it is more than just rehabbing, workouts, reps and studying. There's also having the motivation to keep pushing on despite how difficult it may be with injuries, mistakes and losses. At least to me, this unit is playing a lot more like an actual team supporting each other rather than a collection of individuals who just so happen to work together. 

Whether we can sustain this is going to be the question, but I would hope the team as a whole understands that it's starting to get noticed by everyone. Please keep this up.

Changing the culture was always going to be the hard part.  Usually the wins have to come first, but this is a sign that they’re truly buying in and that’s nothing to scoff at.

This could be a much bigger deal than most are willing to admit.  Maybe, just maybe, the darkest days are behind us.

This needs to happen quicker, I'm not getting any younger.

Yeah, he sucked at playing football in the nfl.
