The Panther Mascot Appreciation Thread


OneBadassCat

Recommended Posts

So obviously Sur Purr is kind of lame but I think it's pretty hard to argue that we don't have the best the mascot/color scheme/uniforms in the NFL.

I mean how can you top a Panther? Fast, sleek, strong, and ferocious. It can't be coincidence that the characteristics of a panther happen to be the attributes of what every great NFL player should be. Also, way back in the day panthers and jaguars used to roam the Carolinas. Mr. Richardson and Co really hit the nail on the head with "the Panthers". I believe it to be a timeless mascot, it couldn't have been better.

I had the opportunity to work with big cats about a year and a half ago and I've seen a panther in person. They were easily the scariest and most ferocious cat in the sanctuary. Topping both lions and tigers in meanness. They are seriously badass motherfu**ers. We should be grateful imo, we lucked out.

Nope, Panthers are not a 'species' and are just a color (skin color) of the cats said mainly Jaguars/Leopards, MAYBE cougars (never recorded) even Bobcats that are black are called them I think etc. Panther is just a word. You can tell because some are really small and some are fuging huge, bigger than a lion, and they all look different and have different degrees of pigmentation. Basically just black cats of different species, or perhaps a mutt species from a type of domestication (see video) but the blackness is very rare and they seem to have a different 'majestic' personality and are rarely seen.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks. 
    • They both outstanding players and both had monster games against Jets.  We gonna need it again this week with the bills.  Go Panthers!!!!
