    And? Everyone has a right to take a stand for their beliefs and opinions. If you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything, right? 
     

     

    I’m going to throw a flag on this.  Chubba went to Twitter to voice his displeasure, rather than speak first to Gundy.  It’s entirely possible that it could have been resolved at that point without dragging the team and the university into it.

    Hypothetical scenario:  Chubba sees something that offends him during his tenure as a Panther.  I for one would rather see him go to Rhule or Fitterer first and discuss it privately rather than fire something off on Twitter or to the media, where the issue will get inflamed and enlarged.

    There is a reason that HR policies direct an employee to speak to their Supervisor first.  Conflict resolution or grievances are always best handled at the lowest organizational level possible.  Pro tip: the higher up a complaint escalates without successful resolution, the more acrimonious the final outcome for both parties.  

    Even though I think he was impulsive and showed poor judgment in how he handled the previous incident, he is a Panther now and I will be pulling for him to be successful here.  He’s young and we all learn as we go through life.

    Great article - liked him at Ok State and really a fan after reading this. Thanks for sharing LP!

    As Panthers’ fans in general, we have to get over this phobia of players becoming potential trouble makers just because they’re outspoken or have different personalities or have made past mistakes. Give them a chance to prove themselves. This is a new regime and days of drafting choirboys are over - thank God!

    This is the modern, politically correct NFL.  I miss the old days when our Topcats would venture into Tampa Bay bars and throw down.  I mean, who doesn't love a good cat fight?

    30th just seems too low to me.

     

    Interesting factoid:  LT on that play was Daley.  Leaning a little into his block but I’ll take effective over ugly every day.

    It's cute you cut-n-paste one comment from the post and ignore the message of the post.

    Leadership was evident with Cam, Olsen, Luke and TD - you didn't have to go looking for it. Show me how CMC is exhibiting obvious leadership with this team. He's a great player, no doubt, but he hasn't established himself as a team leader, yet. Neither has anyone else on the offensive side of the ball. It's part of the reason the team lost a lot of close games last year.

    You stated that CMC does not want to be a leader.  I don't think it is terribly argumentative to ask what evidence you have to support that statement.  Absent evidence, that is just your opinion.  We all have opinions.  Don't get your panties in a wad.

    Those reps matter a LOT for developing a player. Right now the bulk of the reps in his entire quarterback career were with the Jets. 

    Compare that to someone like Trevor Lawrence, who basically grew up playing football and quarterback. That is tens of thousands of reps and hours that he is already ahead of a guy like Darnold in his development. 

    Doesn't mean he can't bridge that gap but everyone seemed to have looked past how little experience he actually had coming into the NFL. 

     

    True but I think that NFL game reps count a little more than college level reps.  At best, it's an apples to oranges comparison.  I do share your concern about those NFL reps being with the Jets.  We'll see pretty quickly this season whether the Jets broke Sam for all time or whether Sean Ryan is truly the 'Quarterback Whisperer'.  Other Huddlers make valid comments about the O-line being a factor in Sam's success or failure.  I tend to think that Sean Ryan will potentially be the biggest factor in getting Sam's head 'right' and set up for success.

    Not a fan of the Top Cats' uniforms, very Catholic High School, but then I guess anything racier would prompt a boycott or something.

    The uniforms you are advocating for can be viewed at Victoria Secret...
