I agree that Hurney 2.0 was better than 1.0 on paper. We got some solid FAs and made some solid draft choices. Our last draft might have been our best ever. But a lot of that I put on Rhule, all out acquisitions last year...good and bad. The second paragraph I couldn’t disagree with more. CBs are absolutely vital in today’s game. Far far moreso than LBs. Paying Shaq like a top tier LB was a mistake only slightly less ludicrous than paying Delhomme his last contract. We could have replaced Shaq with a 4th round LB or just signed a mediocre one in FA and got the same performance. Letting Bradberry walk was almost as stupid as not tagging Norman. Hopefully Fitterer and Rhule value the back end like the Seahawks did and not like our previous regimes.

This would be ideal. All comes down to whether the Jets draft a QB or if a team trades up for one.

Hurney getting a job is simultaneously mind blowing and yet entirely expected that WFT hired him. It’s hilarious how we have two Carolina North’s now, far north of us the Bills poached our good coach and GM candidate and close north of us Washington took our castoffs.

Yay emojis

Lolno

And then waste him the same way he wasted Cam

At least Snyder knows Hurney will have his back in all the improper conduct lawsuits.

Exactly what I was going to say

Hayell no. A pick that high needs to be on a position of value. OT, CB or trade back. But QB is really the only answer. Surely four don’t go before our pick.

Being under contract doesn’t mean he’ll be a starter. There’s 31 other guys under contract who aren’t starters.

Maryland. State of emergency here

County schools here are now shut down for two weeks for “deep cleaning”

I really wanted Philly to succeed, but I'm done with him. He's made of glass, and that'd be a risk worth taking if he was consistent. But he's not. I know he's young, but we need WR production other than KB and Ginn right now.

eh, there were two elite CBs in the top 11, and another taken a few picks before us.

I'd be ecstatic about Shephard in the 2nd, whether we'd have to trade up for him or not. The other 3 I'd be ok with, but wouldn't want to trade up for.

I'm not a fan of Lawson but I'd be ok with trading up in the 2nd for him if we miss out on Dodd and Ogbah. Love Henry and well worth a first in my opinion.

I'm all for Dodd in the first. One of my favorite 1st round potential Panthers at the moment.

Great photos. My favorite is the middle Stewart TD pic, where he's pretty much at the apex of his leap.

Dave said Josh was worth $7mil a year BEFORE this season. He's obviously worth a lot more now.

Another great Norman moment: wearing lucha libre mask "I don't consider myself a trash talker. I'm a motivator"

The main thing all this "#1 offense vs #1 total defense" business is leaving out is that Seattle was also the #1 defense where it mattered: points allowed. Denver is not. Also like someone pointed out, Denver was much weaker on the other side of the ball two years ago. We are not.

this is awesome.

Poignant as always. You should write a book dude.

Don't want to be entered for the contest, since I couldn't attend anyway, but I'll contribute to the topic. I don't like to be sappy or anything, so that's not my intent. But in all truthfulness the Panthers are one of my main sources of stability. I'm in the military, as I know a number of our fellow Huddlers are, so I'm going to be presumptuous and attempt to speak for us all. The Panthers are a source of stability. We have to move around a lot. Some more than others. Some to less than desirable places. Some of us have to be separated from our families for extended periods of time. Some of us have to experience things that most people will never even have nightmares about (luckily, I'm not one of those). For those times we're over in a desert living in a tent, or out on a ship, or otherwise disconnected from the lives that being an American means we're all entitled to (well most of us, I know we got some international folks here....we love yall!), we have the Panthers to remind us of home. In some cases we have the means to watch games. In some cases all we have is the internet to keep us apprised of what's going on (thank you baby Jeebus for the Huddle!). Our lives can be chaotic, unpredictable, can be uprooted at a moments notice. When we're alone somewhere remote, sometimes surrounded by people we don't know even though they're our allies, shipmates, or brothers-in-arms, we have two things to keep us grounded and sane. Our love for our families, and our love for our Panthers. Thank God for them both.

well, two things I learned from that game. Bridgewater is horrible. He just laid down for the Seahawks about once or twice a drive. And two, the Seahawks are still the luckiest team in history. Another patented Wilson toss it up and pray play worked out for them, and a missed 27 yard fg by the Vikings to lose the game. smh lol.
