It's a good sign for sure. I'm not sure the darkest days are over just yet.  But maybe, just maybe this is the beginning of something to build on that has grown organically from within. Only time will tell.

It's always darkest before the dawn

But culture and camaraderie can't be underestimated.  I dunno how many dream teams, big free agent signees, and just totally loaded teams ive seen completely implode bc of the clash of personalities and lack of of buy in and leadership 

talent is great but leadership is just as important

I’m telling y’all, I’m buying more and more in to the hiring of Morgan as the GM. Every player in that locker room knows that Dan was that dude on the football field.  He’s a Panthers old head. Double OG.

When he walks in that locker room, you know those men listen. I really think they are beginning to buy in to what he is trying to do…. Rebuild Panthers culture. He can relate to guys that no x and o GM ever could. He’s one of them and played in one of the best SB of all time. 

This season they’ve gone from being completely unwatchable to actually competing with big dogs. It’s fun.

It's too early to say for cetain but overall team culture may be the biggest contribution Canales has brought here. When he talked about Brooks reinjuring his ACL, he kept going back to the mental aspect of it. The thing with adversity is that overcoming it is more than just rehabbing, workouts, reps and studying. There's also having the motivation to keep pushing on despite how difficult it may be with injuries, mistakes and losses. At least to me, this unit is playing a lot more like an actual team supporting each other rather than a collection of individuals who just so happen to work together. 

Whether we can sustain this is going to be the question, but I would hope the team as a whole understands that it's starting to get noticed by everyone. Please keep this up.

Changing the culture was always going to be the hard part.  Usually the wins have to come first, but this is a sign that they’re truly buying in and that’s nothing to scoff at.

This could be a much bigger deal than most are willing to admit.  Maybe, just maybe, the darkest days are behind us.

This needs to happen quicker, I'm not getting any younger.

      I know most of y'all want defense but currently at pick 4...

      At some point you have to realize you are truly going overboard with your Analysis on Tmac.. No he is not better then Higgins or close to the player Higgins is because reality is one is a proven Pro bowl player and 1 hasn’t play 1 down of pro football…  I’m debating your opinion based on fictions and projections.. You love the guy cool hope he becomes The Randy Moss you think he is..  I still rather pay the money for a proven vet and draft defense which is the strength of this draft.. jmo

      XL on the St. Brown podcast

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      I'm in SC and currently these days I'm mostly eating a 28 year old 5'4 120 pound black haired product from NC. It's good eating but it does come with some extra hassles and drama in the kitchen some days which makes me consider changing my menu up at times for a more simple meal.

      uh, where to begin XL will never be the player T-Mac will be, so not taking him because we have XL and would need contracts around the same time would be an asinine reason to not draft a player of T-Mac's potential You talk about how rookies need time to develop, well rookies on the defensive side of the ball usually take longer to develop than elite WR prospects, so going back to your other post about drafting defense and spending the cap on a WR, it's just backwards for who will be more ready to contribute from day one. And no, paying Higgins doesn't help Bryce more, as T-Mac is already equally as good as him, if not already better.  And Higgins doesn't have T-Mac's hands, in fact, not many current NFL WR's do, he has vice grips covered in glue for hands. But more importantly, to your point about Higgins doing everything T-Mac can do but faster... uh, Higgins ran a 4.59, he's not a speedster, I would bet my bottom dollar that T-Mac runs a sub 4.5 40 at the combine.  You seem to think he's just a contested catch guy, but he's not, he is regularly used in the screen and short crossing route game because he is actually really good after the catch. I again go back to, if these are your opinions of T-Mac, it means you haven't watched enough of him.   Even if you want defense over WR, that's a much more fair argument, but your comparison of him to Higgins and thinking paying Higgins 30 million a year instead of drafting T-Mac is smarter, just makes no sense (and that's before even factoring in Higgins injury history).
