    Smitty just isn't ever gonna grow up. Refuses to apologize for "things in his personal life" because people need to mind their own business. Evidently minding your own business doesn't apply to Smitty because one of the first rules of minding your own business is not fuging other people's wives.

    I'd agree his business but that's kind of the problem with sharing your personal growth journey for BetterHelp ads

  2. It's the perfect storm of the starters finally being healthy for a stretch and the new additions panning out at the same time. Kon obviously but I think it's undersold how much of this is thanks to Diabate and Kalkbrenner filling the need at center that's plagued this franchise for like ten years

     He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."

    Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team. 

    Absolutely. LaMelo is our best playmaker and Brandon's our best pure scorer but Kon is consistently solid at both. We need at least two of them to have a big scoring night to win games and that's a lot easier to do when we can count on Kon to be the floor.  Enjoy the luxury of this trio in Charlotte while it lasts.

    Dave Canales has been HC for his current team longer than half of the league.  So, when you look at it that way, it is stable situation.

    Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement.

    Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr"

    This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday.

    Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible. 

    Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on. 

    The only source for Bryce's deep attempts I can find anywhere is Grok in reply to the original tweet:

    Bryce Young's approx. 46-50 deep pass attempts (20+ yards) in 2025 ranked among the lowest for starting QBs, around 28th-30th overall per PFF and fan analyses, with leaders like Matthew Stafford and Dak Prescott exceeding 70. His efficiency led the league despite lower volume.

    https://x.com/grok/status/2022067774499987744

    So I ask again, who would you say was the best deep ball thrower of the season? Bryce at 99.7% with some of the fewest attempts in the league, or the league leader in attempts just below him at 98.7%? Because PFF crowned Bryce and conveniently left out the context that would dispute their claim.

    Why, you have to ask, would PFF skew the stats in such a way to get Bryce at the top of a list. Honestly, they didn't. That's just how the stats shook out. Probably because Bryce took fewer deep pass opportunities than most other starting QBs, but on the rare opportunities he took, he did quite well.

    And that fits in with what an unbiased eye might see out of Bryce and Canales right now... Developing starter QB, developing offensive identity. Which is probably what we have. You and I don't know the calls on each play. We can't see what Bryce sees (or can't see) from the pocket. But a group that watches and grades every play for basically every player looked down at their stat calculations and went: "Would you look at that? Who would have thunk it?"

    Just because it doesn't fit into our own narrative doesn't make it false.

    The narrative's always been that they limit the playbook because of Bryce not that he's incapable of completing a deep pass. If he threw 99% on a handful of attempts that totally fits what we've been saying.

    Calling it "efficiency" without any regard for volume is a stretch. Stafford had the most deep attempts in the league and is just under Bryce completion rate at 98.7%. Who do you think is better at it?

    Naw, don't say anything about that. The pitchforks are out. He is too country, or dumb, or whatever at this point for any real conversation to be had with any Huddlers. Inconsistent QB play would have nothing to do with a WR's performance. Cam says in the interview he went to Greg Olsen, not the other way around. Olsen let him know when he was open, where to pick spots, and when to make tight throws. Everyone picks a player to dump on and XL is in the crosshairs. 

    Also, it is hilarious how people are always said to be so tired of the same canned, rehearsed, and polished answers during interviews. Then when anyone interviews any different here comes the public relations team. Cam put him up on some true game. Hopefully he absorbs it and uses it to become a WR that helps us consistently. 

    Excuses when he's been in the league and around Bryce longer than the guys who are producing

    The only people upset about this are white people. 

    It just hasn't hit the mainstream radar yet. If it goes viral best believe it'll be mostly gatekeepers taking issue. A lot of black folks have a zero tolerance policy on people who don't identify as black using it.

    I live in the Bronx where you have a lot Fat Joe types who throw it around as part of the culture here so I get it, and locker rooms are usually politically incorrect for comraderie's sake, but letting non-black people use it is crazy to most of the country in the same way that a confederate flag means "I miss slavery" to anyone not from the South.

    a small niche of people repeatedly saying this is why the nfl thought they could get away with the transition 

    nobody cares about watching guys throw balls in buckets in NFLPA OFFICIALLY LICENSED MATERIAL 

    it’s not the nba-it’s not a player driven sport. the whole reason the pro bowl worked is because fans got to see guys clad in their team’s helmets representing their team among the best in the league while hoping that they stood out at that echelon. You wanted to see a Panther do well when everyone else was hoping for the same. 

    go back to that, go back to an actual game, or just abolish the entire thing. Nobody wants to see an event where primadonnas build their brand a little more, people who like that kind of thing have a sports league of their own they can go enjoy. 

    See, to me the games are more about ego because there’s no reason to give effort. Especially in a demanding sport like football you’re not really seeing your favorite player square off with the best. Everyone’s goofing off and taking it easy, it’s barely a real game. The skills stuff at least forces guys to show off their talents.

    I like your other suggestions. Hell I’d rather watch them do combine drills than watch a scrimmage where everyone’s main objective is to not get injured

    Belichick not being first ballot makes the HOF a farce. It's as meaningless as the pro bowl now. 

    Paul Hornung bet on games as a player and still got in but Ricky Williams is shadowbanned for life over weed. Michael Irvin got in with a laundry list of misconduct. You've got guys in Canton with mediocre stats. Not going to cry for Belichick but it's been a farce.
