PANTHERS TRIVIA
--
Quarterback Bobby Hebert would go on to continue his career in the NFL as a member of his hometown team, the New Orleans Saints.
--
1983 sixth round draft choice Ken Lacy signed with the Panthers to a two-year contract, after which he signed a substantially more lucrative deal with the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs.
--
After five weeks of the 1983 regular season, Panthers owner A. Alfred Taubman opened up his wallet and signed a number of veteran players that helped propel his team to the USFL Championship. 
--
Unfortunately, they also helped propel the Panthers toward the largest financial losses in the USFL for 1983, a reported $6 million.
--
By contrast, in David Dixon's conception of the league, he anticipated teams losing roughly $1 million in the first year.
