Captain Munnerlyn felt like he had just helped stick a fork in his former team. “After we beat them,” Munnerlyn said, remembering the Vikings’ 31-13 victory that sent the 2014 Panthers to a sixth consecutive loss, “after we beat them, I was talking junk to TD and Charles Johnson.” But the...

“That’s a big deal,” said Cam Newton, the quarterback who delivered an overwhelming majority of the pass to Olsen during his prolific run. “That’s Hall of Fame caliber stuff.” The difficulty of Olsen’s accomplishment came even more clearly into focus early in the 2017 season, when in Week 2 he...

THE SKINNY: All eyes are on Cam Newton as he returns from offseason shoulder surgery. Shoulder problems caused him to miss the last two games of the 2018 season, after he started the year on a torrid pace for completion percentage and accuracy. WHAT WORKED IN 2018: When Newton was healthy, the...

“We go out, week in and week out, and we compete hard as a team,” linebacker Thomas Davis said after the Panthers added another chapter to a record-setting season by improving to 11-0. “That’s the reason we are where we are.” The Panthers’ home for the holidays was Arlington, Texas, the Dallas...

The song Cam Newton plays through the speakers at practice. And the song used to end the episode. The song Greg Olsen hilariously sings for teammates in the QB meeting room. The song every Panthers fan is familiar with. The song you hear as the Panthers arrive for the game against Atlanta...

"And that's Greg. That's the way he's been every day since I've been here, and everything he said is the absolute truth." The same was true the previous two seasons as well, even as Olsen battled through adversity off the field while his son, TJ, fought to overcome serious health issues after...

In the debut episode of the "Cann Cam," Caroline takes you inside the equipment room, locker room and weight room as the Panthers prepare to take the shown on the road to Spartanburg for training camp. We first get to meet Don Toner, Carolina's equipment man and the "OG" from the team's first...

"It's not always about the gamble of going for it on fourth down," Rivera said. "It's also about the gamble of saying, 'Hey, we're not going to go for it here. We're going to count on you guys (on defense) to hold them.'" Linebacker Luke Kuechly said Rivera's gambling ways had a positive...

“We can dance next,” Tepper said. This is the Carolina Panthers, ladies and gentlemen. “We’re not supposed to be fans of the teams we cover, but it’s impossible with these guys. I haven’t said that about other teams,” said the senior director Trout, before Newton did a kissy face to make the...

Directing Donte Cornerback Donte Jackson had his fair share of highs in 2018. He also had some lows. Such is life as a rookie. Jackson was off to a great start with three interceptions in his first three games. But splash plays don’t always tell the whole story. Ahead of the Thursday Night...

"I think what was very fortunate for me coming in was that I had (Jon Beason) here and Thomas (Davis), and Jordan Senn was in the locker right next to me," Kuechly said. "So I had a lot of older, veteran guys around me who were very beneficial to me developing. If I didn't have those guys early...

Still, I do have a couple of quibbles. While the build-up of Jackson's matchup with Antonio Brown before the Steelers game showed the rookie bristling at coaching and veteran advice, it felt like there was a bit too much blame placed on his shoulders for what happened in that blowout loss. And...

About the only one who didn't seem all that surprised by Newton's remarkable rookie season was, well, Newton himself. "I don't think anyone's expectations of me will ever be as high as mine," Newton said. "I'm not surprised by anything I do. The only time I'm surprised is when I don't play to...

The NFL Draft is the lifeblood of roster building, but evaluating talent for the draft has been aptly described as an inexact science. Still, the Panthers have had their share of success over the course of their 25 drafts. In honor of the Panthers' Silver Season, here’s a look at the 25 best...

THE SKINNY: Tampa Bay's offensive line was healthy and durable in 2018, with the first unit making a combined 79 of 80 starts together. WHAT WORKED IN 2018: When you can allow a passing offense to lead the league with 5,358 yards, you're doing something right. The Bucs did allow 41 sacks...

Compared to the two longer attempts earlier in the game, this one was easy - or at least Kasay made it look that way. His boot from 37 yards away split the uprights with 39 seconds left and sealed Carolina's 23-20 win. After the game, most reporters swarmed to the lockers of players who had...

Mike Maser, a respected offensive line coach with over three decades of experience at the college and pro level, passed away at the age of 72. Maser coached the Panthers’ offensive line from 2003-06, a time in which the franchise made its first Super Bowl appearance (2003) and advanced to...

"That whole year, for a running back, seemed special from the start to the finish," Stewart said. "You had a lot of faith in what was going on that year in the running game. You could feel that everyone knew we were hitting on all cylinders, whether it was you, the fullback, the offensive line...
