In 2002, the Panthers defense was ranked 2nd behind the
Superbowl winning Bucs. In that same year our offense was ranked 30th. Does
this sound familiar? With a fearsome front 7 and spotty secondary Carolina
added a few pieces to the team, namely Delhomme and S.Davis. Carolina's
defensive line was its strength, along with linebackers Dan Morgan and Will
Witherspoon. As stated, the secondary wasn’t tremendously talented or manned by
household names. Guys like Terry Cousins,
Reggie Howard and Ricky Manning JR. found a way to get the job done, however.
Carolina had a secret weapon in 5'9" special teams player Steve Smith, who
turned out to be a bigger problem for opposing teams than his height. There's a
lot of comparisons to be made but none more important than the return to the
Superbowl. Go Panthers!!

This is a special post to the C3 crew. @Begasus26 was one of our first
supporters. Literally, I think he was
the second, only to @Sdanner52. We now
get to return the favor. So Panther fans
get your hands up and give a warm welcome to one of the most die hard +Carolina
Panthers out there.......Chocolate Wonderland!
