I rarely drink these days, but I had to run to the liquor store and purchase two bottles of liquor just to stomach watching the second half of that shitshow yesterday. I am now hungover, reading the Huddle, trying to process how I feel about this team, and I feel the need to rant about over a dozen things. This is a fan forum, so if you're already trying to think of a gif to post or a funny one liner like "lol dude it's preseason" "lol dude go touch grass", you can go fug yourself.

I have been watching the Panthers for quite some time now. I've sat through a lot of bullshit. I'm honestly sick of it.

I'm sick of the mediocracy, I'm sick of settling, I'm sick of getting embarrassed, I'm sick of watching bad football.

This team looks completely flat, no energy, no discipline, no preparation, no heart, nothing.

Bad penalties, bad play calling, horrible fundamentals, inexcusable mistakes and missed opportunities all across the board.

These motherfuggers get paid more than anyone on here will ever make in a life time and they absolutely BLOW at their jobs.

These motherfuggers get paid to play a game that children play on TV and they somehow get a pass year of after fugging year for playing shitty / coaching shitty.

These motherfuggers eat, sleep, and breathe this game, they practice all year, their whole lives, and they just still cannot get it right.

We as fans wait months to see the team we root for take the field and show some heart, make plays, win games.

We as fans work all day, some of us in grueling jobs, long hours, travel, etc - and we sit down to watch some football to relax and enjoy downtime.

We as fans buy merch, buy tickets, show up to events, encourage these guys.

and this is what we get? Every single fugging year? No matter the coach? No matter the GM? No matter the players? Just complete dogshit every single season? Year after fugging year?

This is equivalent to being a diehard fan of a band, buying their merch, buying their concert tickets, etc and then having them drop an album that sounds like someone jack hammering a cat. Or going to their concert only to watch them trying to play their instruments with a fugging dildo. 

It is absolute insanity. It is an absolute joke bro. Like what in gods green earth are you guys doing at practice? What are you doing in meetings? What tape are you watching?

How do we string together a group of the worst coaches and worst players, year after year? How does that even happen with out trying?

Why is our social media team posting a picture of the definition of preseason after a game? Do you know how embarrassing that is? Do you know how cringe and stupid all of their content is? Get off the fugging phones and stop trying to be hip. Stop trying to save face because you have a shitty ass product and you think being funny or "cool" on social media will mask that.

All this rah rah crap, all these interviews, skits, "this or that", stupid ass social media trends, cut that shid out and start fugging focusing on not being complete horseshit on the field.

Players laughing and shid on the sidelines, "oh har har har I still get my game check and then get to go home and play as myself in madden then wake up and dick around at practice tomorrow har har har". Motherfuggers never worked a god damn day in their lives, they don't know shid about adversity, they don't know shid about hard work, discipline, effort, heart. These motherfuggers just out here running around playing a game half ass and collecting money. These coaches are all just failed players that can't give up the glory of being on the field and are out there trying to act like they fugging know anything. 

"IT'S JUST PRE-SEASON LOL"

"IT'S JUST WEEK ONE LOL"

"IT'S ONLY THEIR FIRST YEAR TOGETHER LOL"

"IT'S ONLY A GAME LOL"

fug outta here. Why even watch then? Why even go to a concert where they're playing instruments with dildos? What is the fugging point?

This franchise absolutely sucks man. Tepper has ruined this shid. I really wish I didn't like watching the Panthers, I truly don't even know why I do.

I would do anything to take this team over and actually show these motherfuggers what it means to work hard, have some fugging heart, give a damn, make plays, make an impact.

I wait all god damn year for this shid and here we go again. Every week until February we're going to watch these idiots "coach" this "team and draw up dogshit plays for them to butcher if they even get the snap off before committing a penalty.

"LOL LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS"

"LOL DUDE DON'T EXPECT THEM TO MAKE A GOOD ALBUM"

LOL LOL LOL GIF GIF GIF

says a lot about you as a human if that's how you live life. If your passions are that weak, if you are that quick and easy to settle.

I can honestly rant about this shid all day so if you want smoke please go head and quote me.

David Tepper, Reich, players, I want all the smoke. Social media team, come at me with that softshit.

I am spending the rest of my morning writing to the front office and DMing every single person with a social media account that works for or plays for this team to make them aware of our disappointment.

I may speak for some of you already and for those that don't agree, I am going to speak for you any ways.

Because? Because this is absolute DOGSHIT DILDOS.

This thing reads kind of like you’re trying your hand at sports writing or maybe trying out to be a character on WFNZ. Yikes.

What service do you have? DirectTV has some BS message about the pissing contest they’re having with Nexstar over pricing, so they’ve got a message saying they won’t show it. I’m about to switch carriers.

LMAO. Your poor wife.

Its not "just a sport" these people are professionals paid millions to perform. If a CEO was making millions, performing poorly, and uploading videos goofing off on the internet, how would that go over? Everyone knows the NFL is a business. Millions of panther fans base their happiness, at least partially, on team performance. Stop acting like this is a group of kids playing at recess and wake up to reality 

They're paid entertainers. You're taking it way too seriously if your happiness or anyone else's depends on professional athletes 'taking their job seriously.' Sports fandom should augment your happiness, not be the main source of it. 

