Panthers - Team History
Carolina Panthers, professional football team and one of five teams
in the Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC)
of the National Football League (NFL). Under the league’s realignment
plan, which will take affect in 2002, the Panthers will play in the
South Division of the NFC. The Panthers play at Ericsson Stadium in
Charlotte, North Carolina, and wear uniforms of black, blue, and silver.
During the 1996 season
the Panthers won their division and qualified for the playoffs.
It was only their second year of existence, and this was the earliest
an NFL expansion team had ever encountered such success. During
the previous year, the team won seven games—the most ever
by an NFL expansion team.
In 1993 Panthers founder
and owner Jerry Richardson was awarded the first new NFL franchise
since 1976, when the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers had
joined the league. Two years later, Carolina and fellow expansion
team Jacksonville Jaguars began play. Former Pittsburgh Steelers
assistant coach Dom Capers was named the Panthers’ first head
coach.
After losing the first
5 games of the 1995 season, Carolina won 7 of its last 11 games
behind wide receivers Mark Carrier and Willie Green. During the
season the Panthers defeated the San Francisco 49ers to become the
first expansion team ever to beat a defending league champion.
In 1996 the Panthers
stunned the NFL by winning 12 games and capturing the NFC Western
Division title. Quarterback Kerry Collins and running back Anthony
Johnson anchored the offense. Carolina put together the second-best
defense in the NFC, featuring three Pro Bowl linebackers: Kevin
Greene, Lamar Lathon, and Sam Mills. Michael Bates was the league’s
top kickoff returner, averaging 30.2 yards per return. Placekicker
John Kasay led the league in scoring, converting on a league-record
37 field goals. Capers was named coach of the year. After capturing
the division title, Carolina defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the
playoffs before losing the NFC Championship Game to the eventual
Super Bowl champions, the Green Bay Packers.
The franchise experienced
its worst year ever in 2001 when it went 1-15 and lost 15 consecutive
games, an NFL record. A turnaround came quickly, however. In 2003,
under head coach John Fox, the team finished the regular season
11-5 and qualified for the playoffs as the winner of the NFC’s
South Division. During the regular season and in the playoffs, the
Panthers won several come-from-behind games. They advanced to Super
Bowl XXXVIII and appeared on the verge of another comeback when
they tied the New England Patriots with about one minute left to
play. The Patriots kicked a field goal with about four seconds left
and won the game in one of the most dramatic finishes in Super Bowl
history.
2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII
Lost to New England Patriots, 32-29
<p>Entering the final season of a five-year contract, DeAngelo Williams would like nothing more than to sign a long-term extension. But he knows that isn't likely to happen right now given the current NFL landscape.</p>
<p>The Panthers still aren't giving out contract extensions, due in large part to owner Jerry Richardson's direct involvement in CBA negotiations with the players union.</p>
<p>Richardson doesn't want to send the wrong message to fellow owners, so he isn't spending money.</p>
<p>Williams is set to make $2.1 million this season, which is low for a guy who has run for 2,632 yards and 25 touchdowns in his past 29 starts and earned Pro Bowl honors last year. But he knows his payday will come at some point.</p> <p>"My whole thing is I signed a five-year contract here and if the...
If Jimmy Clausen indeed becomes Carolina's franchise quarterback, it'll be after overcoming a humble beginning to his professional career. Three months after his draft weekend snub, a nervous Clausen fumbled a couple of snaps early in his first workout of training camp with the Panthers on Thursday, before laboring in the intense heat in his new role: third-stringer.

The familiar sights were missing on Wednesday morning as 80 mostly young guys reported for the start of Carolina Panthers training camp. There was no wondering which side door Julius Peppers might try to sneak through to avoid reporters outside the dormitory. The star defensive end is in Chicago now. Jake Delhomme didn't walk up with his familiar smile and trash bag draped over his shoulder.
BEREA, Ohio - Mike Holmgren is excited about the Cleveland Browns — even if he is starting his first season as team president with his right leg in a cast.
NFL preseason capsules as training camps open: AFC EAST BUFFALO BILLS (6-10) OPEN CAMP: July 29 LAST YEAR: Popgun offense that Terrell Owens couldn't spark, instability at quarterback and inability to stop the run conspired to prompt yet another coaching change (Dick Jauron fired after 3-6 start) as bumbling Bills celebrated their 50th year by capping a decade of ineptitude and missing...

As Andy Reid visited with injured soldiers in a hospital at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles couldn't get over how eager they were to return to action. "You see guys in there, some of them missing limbs and some pretty beat up," Reid said. "These guys couldn't wait to go back out there, if they could, and fight to protect our country.
