You guys have just as much to prove

I'm sick of Arizona and this whole me against the world thing they have going like they have more to prove and play for. Carolina needs this game to me even more then just Arizona just trying to "prove people wrong". I mean come on, its a blessing that Jerry Richardson gets to see these guys, I pray that he get to see a superbowl even in his darkest hours, he is a great man and best friend of our Owner Robert Kraft. And hey, Carolina needs this win for their growing city of Charlotte, the people, the fans, the kids, esp after loosing that Giants game to put some smiles on their faces, and alot of people without jobs here and so forth. The city of Charlotte needs something to believe in and celebrate and what greater than a Carolina Superbowl win or another Superbowl appearance. With only Nascar, (Bobcats stay have some ways to go, great job beating my Celtics though) and nothing else to cheer for and those players are stand up good character guys who fight the good fight and never give up. Carolina needs this win way more than Arizona IMO. Arizona is just trying to prove they belong. Carolina has worked towards getting back to this moment ever since Jake came back, and ever since coming 3 pts short of loosing the Superbowl. And what an inspirational story for Jake Delhomme who backed up Kurt Warner in NFL Europe to come back from TOMMY JOHN SURGERY of all things!

Is this a backhanded compliment? It seems as though you believe we need pity or something. I think Charlotte is in pretty good shape. It's not like we're Nawlins, Cleveland, Detroit or some other sh*t city.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