Nothing I hate more than Cowboys fans bragging about past(WAY PAST) victories. I love to see it from the players on the field. That's a huge part of what made 2015 so magical. I just prefer leave the braggadocio to the players who did the work to earn it.

I got to wonder about who is writing this stuff for the post and what connection they have to WM.  Reason being I saw a similar article about boxed yellow cake mixes a few months back in the WashPo and guess which one came out on top ?  Wal marts -  over betty crocker, duncan hines and all the rest.  Seems a bit fishy to me,  not that I have any problem buying store brands to save money.

More and more, it feels like everything everywhere is a commercial disguised as info-tainment. 

The Fresh Step Litter Box.

I mean our mascot is a cat, right?!

I liked the original book/movie, A Man Called Ove. It really, truly didn't need to be remade. It's a great story, and there are several other books by the author that are like it. There's also a series on one of the streaming services with characters he developed. 

Of all of the posters on this site, I can't think of any less qualified to start a 'never forget' thread than @TheBigKat. 

Has anyone made the Tombstone connection yet?

Michael Lombardi said he wasn't coachable. Wingo just said that there was stuff that was giving Carolina pause and then his co-host spoke for most of the clip.

I said Wingo is a piece of poo for spreading rumors, I never specified which rumors. Not sure why you think one is better than the other, but okay. If you come on my show and I let you spread misinformation, that's on me. He's been doing this long enough that you can't chalk it up to 'just letting the other guy talk...'

Wingo didn't spread that he wasn't coachable tho?

WTF? It's right there in the first post.

You might find this crazy but I watched Requiem for a Dream last weekend for the first time.  I had no idea any connections at all.  I thought it was ok…but definitely interesting.  I must be used to disturbing movies cuz it was just meh.  The final scene with the girls bothers me mostly because of the jackel people in this world.  That can’t be fun to watch

I just found it super depressing, which was the point I guess. Watching the girl from Labyrinth, who I had a huge crush on as a kid, sucking dick and doing live sex shows to score drugs for herself and her loser boyfriend was just a huge bummer, haha. 

Trey Wingo is a real piece of poo to spread rumors like this, especially when draft order affects how much money these guys make on their first contract. We're lucky that we have two strong prospects like Young and Stroud to choose from. I'll be happy with either one.

Reich...

Love the sound of that

One of the reasons the Patriots had such a good run  was an emphasis on smart players. They put a premium on football intelligence, and it looks like we're going to do the same.

I'm all for it.

Reich says he wants smart AND high character guys, so that reduces the pool a bit. You have to be smart to cheat that long without getting caught, so for the most part Pats players are smart, but I would never call them 'high character' guys. 

Completely unnecessary post. We really are in the dog days of the offseason, aren't we? 

Panthers media team needs to get to work on an augmented reality bit where a Great White shark eats the other team's mascot whole whenever DJ scores a touchdown. 

If I'm overthinking it, which is the point of this question, I would order something easy to eat, that wouldn't be a huge issue if were to get cold if I was answering questions or making eye contact with the interviewers. Maybe a salad with steak on it. I wouldn't have a drink, unless I was known to be a drinker, because they'll already know that and would probably think that completely abstaining around them is a 'move.' 

If I'm being honest, I'm getting a steak, medium rare, and a green side. I usually drink water, and have a single glass of red wine with red meat. I'd probably ask the server's recommendation for a good wine to pair with whatever I order, or I might ask someone in the group, if it's already come up that they're really into wine.  

I'm not a blue chip college QB though, and they're probably used to taking charge, so I would expect them to be polite but assertive with their choices. Also, steak houses are the worst, because everything is a la carte, so you have a ton of plates taking up table space. I know it's dumb, but I would notice whether the QB prospect let the plates crowd his personal space, or if he made a deliberate attempt to reorganize/move them to make his table space more usable. 

I get the feeling that Eddy is mentally tougher than a lot of posters give him credit for. Him getting rattled and missing that kick sealed our defeat and pretty much doomed our chances of taking the division, and everyone on the team and in the stands knew it. Coming back and making every kick for the remainder of the season, with the coach's (who took a chance on him and refused to cut him) job on the line, takes a lot of mental fortitude. I hope he carries it into next season.

As McAfee so eloquently puts it, the NFL is the all-stars of each class stacked on each other for a decade.

The SEC simply doesn't compare I'm afraid. 

 Well if Pat McAfee said it...lmao. 

My point is, nobody knows, because there's not some pile of washed up blue chip college QBs who failed because they were 'too small.'

You guys touting measurables sound like a bunch of amateur phrenologists. So silly. 

Just now, Wolfcop said:

Who had similar measurables? 

Exactly. So you're saying that all of these idiots think that a guy who dominated in the SEC, against the best college competition, is going to have trouble in the NFL because he's small? Based on what data? That's some Matt Rhule analytics nonsense. 

BTW, Drew Brees played at like 15-20 lbs heavier and he turned out all right. 

What other small, blue chip QBs, with similar measurables to Bryce Young, didn't make it through their first few years in the NFL?

People talking about his size being an issue as if there's some mountain of evidence of this, when it all boils down to most of you just repeating what you've heard others say.
