Panthers Are First Purple Heart Team

 As a longtime Panthers fan and long-ago recipient of the prestigious Purple Heart, Mike Stubbs is overwhelmed by the way the Panthers have reached out to military in the region.

"They just do an incredible job," Stubbs said. "They make sure the veterans are seen and respected."

Tuesday, Stubbs and four fellow Purple Heart veterans bestowed a humbling honor upon the Panthers, designating the organization as the first to be recognized as an NFL Purple Heart team.

"I attend a lot of the games, and I see what you do. It's amazing what you give," Stubbs said as he presented the Panthers with a Special Recognition Award from the Military Order of the Purple Heart. "We think it's time somebody gave something back to the Panthers."

The Panthers will present an official proclamation honoring the Military Order of the Purple Heart as a part of the NFL's annual "Salute to Service" program when the New England Patriots visit on Nov. 18.

But the relationship between the Panthers and the military isn't a once-a-year thing. The "Row of Honor" in the Bank of America Stadium stands is a part of every home game and always includes a Purple Heart recipient, and team personnel make multiple trips throughout the year to military bases in North and South Carolina.

"We have several military installations here, and a lot of retirees here are military," said head coach Ron Rivera, who grew up in a military family. "We have such a good relationship with the military."

    • you see though, heres the thing.  Bryce is out of runway.  At the end of the year there are literally only 3 options.   1. extend him 2. Pick up the 5th essentially tying him to us for 2 more years 3. trading him   thats it, so his tiny ass nice to put it in gear because he is out of time
    • Some interesting tidbits in this one... https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/panthers-rookie-wr-tetairoa-mcmillan-historic-start He has 129 yards on "downfield passes" through two games, the next most any rookie has this year is 55 yards. Fastest a Panther has reached 100 receiving yards in a game, doing it in his 2nd game, KB and CMC previously were tied having done it in their 3rd games. Most catches by a Panther in their first two games with 11, previously it was Moose and CMC with 9. Most yards by a Panther in their first two games with 168, previously it was KB with 138.
    • A small way to help Young next week is to bench Legette. Brycen Tremayne needs to be the starter but I'm sure it won't happen. There's no player accountability from the coaches. We would have been better off if XL never saw the field yesterday.
