Sad day for football fans we lost great football player Kevin Green Rest in peace

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for commenting. Kevin Greene was a great and memorable player. I like the name: Blue lightning Wolf 85. Thanks again for watching and commenting: Happy Holidays.

That 1996 defense and special teams was amazing

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

I really liked that '96 D. I was a Lamar Lathon fan. Carolina, the team that introduced me and made the zone blitz popular. Thanks for watching the video.

[@Fireyninjadog]

​​@@90sSportsNostalgiamicheal bates, winslow oliver, ron starke, and john kasey were on special teams. Impressive. And that linebacking corpe of lathon, kevin greene, and sam mills was phenomenal

[@ECUCHRIS904]

Great video. I love the 49er angle. I was a 49ers fan before the Panthers came to town and beating them made the transition to the hometeam much easier.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much. I appreciate your comment greatly. I couldn't stand the 49ers because they were so good but I respected them a lot. I am going to do a follow up video because there is so much more I want to say like how good Kerry Collins was in that 2nd game against SF. As a kid, it was something for me to see this expansion team beating this team that had such great success for a decade and a half. Thanks again for the comment. Hopefully CAR will get back to the playoffs soon. Happy Holidays.

[@chrishuss1565]

Loved watching this! Huge trip down memory lane. If you have the time and desire, an overview of the 2000's Panthers would be really exciting as well.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much. Reading your comment was a great way to kick off the 2021 year. I hope to get to it (Panthers in the 2000s). I don't want to make any promises. I have been wanting to do the Detroit Lions in the 2000s but maybe I will do the Panthers. The Panthers franchise is interesting. John Fox was a solid coach. Have a great 2021. Enjoy the rest of the NFL season.

Great video. Sam Mills went to my high school in NJ

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment. I'm glad you liked it. That means a lot to me. Much love to Sam Mills and to New Jersey. That's cool you went to the same high school. Enjoy the weekend, and enjoy the Week 14 NFL games. Thanks again.

[@Sports101YT]

Just found your channel and loved the video. I'm a young Panthers fans and don't know a lot about the panthers history in the 90s and early 2000s and I learned a lot about the franchise from this amazing video keep up the great work.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for you comment. It made my day. I greatly appreciate it. I hope you have an entertaining 2021 watching the Panthers. Thanks again and take care.

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

The Panthers loaded up on veterans in free agency in their first few years and focused on winning right away because they had to build a fanbase FAST in a region where people had many other loyalties at the time (49ers, Steelers, Cowboys, Raiders, Washington, etc.)

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

You know that is interesting about the comment trying to quickly develop a fanbase, is that can kind of be a problem with some expansion teams because the fans in that area already have their teams and it takes time hoping for the generations later will make the fanbase stronger. Once again, thanks for the comment.

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

@@90sSportsNostalgia Oh yeah that’s a huge problem…and being terrible for years doesn’t help either (see the Cardinals in Arizona from the late 80s to mid-2000s)

Kerry Collins was very talented

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Kerry had such a violent throwing motion as he would whip ball back then release it. I would try to copy it at times when playing catch. He had an interesting career. More to come about him if I get to my Saints in the '90s video. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.

[@Fireyninjadog]

The 1998 season was an absolute disaster. Carolina had a decent at best offense under steve beurlein, but their defense was horrendous. They couldn't stop the pass, or run. 1998 exposed Dom capers as a below average head coach

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

That '98 season seemed more disastrous than the 1-15, 2001 season, because things fell apart so quickly for Carolina after that 1996 season. Moreover, that incident with Kevin Greene and Kevin Steele made things look worse along with Fred Lane being suspended for his celebration. Thanks again for your comment. I enjoyed reading it.

[@Fireyninjadog]

The 0-7 start is still worst start in team history. I remember in a 30-14 loss at home to buffalo, the fans put bags on their heads ​@90sSportsNostalgia

[@coreylineberry8557]

What's notable is that the Panthers would be represented really well in the world of Professional Wrestling. Specifically in WCW, you had Kevin Greene (RIP) main-eventing PPVs against Hulk Hogan, and the very first release by the Panthers only turned out to be Bill Goldberg, who was the top guy in WCW in 1998-99.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Your wrestling knowledge is far better than mine. I really enjoyed reading this comment and as it was an interesting read. Thank you so much for the comment.

