Year of the Cat is a must-read for Panthers fans. Scott Fowler and Charles Chandler do a great job providing a detailed, behind-the-scenes look at Carolina’s success. -- Joe Gibbs, three-time Super Bowl winner and current Washington Redskins coach If you like pro football, if you like the Carolina Panthers, and if you like good reporting, you’ll like this book very much. – John Feinstein, best-selling author of numerous sports books including "A Season on the Brink" and "A Good Walk Spoiled" The book’s greatest strength shows the role ego plays among top athletes. Some are openly cocky, like linebacker Lamar Lathon and quarterback Kerry Collins, while the authors maintain that others cloak their hubris behind a show of introversion or religiously-inspired humility. But there lies a key to the Panthers' success: they submerged their egotism for the good of the team, stress the authors. Their unusual take will give fans an interesting read. – Publishers Weekly. Even the most rabid Panthers fan will find things he didn’t know. From team-meeting revelations to Dom Capers’s pre-playoff game speech to a key player’s hidden problem, Year of the Cat gives a terrific inside look at one of the NFL’s rising-star teams. – Peter King, Sports Illustrated
