What we had then, what we have now...

I literally almost turned the game off Sunday on that first fumble.  I keep saying it, but he literally looks like someone who just stepped into the field for the first time playing QB.  It reeks of someone who is trying way too hard to make something happen, but lacks the skills or ability to do it.  The number of times he has gotten squared up, jukes one way, jukes the other, and then it’s like his brain can only supply so much power to the physical before it shuts off mid-play and is like, “fug it, just let go of the ball” - I have never seen it happen to a player more than once, IF EVEN ONCE.  He does that poo multiple times a season for 3 seasons now.  It’s unreal.

2015 will always be my favorite season. Such a fun year. I’ll never forget being in Atlanta a week before the Super Bowl. Everyone was in panthers gear. The stores were selling panthers gear. Charlotte is sometimes referred to as baby Atlanta, but at that time, Charlotte was big brother. My baby girl was even created during that year.

Still can’t believe we didn’t create a dynasty with that team. I for sure thought it was coming, and then Gettleman got rid of Norman smh.

If only those guys grew on trees?

The 2015 team was really special.  That was such an incredible year until the Super Bowl.

What happened was the owner let the football people handle football decisions.  We had a front office that made some really good decisions.  Just hit on FAs and draft picks at a high level.  Those guys became GREAT players.  Our head coach held the team to a standard, but allowed them to be themselves.  That let so many of those guys grow into vocal leaders and tone setters.  Then we had Cam play lights out for the entire year.  We had a defense led by Luke, one of the best to ever play.  We had guys like Greg and TD who were so smart and tenacious.

That was a special team.  The biggest question is how do we bring that back?  We don't because we can't.  Instead, we need to build up the team again.  Bryce is not Cam, duh.  Maybe he's not even the guy next season.  But there are some dudes like DB, Horn, Chubba who are all high character, effort productive players.

As team, they need to lean into what they do well, and give Bryce his opportunities to prove himself.  If not, you keep building the best team and work on that QB.

I feel like we got to know those guys, I was definitely more invested in the team then. Watching videos and interviews. Players now are probably marketed just as much or more now but I can barely stomach watching the games, I'm not spending any time watching press conferences or any fluff videos the team puts out. Winning cures all and makes the fan base engage.

To be fair Cam had some lowlights as well, but boy did he have some extreme highlights starting with his first game in the league vs Arizona. BY9 on the other hand, oh wee mayne.
