You're probably the guy.that shows up at 0759 for a 0800 work shift

im they guy the cares more about people's work and production and where they finish, than who's standing around on the field and stretching a whole 5 minutes before everyone else. 

it's pointless and useless information. like that idiot kid who was sleeping in his car in front of the stadium trying to prove how bad he wanted it. coaches and players dont care. it's just feel good bs for the fans and reporters.

i could do this all day haha.

So what do you want Brown to do, go back in a tie his shoes again? There’s a difference between being a coach of a football team and leading a desk crew.

I’d rather my guys be early and getting stretched out then wasting time bumping music in the locker room if they are ready to go.

Enjoy your afternoon.

study your playbook, help out a teammate, or by all means go out early if he has nothing better to do. but for the love of smitty, don't do it because you think it shows youre better than the next guy. it doesnt.

You’ve been told many times that showing up early is just one of many things a player can do to show initiative but for some reason you are only focusing on being early. Once again, no one said that’s the end all be all and player A is making the roster over player B because player A showed up earlier. I’ve outlined it for you multiple times that if I can come up with more things that a player does to show leadership, initiative, and overall good energy then that player has a better chance of making the roster than his competition who doesn’t do those things. There’s a whole list of items that I’m taking into consideration, being early is just one of the 100.

If you can’t understand the premise then we don’t need to have a conversation because frankly it’s a waste of both of our times.

that's because we're talking about the post of being early! wtf.

it's nonsense and shouldn't even be a factor. it's literally just a wankfest fans to see who has the lunchiest lunch pail, bluest blue collar, suckiest suck-up mentality. it doesnt matter when discussing who's first on field by a matter of minutes. that's it. nothing to go off of.

if one of my reports shows up to an office meeting 15min early, im telling their ass to get back to their desk and answer some emails. no one is impressed by your gimmicks of wannabe leadership.

It’s over your head… all you can see is that player arriving early, you haven’t the slightest clue about what else he is doing to set himself apart but at the end of the day if I can point to more things that he does that shows initiative then he’s set himself up better than his competition who is on equal grounds but shows no initiative whatsoever.

showing up a little less early by a matter of minutes than the next guy, is not showing "no initiative".  that guy couldve been in his locker studying the playbook for all you or the coaches know. it's not an indicator of jack. you could literally decide this by age, injuries, athleticism, potential, cap space. ANYTHING but, "hey this guy showed up on the field 15min early and this guy showed up 10min early". it's a gimmick for rookies to show the fans that care about stupid ish like this. nothing more.

you just cant see it.

You’d be in the minority here. If 2 players on field performance is the same, the coach is going to 9/10 times go with the one that shows more initiative, heart, guts, all that stuff. That stuff matters way way more than a fraction of a tenth second forty time 

arriving a few minutes earlier than the next guy is by no means whatsoever an indicator for initiative, heart, GUTS, and all that stuff. im sorry but it's nonsense.

there are an infinite number of rational and logical ways to make this decision over the quest of being the earliest earlies.

2 minutes ago, MillionDollarCam said:

You’re acting like this formula is used for every player… if Spencer Brown and John Lovett are neck and neck for a spot and the coaching staff is split then it’s probably more beneficial to Brown that he’s out early every day, high energy, and getting warmed up before his completion.

You are acting like we’d keep Uncle Rico over Corral because Uncle Rico showed up earlier. That’s not case at all and I’ve said multiple times that if all other things are considered equal. It’s not my fault you are having issues understanding the premise.

At the end of the day Brown is only going to help himself by being early.

What is silly is telling Brown and Lovett to go run the 40 to decide who makes the team.

you're telling me a guy that arrives 15min early to practice must have more heart and drive than a guy that arrives 10min early to practice? gtfo.

please try explaining to the player that's 10min early everyday.

I’ve been in the meeting rooms when stuff like this happens so we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Like I said no one is going to say that player A made it over player B because player A was out early. But I’ve heard more times than I can count… Well, with player A he’s always out early and ready to go and we never have to question his energy… take it for what it’s worth but I’ve seen it benefit players to be the first player out more than I’ve seen it hurt them.