[@frankguidera6828]

Collins could have been a great one

[@terucks]

Panthers off field dysfunction really screwed up Carolinas potential success until the John Fox era

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Ter E Rucks, thank you so much for commenting and watching the video. Also, thank you so much for being a subscriber. Carolina has an interesting decade in the '90s.

[@sickofguysnamedtodd2293]

Yeah it did. Rae Carruth, Kerry Collins, Rashard Anderson, Todd Sauerbrun, Fred Lane. That’s why Carolina was never a team in the running for guys like TO, Randy Moss and others in later years when those guys became a available for wearing out their welcomes elsewhere because Jerry Richardson placed an emphasis on guys with good character over talent. The Rae Carruth scandal really rocked the team and the region because up until the Cam Newton, Thomas Davis, Steve Smith, Luke Kuechly years that’s mostly what they were known for.

[@trentwakulchik3619]

Rip Kevin Greene

[@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654]

Where is Steve Beuerline?

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thanks for spending time watching the video. If you're talking about where is Steve Beuerlein in the thumbnail, you know what, I probably should have put him in the thumbnail. But with all due respect, I'm almost certain I talked about Beuerlein in the video (near the end because it was 1999) and his tremendous 1999 season as that Panthers offense was tough. But perhaps I should have talked about him more as that's on me. But Beuerlein was awesome in 1999. Thanks again, enjoy the upcoming football season.

[@2funnyrockrs]

Sam Mills is the best panther to play. Gotta love the motto also. KEEP. POUNDING.

[@chrisbreezy3048]

As a longtime Panthers fan, revisiting footage of that '96 team makes me long for something better than what the team is doing right now. S/N: the '95 Panthers are also the first and only NFL expansion team to defeat the reigning Super Bowl champions as they beat the Niners in San Fran that year, 10-7.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thanks for mentioning that info. I had no idea about that. That's a cool stat. I hope your Panthers get better. Thanks again. Try to enjoy the rest of the 2023 NFL season.

Toronto Blue Jays of the 90s, please ? 🙂

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Very interesting choice coming from a Yankees fan. You know what, I was going to a little something different by looking at how unique the 1993 batting order was set up in comparison to how line-ups are nowadays. Thank you so much for the recommendation. I don't want to make any promises as it took me longer to come through on a couple of other recommendations to complete. Those Blue Jays were interesting in the '90s. I don't want to make any promises but I will certainly keep you in mind and I hope to possibly to start on it during baseball season. Take care and enjoy the holidays.

WR Mark Carrier FB Howard Griffith

Mark Carrier, very underrated. He had a 1400 yard season with the Bucs.

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

Mckyer was on the Panthers?

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

For 1 season. Then the Panthers got another former 49ers CB in Eric Davis. But when I think about Tim McKyer, the 49ers first come to mind.

[@frankguidera6828]

They had a lot to build off of I don't know what happened there?

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

As decent as that 99 Panthers team looked, I think they feasted on a weak division-remember that the NFC West was historically TERRIBLE that year!

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Perhaps that may be the case. As a Rams fan back then, I can attest to that. But the Saints and 49ers would quickly get better after '99. As always, thanks for the comment. I enjoy your comments a lot.

[@scott6828]

George Seifert would be in the Hall of Fame today if he hadn't taken the head coaching job in Carolina. Seifert held the highest winning percentage of any coach in NFL history until he coached the Panthers. George Seifert's Carolina Panthers went down in history as one of the worst teams to ever play in the league....his time in Carolina ended what was to be a certain Hall of Fame induction.

[@NICH0LASW0LFF]

I never understood why the Panthers were in the NFC West they should have been put in the East and the Cowboys should have moved over to the West

[@ogreman-lll-957]

I thought he called a Mexican player a slur

[@austin31bennett]

Sounds like, based on the Kerry's comment, he called someone a "nigga" (not hard-r) in an attempt to be one of the guys. But, race relations were atrocious back in the 90s and it was not well received. Unfortunate.

[@ogreman-lll-957]

@@austin31bennett I wonder if the LA riots in the early 90s if that was part of the reason why.
