"He transitioned from the UFL to the NFL in 1986 to start at MLB for the New Orleans Saints. He is best known as the leader of the greatest linebacking corps of all-time, as voted by the nfl coaches and AP. He earned 5 pro bowls, 4 WITH THE SAINTS, and became the center of a defense that dominated every time he took the field. He will be sorely missed by his many fans. (Saints 1986-1994, Panthers 1995-1997) If he makes the HOF, it will be due to his prescience in New Orleans. To St. SAM MILLS!!!
even though sam mills is a linebacker, he inspires me to keep pushing for a scholarship to my favorite school, penn state as an undersized offensive lineman. he really does.....
Hate to tell you this, pal, but Mills' top numbers, along with the majority of his career, were produced in New Orleans as a Saint. In fact, a few years back, former NFL commissioner Roger Tagliabue said if Mills were ever inducted into Canton, his likeness (by painting) would be in a Saints uniform, not Carolina. I suspect that will happen one day, his going into Canton.
Did Sam pick #51 in honor of Butkus? Saw another vid (100 Toughest) where Sam points out Butkus to a teammate and remarks, "He was bad, man. He was nasty." Just wondering.
Long time Saint and now he is a Saint for real! RIP Sam Mills. We will never forget you were a part of The Dome Patrol of the late 80's and early 90's. We appreciate you helping make the Saints winners for the first time in their history. And now we are Champions thanks to people like you. Bless you Sam.
Who cares if Sam Mills was a Panther or a Saint, He was a great player for both teams and is missed very dearly. The man had heart and a desire to be the best. Now he is with our Lord RIP sam and mark. Go Panthers.
Sam Mills intercepted a pass and ran the ball 36 yards for a touchdown, on route to the team's first ever win! It was against the Jets in '95, when the club played at Clemson. Would love to see highlights on YouTube of that game or of that play. A great moment in team history.
@theguyisme1979 Hey, I don't care if Sam Mills goes in the HOF as a Saint or Panther. He was a great player, and should be in there. Plus, he was a damn good coach to boot. And for the record, I am neither a Saint or Panther fan; I am a Sam Mills fan.
As a Panther??? Maybe in Charlotte but not to the rest of the nation and NFL where everybody knows of him for playing only 3 years with the Panthers. He spent the majority of his career and formative years with New Orleans so just get used to it. Rod Woodson won a SuperBowl with the Ravens but do we look at him as a Raven, NO!!!!!! He's a Steeler and just as he's a Steeler, Sam Mills is a Saint if he's in the Hall.
yea right he chose carolina rather than the punk azz ain'ts that's why he went on after he retired to coach the panthers as a linebackers coach and also his son is with us he had a better relationship with us rather the aint's.
Newsflash jackass. He was forced out by free agency. The Saints were trying be younger( I admit it was a stupid move) on defense and he got the coaching job cause THEY OFFERED HIM THE JOB AND HE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A COACH!!!! YALL SOME UNGRATEFUL ASS FANS IN CAROLINA DAMN!!!! i CAN SEE WHY WE GOT A RING BEFORE YALL!!!!!
man fuck the ain't i don't care if they won the bowl they'll always be fuckin garbage and the panthers are better than every team in da league acording to me as a panthers fan, mr.mills could have coached anywhere to coach he could have gone back to coach yur gay ass team but no he chose his real home a home were we made a statue of him and retired his jersey.
Im not talking about class having anything to do with getting a ring. Im just asking for a serious answer to a hypothetical question regarding J. Peppers( who I think is the best Panther player ever) if he were to come over to New Orleans and mean the same to us as did Sam to Carolina. When I say be classy( just like San Deigo Ron Burgundy) it means no shit talking
Your response displays just how wacked out you really are. Its sooo funny how jealousy can make a person with nothing look like a fool. Where's your SuperBowl ring bitches???????? ohhh yeah NOWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol..I guess most of the Nation is wacked out.because they consider Sam a panther.Its you thats off buddy.And our ring will come.Plus we own the saints lol so dont talk too much.
And pigs will fly man. So lets just say Peppers were to sign with New Orleans( this is all hypothetical okay, don't pop a stitch and get all woman bitchy okay) and played 3 years for us, went to a Pro Bowl and we bronzed his ass outside our dome. Then became a coach for the Saints, would you say he should go into the Hall as a Saint????? Serious question, no B.S. Answer with some class too.
@theguyisme1979 fuck your fluke superbowl. took saints 43 years to get it. one of the softest superbowls i ever watched!!! end of the day, panthers own the saints.
@theguyisme1979 he didn't start a saint but he died a panther. he was a panther within the birth of the franchise. come to panthers stadium and check out his statue. he looks great in the panthers uniform. FUCK THE SAINTS
Same name as me like a boss
