I thought this deserved it's own thread in the Carolina forum due to little activity here.
DD Comment: On small school old time player Bucky Pope of Catawba College:
Every time I see anything about Catawba football I think about that Bucky Pope story -- snubbed small school star, who turned into a potential N.F.L. mega-star as a rookie in 1964, but saw his career quicky destroyed by a knee injury. Closest thing we can think of in recent memory is Patrick Jeffers. But he wasn't a rookie...
In recent years the Panthers have had as many as 9 white starters (2006) and as many as 23 white players on their roster (2005), but in 2008 they are just another overwhelmingly black NFL team.
Carolina has joined the list of teams that remain enamored of underachieving, slow-footed, sumo-sized black offensive linemen. There are two very solid white starters in LT Jordan Gross, the former number one draft pick now in his 6th season out of Utah; and C Ryan Kalil, the second round selection...
Nick is getting a chance to step in for an injured 345 pounder Kemoeatu. Let's hope he gets the gig and proves you do not have to be a road block in order to be a succesful defensive tackle.
FYI, for all CF's. Did any of you Pennsylvania CF's know and I'm sure you did, 6'2; 231lb., Carolina Panthers LB Dan Connor rushed for 4,556 yds for 7.2 yd avg. and 77 TD's. His Senior year he rushed for 1807 yds. and 28 TD's.
Another I guess they found something about Connor that wasn't good enough to run the ball for Penn St.?
Looks like he could have been a Peyton Hillis type to me?
They had another incredibly-weak Draft. It looks like their ebony dream team will be horrible for the next few years.
When the Cam Newton/Josh Freeman "battles" begin (I can't wait!), I might just have to support Tampa.. that's how fed up I am with the Carolina Black Panthers!
I found this 12 second clip of an 88 yard TD reception by Patrick Jeffers during his great 1999 season with the Panthers. Even though it was only 13 years ago, apparently there are no highlights of Jeffers other than this one, which was just posted on YouTube in July.
In a age where most black WRs try to take all the credit for their success and only bring up the QB if they are not doing well Steve Smith surprised me.During a interview he actually said that sCam was only the 3rd best QB he had played with.
Cam Newton will be going to the Pro-bowl. Reminds me of another quarterback who was hand-picked for the pro-bowl in his rookie year - Vince Young. The year Vince Young went to the pro-bowl he accomplished a 66 QB rating with 12 TD and 13 INT's. (Nope, no agenda here.)
Beason going on IR should finally open up the middle linebacking job for superstar in the making Luke Kuechly.
Panthers placed MLB Jon Beason on injured reserve with a knee injury, ending his season.
He needs knee and shoulder surgeries. Signed to a six-year, $51.338 million extension in July 2011, Beason will finish 2011-12 having appeared in just five games. Still only 27, Beason should be ready for camp next summer, but coming off Achilles and knee injuries, it's quite...
As we've mentioned in other threads, Lovie Smith and the Bears would be complete idiots not to use the big play abilities of Greg Olsen, who has the size of a tight end but the speed of a wide receiver. But the Bears signed Desmond Clark to a contract extension in the offseason and Clark remains the official starter though unofficially Olsen and Clark are co-starters. Never underestimate the ability of any and all NFL teams to underutilize white talent. At least Olsen is referred to as a...
Jordan Gross - one of the best LTs in the game over the past decade has decided to retire. Hopefully some sumo will replace him and let scam get destroyed.
WR Charly Martin's chances to make the team for a second year just got a leg up with Wallace Wright going on IR. The team looks to have maybe 7 starters, and as they play two games against the Buccaneers, and the increasingly white unfriendly Saints, they are a team somewhat worthy of support for CFer's if only because their divisional opponents are so much less white friendly. Defensive players Jordan Senn, Aaron Francisco, and Nick Hayden are all said to be on the bubble, hopefully at...
He is listed as a defensive back which is a generic term for either a cornerback or safety. Considering the other defensive backs on the team are 180 and 185 pounds does that make him a reserve cornerback or a swing defensive back? Feel free to comment..
Top 5 NFL linebacker already! The sole bright spot on the panthers awful majority black defense lol. White men make up 3 out of the top 5 best linebackers in the NFL! Yes you read that right, in a league that is 80 percent black or higher lol, White men have fought their way back to become elite linebackers in the NFL (once again!). Has anyone noticed that every safety and cornerback in the league are horrendous (and please don't be an idiot and think just because a cornerback has 5...
i thought he deserves his own thread. one of the best defensive ends in the league, he's not only a premiere pass rusher but also a good vs the run. he's only 25, and already is in his 4th season with 35.5 sacks to his name.
after missing first two games of the 2007 season, he showed just how good he is: league high 8 sacks!...
