I wonder how hard Bill Polian is laughing?

9 straight years in the playoffs. That's only happened, umm one other time with the 70's Cowboys.

2 Super Bowls. 1 win and 1 loss. New stadium. Multiple Pro Bowlers and a few Hall of Famers all drafted by Polian.

It's a shame Bill refused to eat more Bojangles.

Polian and Goodell were getting a pretty good chuckle at the opening NFL Owner-GM meeting this year when Richardson was at the podium for a good 20 minutes blabbering and cursing about pretty much nothing. Basically, JR was a key note speaker at the conference...it was quite the spectacle.

Roger told Polian during it: If I interject, it would probably be too embarrassing

He is not laughing. He is thankful Peyton Manning stayed in school another year so they could draft him, because if that had not happened, that playoff success at Indy doesn't happen. Sometimes, its about luck, sometimes its about skill, and sometimes its a combination of the two.

deac, fwiw(couldn't resist) he could have as easily taken Leaf. He rolled the dice and did well. But that wasn't his only move.

Just look at his wikipedia profile. Chock full of great moves.

JR letting him go was easily the dumbest move he ever made.

But alas. We love us some mediocrity here so I will mosey on.

9 years is like 2 totally different football teams.

But there was one constant: Franchise QB Peyton Manning.

We were so close this year to having an opportunity.............

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
