Team Name and Mascot to Change: Carolina Muskrats?


Recommended Posts

I know it sounds insane, but I heard through a pretty good source that this is a possibility.

At first I thought, "No way." After all, muskrats probably exist toward our coast, but by no means are the Carolinas known for this rodent. But then that's true of panthers too, right?

Then I learned, via Wikipedia, that muskrats often consist of "male and female pair and their young." I think that displays the family values and high character that Jerry Richardson looks for in a person -- and a rodent.

Plus, they can be pretty fierce for their size.

I had grown to love the Panthers, but I'm thinking I can grow to love the Carolina Muskrats as well.

I think your source is mixing up the Carolina Panthers and the Charlotte Bobcats. With Jordan buying the team he is thinking about changing the name and mascot. But I'm guessing you already knew this and this was all a joke.

Now that you mention it, I do remember the source singing the new fight song.

It was something like, "Tic tac, muskrats back -- something, something Muskratsketball!"

You might be right.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
