Bama Panther

Dominant third period. If the Canes can win Game 6, all the pressure will be on NYR as the President’s Trophy winning team potentially blowing a 3-0 series lead. 

I don’t post in this forum much, but one can clearly see the difference here in the third period. The Canes are attacking Shesterkin, and he is letting pucks by him. Up until this point, it seems as if they’ve almost played scared of him, awaiting perfect shots. This is how to beat him.

Were you the one who shot down my value on Kobbie Turner & Zach Tom too because our front office did better with their LB picks with Morgan's lead? Being from the Carolinas means nothing? A team has no excuse for missing on their top local talent for special teams players & project players from around the nation!

Dude, I could not care less about draft value from some message board poster. I also don’t worry myself with bitching and moaning about a draft pick on the night it happens. 

What I do know is that all the other teams have passed on players the Huddle has been clamoring for. If this “top local talent” was so good and worth the medical risk in taking, they’d be off the board.

Payton Wilson, Cedric Gray, Jeremiah Trotter Jr, James Williams (3 from the Carolinas)... you pick Trevin Wallace?

 

Adisa Isaac & Bralen Trice for the edge are still available. What is the thinking here?

Being “from the Carolinas” has absolute poo to do with reasons to draft someone.

This is awesome. Added 2 legit playmakers, one being the best RB in this draft, and somehow got a 2nd round pick for next year. I don't know how anyone can look at this holistically and not be happy

Because people want to bitch and moan all the time.

Hey, we got Clemson to the Final Four. Bama is an every other game team. They're gonna go like 4-27 from three against Clemson.

A very likely outcome from behind the arc for the Tide. 

I was surprised by UNC’s second half. Bama’s D has been problematic all year. I fully expected UNC to break triple digits on the way to a win tonight.

At least Bama gave us Brandon Miller

Also gave you an L. 

Sorry. I had to. 

This is a great game. I fully expect UNC to pull it out, but a great game of run answered by a run answered by a run. Fun to watch.

Broncos, Steelers, Falcons, Washington, Patriots - all decisively moving on from QBs who they deemed not good enough.

The Panthers - let's run it back with Young, he needs more time.

And that's why we suck.

Those teams all had multiple seasons with those QBs. The Panthers have had one. Not quite the same thing.

Calvin Ridley is not worth that big time contact. You know Jefferson is smiling watching avg WR cash in. Rumor has it that JJ wants more than $30+ mill per year, he wants QB money!

 

These salaries are getting absolutely insane. At some point, the NFL salary model (resetting the market each year) will be unsustainable. The League as a whole can’t reset the market every year for nearly every position just because there is roughly 10% more money to spend.

Rebuilding with a starting talent level of less than an expansion team is going to be difficult. At some point the 'rebuild' becomes a cycle and you're the new Jaguars.

Yeah. You can’t just say, “We’re rebuilding” and it happen exactly like you want. The team has to have a plan. Maybe they have one. Maybe they don’t. Either way, a rebuild doesn’t start with giving Burns $30M a year going forward.

Bryce still has 4 years with the option if he hits 

Yeah. Forgot about the option. Either way, the Panthers could have a QB on a rookie pay scale for close to the entirety of Hunt’s contract and the entirety of Lewis’s.  

Poo reactionary thread is poo. 

People on this board have been clamoring for a rebuild, instead of a half-in/half-out team building, for the past 3-4 years. When Morgan steps in and starts the process of a true rebuild, people bitch and moan. Classic Huddle for ya.

Meh idk about that. We had one of the weakest interiors in the league last year. They are trying get Bryce a similar pocket to what Brees had in NO with a really strong interior.

This is going to help us a lot because now we can really run the ball with Chubba. Getting Foreman back wouldn’t be a horrible move either. Hopefully we can grab receiving back in the draft. 

I get that. If Bryce works with this group, that will be great for the Panthers. I just wonder if the big money being spent on IOL could be a signal that the QB may be on a rookie scale longer than Bryce would. 

