We actually got a brief shout out on First Take

[caatfan]

Deep inside, a lot of people respect this panther team. They may not think of us as world beaters but no team mark us as a win on their calendar.

No 'team' tabs any game as a win (if they do they keep it to themselves), but people do. It's called making a pick, and quite a few people are marking us down for more losses than wins or certainly fewer wins than last year. They're buying the story that we're weaker on the OL, at WR, and the DB. The Sept. schedule should determine our real level of respect.

Of course Nelly loves Carolina. The Greg Hardy trial was the first time that he's been mentioned in years.

Also the only reason he agreed to go on First Take

When the Broncos, Seattle, and 9ers, for example, see the Jags on their schedule, I can assure you they mark that as a win.

And I can also assure you, just as I said, that they keep those opinions to themselves. A player might pop off some bulletin board material, but you don't see it coming from management.
