This had me lol in the youtube comments 

[PantherChris]

I mean the Panthers GM used to post on this forum back in the day and the jerk offs trolled him with concussion comments...  

 

Heck id bet if the Luke Ness Monster himself posted here there would be jerk offs doing the same thing.

Dan still can’t watch the 2003 SB tape. Can’t blame him. He’s definitely not ok with losing.

And he was probably the MVP of that game had the panthers won.   He had 11 unassisted tackles, 7 assisted, for 18 tackles, the most in Super Bowl history--think about that-Ray Lewis, Jack Ham, Mike Curtis, Ray Nitschke, Mike Singletary--the list of super bowl ILBs is sick.

I remember that game, vividly. I dare argue 2003 was the most talent stacked team our franchise has ever seen. HOF level talent: Dan, Peppers, Jenkins, Steve. Undeniable. Think about it. He had the chance to be the MVP of the Cinderella team that took down the goat in his prime. 

 I don’t want to derail the original topic, but some fans just are too young to appreciate the caliber player Dan was. 

I hope some of the younger fans have watched some his game tape. 

If there is anyone who can spot a baller from a mile away, it’s Dan. 

There’s no questioning what this franchise means to him

Some people just want to get the attention of a celebrity and feel zero empathy for that player's feelings or personal space.  My dad was lifelong friends with some big names in football (Roman Gabriel, Dan Reeves) and baseball (Pete Rose and Tommy Helms of the Reds) and I learned very young that they are people doing a job and really want to be treated like everyone else.  So when I see a celebrity in public who is flying under the radar, I try not to bring attention to myself or them--I might wave if we make eye contact but that is about it. 

Flashback

In Washington DC (Georgetown) I was eating at a restaurant with my then fiance (she dumped me later--still hurts) and at the end of the dinner, I whispered to her, "Do not look back until we are getting up to leave, but do you know who has been sitting behind you for about 15 minutes?"  She said, "No.  Who?"  I stood to leave, so she turned around while picking up her purse, saw him, and turned back around to look at me with a shocked facial expression.  It was Billy Crystal.  I put my finger over my lips to keep her quiet, but she turned toward him and said, "You look Marvelous!! (one of his famous lines) and proceeded to tell him that her favorite movie is The Princess Bride, a film Crystal had a small part in as Miracle Max.  Grabbing her upper arms from behind, I looked at Crystal sympathetically and he cracked a faint grin--and I gently pulled her toward the exit.  She was mad at me for not telling her sooner and said that I embarrassed her by pulling her away.  I told her "You had already embarrassed yourself.  I was just doing some damage control."  I knew that she had exposed him, and how much he was valuing his anonymity until she sounded the trumpets.

Morgan, Mills, Keuchley, Beason--all within the first 25 years of the team's existence--we have been spoiled by great MLB play.

First of all, loved this video. I watched last night.  

I normally not one to do, I told you so's,,,,,

Most around here hated the fact Dan Morgan was promoted to GM.  In my eyes, he had paid his dues, and had earned the opportunity to run a team. 

I dont know how anybody can be against him at this point.  He lives and breathes football.  He absolutely is the right man for the job.  I also have to give him credit for bringing Dace C, and Tillis. 

This franchise has the best front office it has ever had, IMO. 

And under Teppers ownership.  

 

Keep pounding Dan.

in the video, he referred to himself as a "former Carolina Panther"

he left out the "player, on the field" portion of that sentence. Once a Panther, ALWAYS a Panther (well, some exceptions may apply)

Didn’t catch that one. Hmmmm…

From just a couple videos, Dan seems to be big on nuance. 

In the draft video, he commented when Tmac said he “would get the chance to play here.” How he said what he said made an impression on Dan. 

He comes off as a pretty deep dude in these videos, in true southpaw style.

I also think it went well for Tepper who appeared to let his people do their jobs
