Just a quick note to all local media outlets. Avoid writing any long winded articles revolving around Tim Tebow and the Carolina Panthers. This is completely lazy and uninteresting. Yes, The Panthers did speak with Tebow, along with every other team in the NFL. No, Tebow will not be drafted by the Panthers who have shown little interest in running QB’s who have no real position to play in the NFL. Tim Tebow is a slightly larger Eric Crouch, who was drafted and failed at QB, RB, and WR. Tebow is one of the greatest college players of all time, but useless in a league where 300 pound defensive linemen are every bit as fast as he is.
Now please provide us with decent Panthers coverage. Thanks in advance.

Jon Beason came up to the studio today about 1:30. We had a 20 minute conversation. He was cordial, but you could tell something was bothering the 2009-2010 Carolina Huddle Fan MVP.
“Snubbed,” Jon said. “The numbers don’t lie.”
Jon was referring to the egregious fact that he didn’t make the NFC Pro Bowl roster. The fact that he’s a second alternate behind London Fletcher doesn’t help take the sting away. Jon wants to be the best — not just at the end of the season, but after every single play. That’s how he rolls. He’s intense, and I’m afraid this latest oversight is just gonna make him meaner. Like the Hulk.

Should John Fox decide to pack his bag and head for greener pastures, the Panthers will not have to look far for his replacement. In fact, they may only need to look as far as their own film room. There are currently three coaches on the Panthers payroll that could fill in for John Fox, and possibly improve upon what he has accomplished.
Jeff Davidson
Currently the Panthers Offensive Coordinator, Davidson has managed to put together the best rushing attack in Panthers history. Hindered by the play of Jake Delhomme this season, the play calling evolved into the most conservative in the NFL. His greatest accomplishment may have been keeping the Panthers somewhat competitive with such a one dimensional starting offense. Once Matt Moore took over and showed competence at the position, Panthers fans witnessed a balanced attack and a vertical passing game. Should Davidson be selected as head coach, it is likely GM Marty Hurney would insist on keeping Ron Meeks as defensive coordinator. With Davidson, there would not be a Panthers rebuilding, but a change in philosophy and hopefully an end to the “play not to lose” era. Davidson could fill his now vacant Offensive Coordinator position with Offensive Line Coach Dave Magazu, another standout due for a promotion. Read more

We posed this question on our Facebook Page this morning. It’s not too late to voice your opinion.
This is a sample of what folks had to say:

It is time once again for the highly coveted Huddle Awards. Our staff of Panthers enthusiasts have spent weeks compiling and analyzing raw data. The result, the most accurate and semi worthless awards in the Carolinas. Here we go…
Defensive MVP: Julius Peppers. Peppers started off slow, but once the QB change was made was an absolute terror on the football field. We will always have fond memories of Vikings Coach Brad Childress wanting to pull Brett Favre for fear of him getting killed. Thanks Julius. Read more

If you have been reading the local papers, you will by now have noticed a real uncertainty of who the starting QB will be next season. Today for example, the Charlotte Observer’s Charles Chandler compares Jake Delhomme to Brett Favre…
It’s also worth noting that quarterbacks sometimes are able to come back strong after dismal seasons. Minnesota’s Brett Favre has excelled this season at age 40, four years after throwing a career-worst 29 interceptions for Green Bay in 2005.
No, I am not making this up. You really did just read that.