Insane. "Whoever is the earliest early bird gets the spot!" Please God don't let this be the Panthers' way.

It has nothing to do with who is faster. It’s not like these guys have an extra job or have to drive to practice or have any excuse for not being early. They are a few steps away from the field and if one guy wants to show initiative and come out early then he’ll definitely get a look over someone who shows up late assuming that they are in direct competition and all other things are considered equal.

It’s not like we are cutting D.J. Moore for some community college receiver because Moore showed up later… but for a player like Spencer Brown it could mean everything because he’s fighting for a practice squad spot. In the long run it’s better to do things that people will remember then to blend in the background.

"late" no is showing up late here. it's literally a few minutes. it's gimmicky bs that only the fans care about. If coaches actually cared, then every fringe player would be out there sleeping on the field fully dressed and ready to go. "put me in coach!" 

i would love for them to ask a coach about whether this is a factor in their decision making. if they say yes, you'll see every scrub doing random gimmicky, "im a hard worker" performances left and right. dudes out there cutting the grass and painting lines like theyre rudy.

I mean I coach at the HS level and I’ve interned under one of the coaches currently on our coaching staff… while your quote has never been said when determining cuts, the word initiative has been said countless times when determining cuts. I’d rather keep the player that shows up early and runs off the field than the player who shows up late and walks off the field if all other things are considered equal. 

in the unlikely case you can't decide between two players, i'd really hope they would just have it decided by a foot race or three cone. giving it to the guy that puts his pads on and his shoes faster is just asinine to me.

Just now, MillionDollarCam said:

Just shows initiative, if you are trying to earn a spot (even if it’s a practice squad spot) and it’s down to you and another guy and the decision is split down the middle between the coaching staff… well I like your chances better than the guy who came out last.

no coach ever in history said, "this guys is out on the field 4 minutes ahead of the other, he gets the spot." 

that's not a reason except amongst fans following tweets from media.

Looks like Spencer Brown beat everyone out to the field today but Corral was the first QB out once again… so far the kid is doing everything right and just working hard. Good to see.

i never understood why we care who is out on the field first. what's the point?

It would be nice because it sucks how much David Tepper has trashed this franchise, we are the laughing stock of the league , something we never experienced under Richardson, even in 2001 we were competitive 

No Free Agent wants to come here because we have a terrible staff that our owner doesn't fire

I don't look forward to football season anymore 

he could move the team and then instead of being the laughing stock, we can be nothing at all.

we've been here before, remember jimmy clausen? that was worse. much worse.

In 2010 all the analyst were saying we are one of the worst teams in the NFL. 
As a fan I didn’t believe it. Thinking we were good enough to get to the playoffs with Matt Moore. 
Season began and rest is history. Don’t know if the team would have won more if Moore hadn’t gotten injured but the analysts were right. 
Today the same thing is happening. 
Not saying that Madden is an analyst and good at predicting bad teams, but there is an aura surrounding this team and that aura is bad team stink. 
 

For the love of God just let me enjoy my optimism for a few minutes. This doom and gloom crap really depresses me. Some of us living sub-par lives only have the hope of a new season for a few months to cling on to here. 

But seriously,.... Fug Atlanta.

I must have missed the Troy hate. what'd he say?

How would you feel about our future with Sam Darnold going into next season?

 

with the way our defense is looking and if cmc stays healthy, with those stats we'll be 12-5

I hear your plea and understand why.  I had covid and have had my antibodies checked.  I will opt out of the vaccine and let my natural antibodies do their job.  I don't like any vaccine that will reprogram my DNA.

There's good arguments on both sides.  If I hadn't had covid and not have strong antibodies, I would get vaccinated with the one that doesn't effect my DNA.

So get the Johnson & Johnson single shot. It's the old process that doesn't "reprogram your DNA"

Refs show up and all the sudden offense is on fire. Defense has been cheatin!
