Not the most Panther related - but he played for us for like 2 seasons and it’s the offseason so fug it. With all the talk you see today about selfish players and guys being divas I think this guy deserves some praise.

have the most random memory of a game I went to at Arizona in 2009 (whole season was blur because it was such a letdown) all I can remember is some guy in a baseball cap and a tshirt being incredibly animated and incredibly encouraging after almost every play - whether we were on offense or defense. Someone would make a mistake and he was the first one to go over to them and talk with him. As the game went on I realized it was Josh McCown. Wasnt even dressed for the game, but you could tell how much he loved just being on the sideline and supporting his team. For whatever reason that memory has just always stuck with me even after 10 years. He wasnt just there to hold a clipboard and sit on the sidelines eating sunflower seeds, he genuinely was there to help his team any way he could.  

The guy bounced around to a new team to every year and never complained, just went out and made the best out of his situation. Even when he would come in for a few games and outplay the starter (Cutler and Jameis were a couple of them) he never created controversy and just went out and tried to help his team win games. Always thought that was cool. Congrats on a 17 year career McCown, they dont make guys that love the game like you do very often anymore

He recently did a Panthers rookie mentorship lunch with Will Grier along with some other former Panthers vets. I know the article about his retirement said he’s going into broadcasting, but it wouldn’t surprise me if maybe he had a role with the Panthers down the line. I think he still lives in the Charlotte area

Josh McCown carved out a very successful career for himself, and was a great teammate, mentor, and all-around person everywhere he was according to those who played with him, coached him, or covered him in the media.

And made quite a few millions in the process while getting to retire before 40 and from all indications in great health.  He pretty much has won at life up until this point.

Hope he enjoys his retirement and continues to contribute to the Charlotte area.

He does, his son Owen backs up Drake Maye (son of Mark, brother of Luke) at Myers Park.

Moose’s, Shawn King’s, Dre Bly’s, Deems May’s, and Tim Newman’s sons are also on the team.

Lots of NFL connections.

If you didn't know they lost the main power supply for the most important position that sound like a scary team.

We always hear about the screw-ups, the abusers and the idiots. They make national headlines and people talk about them non-stop. 

Rarely does a story like Josh’s make more than a blip on the radar screen. He kept his head down, didn’t cause problems and was always available to help a guy with football or anything else. Truly a first class guy. Wish him nothing but the best going forward.

Sounds like you're missing Game of Thrones.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
