Brian Answers: Let’s dive down into Panthers history with your questions this week!

Come see all the answers to YOUR fan questions from this week.

Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! We got a lot of diversity in the questions this week, which I think will keep us going throughout the off-season. Just as a recap, this mailbag is intended for you to get all your burning questions off your chest every week, whether they be Panthers related, football related, or even completely off topic! Join us next week with your answers in the comments of “Brian Asks” early on in the week.

Let’s dive right in!

@WTMealey: question 1

can we still come with meaningful questions every week until training camp?

My lame attempt to come up with a question I actually care about the answer

If Derrick Brown had not gotten hurt where do you think the Panthers Defense finishes?

Is there a game/play you can point to and say if we had DB that doesn’t happen and we would have had one more win

1. I think we can! The mailbag has maintained momentum every week since we started it last year. This is part of why I encourage off-topic questions however, because the football Offseason hits a sluggish pace in the early summer months.
2. I think the Panthers might have gotten a win over the Chiefs in week 12 or the Bucs in week 13 had Derrick Brown been in the picture. I still think their defense would have been bottom of the barrel in most categories, but DB would have probably elevated the front seven a bit just with his presence. But I think not having him around showed everyone this defense needed an injection of talent along the front seven, with or without him.

Good_Ol_Boy: Summer is coming:

What’s the hottest (temperature wise) place you’ve ever been? How hot was it?

I was in high school in Kentucky in 2007, part of the football team. I can’t remember an exact date, but that was one of the hottest summers in that state’s history. Those double sessions and practices under the sun were the absolute worst I can remember. Louisville set 12 record warm temperatures in August.

I’ll give some answers along with explanations;

1. Cam Newton-Cam became a Panthers a year or so before I joined CSR as a member of the community and as a member of the writing staff. So for me, Cam’s journey in the NFL will always hold a special place in my heart simply because I saw just how good this guy was, and was out there expressing my opinion of him early in his career when the Skip Baylesses of the world were saying they’d rather have Tim Tebow as a quarterback. There was a kind of personal connection to his success as someone...
