Yup. the best cultures are not a plan, but an atmosphere. Pay attention to Canales. So positive you think he is trying to sell you something. Eventually, it becomes contagious. He still makes the tough calls, but he is positive about it (Benching Bryce after 2 games). Canales and Morgan are controlling the culture by modeling attitudes and bringing in the right players. The trick is, let the players think it is their culture because they will protect it. Assimilation. Modeling. Empowerment.

I mean, we have a relatively young team, and we still have a "new" team as we're building something. I'm pretty sure that someone will emerge between the youngsters and the free agent vets.

You can see how amazing his routes are on some clips the panthers post. It's a match made in heaven. Renfrow will get open and Bryce will deliver it on time. Watch, they are going to be 3rd down killers.

You do realize that was in reference to David Moore? I don't think you're necessarily trying to be overly sarcastic, but I would classify Renfrow as above average under normal circumstances. He'll never be great, but he's the sneaky chain-mover that performs a certain function consistently well.

Synchronicity is the key. And it is a frikkin' hard key to get. The teams that have/develop it, win and win big: Chiefs, Eagles, Lions (can you believe I'm saying that?), Bills, Ravens. Teams that only get one or the other going successfully peak at being competitive but sputter out in a couple of seasons... it just can't hold together. And what happens when you have neither one working? I give you the last half decade of the Carolina Panthers.

You need both. For all the poo game plans and bad game day management you had both under Rivera. From those all or nothing videos it was clear to me he had command of the locker room but gave the players who deserved it the power to lead. The problem now is we don't have any Olsen, cam, Luke, TD's who have earned that right to lead. Maybe Brown but that's it.

It’s been a minute since my divorce from the Panthers game day experience and I used to park my tailgate trailer at W Hill St but parking panda doesn’t exist anymore. anyone know how to find tailgating spots for the season where you can set up a tailgate trailer

Which is what I hope we have happening. Canales established a new culture in house, we rid ourselves of the Rhule era and the brief hiccup that was Frankie. And now with his own thing in place, he’s created the landscape for guys like Bryce, Hunt, McMillan, Brown, Horn and others to make it an even better thing to be a part of

If roles are clearly defined and boundaries are established, and good culture comes from a healthy mix of both. For example - a great coach can be the catalyst for establishing a baseline culture, but the right player in a leadership role can take that and bring it to an even greater level.

JAG? Renfrow? Renfrow is a stylin, profiln, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling and dealing son of a gun. A living and breathing Carolina legend.

He flunked a physical (allegedly), clearly didn't want to be here, and was in the last year of his contract. I'm actually surprised they were still able to get a couple of first rounders for him.

I get that, but not a lot of UFA top RHDs out there, unless you want to give Eckblad $9-10M. Matter of fact, Eckblad may be the only top line D-man who's unrestricted. Better look for a trade somewhere.

But tbh, even if we took Ace, he would force his way out or be injured all the time or immediately leave when his contract was up after half-assing here then go on to be an all-star elsewhere. I see all these people now saying we need to trade LaMelo, but we’ve seen this movie before. He can’t stay healthy - then we trade him and he lives up to all of his potential while we poo the bed with whatever assets we got back for him and end up with nothing. It’s the Hornets and Panthers way.

Great article on BY!https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/panthers-film-review-bryce-youngs-153036736.html

I just thought we could have gotten more for Mark Williams. Not sure why they were dead set on trading him. Even more pissed we took back that bum micic

I don't agree, but your remark was funny as hell. I knew that people were going to reject "leave our mark," simply because they hate change. Add in the emotional Sam Mills aspect of it, and "keep pounding" is sacred to so many Panthers fans. Sometimes change is warranted however, so If they come out with a jacket or hat or something, I'm on it.

Low expectations and putting JAG on a pedestal. I guess I can understand. We've been in a bit of a desert of talent-rich wide receivers. I received a lot of smoke for trying to tell people that Philly Brown was JAG. Oh how so many Huddlers loved them some Philly...

I thought they had a pretty good draft last night. Hornets were dead last in shooting and three pointers. They drafted two guys that can shoot.

Ok you've convinced me to go ahead and order my Hunter Renfrow jersey.

I always thought they should have one thing on highway etiquette and safety in the driver's ed programs. Doesn't even need to be on the actual exam. But if people just learned the basics at 15/16, after 10-20 years I think there would be enough of them on the road to help. Not just what the lanes are for but how to (and not to) drive with semi trucks.

Didn’t realize Renfro did returns! Thank you for that It’s his (Renfro) to lose then, which he won’t.