I’m not so sure these two OL moves are a chance to help Bryce. I think they signify that Dan and Dave don’t think Bryce is the answer. 

The amount of money paid to Hunt and Lewis leads me to believe the Panthers brass thinks they will have a QB on a four year rookie contract through 2028 (2024 for Bryce: 2025-2028 for the 2025 first round draft pick). These moves allow the line to gel for a year and set the next guy up better than Bryce was set up last year.

Better question is, why hasn’t anyone else interviewed him other than the Falcons?

Because he will be 72 years old in April! NFL teams hire head coaches with the hopes that the coach provides stability and long term success. Hard to make a case for that when you hire someone who will 72 years old in a few months.

If that is the time to throw then long times are generally bad. The greats have the shortest time to throw because they make quick decisions. Long times generally mean lots of sacks. 

 

Could also mean slow developing plays. I’m not saying that is the case, because I haven’t gone back to watch the All-22 of the entire season. However, for some of the games that I watched the All-22, the route schemes were awful.

Sad you quoted my post mentioned nothing about my family situation just to prove your point about a football game.

 

This just shows you how some people value football over real life situations.

 

Thanks for proving your point though. Hopefully the Panthers and Tepper feel passionate about you the fan to put a better product on the field.

 

On that note I'm done for tonight. It's been a hell of a weekend. Hope everyone enjoyed the 1st week of playoff football.

I’m not a person who is passionate enough to cry about football. I am also of the age that I realize that this is just a game that has no real bearing on my life, other than the emotional ups (not really anymore) and downs of a game. However, I am not going to poke fun at someone who is passionate and out their team winning or losing. 

As much as your family circumstances give you the perspective of knowing there is far more than football, we have no idea about that guy’s life circumstances. Maybe he had an absentee father and turned to the Lions for enjoyment. Maybe he attended and watched Lions games with his grandfather and wanted nothing more than to share in a Lions playoff victory but his grandfather didn’t live long enough to see this game. Whatever it is, I’m not going to put that guy down. 

As far as my statement, I’m just pointing out the juxtaposition of you essentially saying, “I’m not passionate enough to cry about football because life,” while you, at the same time, take every opportunity to passionately put down the players on the team of which you profess to be a fan.

I get your passion, but as you get older you realize this is nothing but a game. This is entertainment. 

 

Sorry but much more important things in life than being passionate about a game of football. My uncle has stage 3 lung cancer. My mom has to have an X-ray on her chest because she has been dealing with a cough for a year since she had COVID.

 

I'm passionate about real life situations, not a damn game of football. Sorry if my priorities are not up to par with yours.

But you can be passionate enough to dog poo on Bryce constantly?

Same for LG.

@Bama Panther thoughts?

The more I learn about DeBoer, the more I like it. He’s been successful everywhere he’s coached. If he can recruit the Southeast and deal with the stress of following Saban, he will do well at Bama, I think. 

9 hours ago, DJ feed me moore said:

he wont be worse than Shula lmao.

Absolutely  I was in law school at Bama during the Shula years. I actually expect DeBoer to do well at Bama, so long as he can handle the pressure of following Saban. Don’t know if they’ll maintain their level of play over the last 15 years, but he’ll do well. 

Deboer just took Washington, the Washington Huskies, to the CFP National Championship Game in his second season there. Yet CRA and CWC are in here touring how Bama is going to fall off a cliff?  Hahaha. 

While I expect a drop-off, Bama will still be relevant. Bama will still pull recruits. Bama will still be in the mix. 

A lot of wishful thinking in here.

Bama has been the costistant top recruiter over last decade plus. When Georgia and Clemson  entered that top realm for a few years  they won.  Not sure that's the argument you were going for.

Bama has been consistently in the top 3 or so. The argument I am making is that one extra 5-star recruit in a class doesn’t automatically lead to championships over teams that have similar recruiting classes. That is where the “he’s just a JAG coach” falls apart, because those other similarly situated teams should have won more championships.
