it's not about the numbers. not even necessarily about the wins. it's what i can see. i want to see a guy back there that is confident, composed, and in command of the offense....or at least obviously growing in these ways. I want to see chemistry increasing between him and his line, his RBs, and his pass catchers. i also want to see confidence in BY coming from his teammates. and of course i want to see that ball move down the field and get into the endzone more often. he needs to be taking advantage of every opportunity and even creating some when things fall apart.

From that other thread....

i think he's going to prove himself to be a really good target. that's where i think he's really going to shine.

i'm going ooal. 12 carries, 75 yards (i see him breaking of for a big one), and a TD 5 catches, 25 yards yes....100 all purpose yards and a TD. and that's just getting him started.

baby steps. i don't think it will take very much, though. it was encouraging to hear some of the other players talking about Brooks and how they are excited to see him in the game. Apparently they like what they have been seeing in practice. XL was saying that he and Chuba are pretty similar, but Brooks is faster. i don't think they've ever said anything good about Miles.

what we've turned into

i think we'll get it back. it will be different, but still very good. get us back to the type game we should have always been playing.

Such a great list of players all the way through. So many favorites of mine. But yeah.....lots of great WRs in there as well. Tough choices.

I'm pretty excited about it. I think he kills it. And seriously, fug you injury asshats

I can't remember what he did with the news, but I think he was just lonely, but lonely because he was really weird. He'd start threads in the main panthers forum like "who was your favorite golden girl?" Seriously, talking about the TV show. Might not have been that one but it was random stuff like that. I'd tell him 1) that's just weird and 2) Panthers forum. Need to be panthers related. So he start a thread asking something like "so who do you think Jordon Gross' favorite golden girl was?" He'd get upset and he'd just do the weirdest spamming I ever saw in here. You'd ban him and he would play the whole "I'll just create another account" game so I'd sit there and delete them while I was watching TV. One of those clowns who would create 20 something accounts in an evening. (We've got a couple of those type bozos in here right now, actually) Anyway, that guy was just psycho. And then there was that nut that would post pics of turds in his toilet. He'd start off normal enough (I always knew it was him) but then he'd freak out and take a pic in his filthy bathroom of whatever turd he just laid in there.

those were the days

we've had some real psychos in here. one guy used to work for some news station in the charlotte area. i mean that guy went absolutely nuts.

whoever is QB will have a great line in front of them. the chemistry there already is all you could want.

Icky needs to stay at LT. Brady is the moving piece we need to bounce all over. keep him doing that and keep Mays at center. you need to keep BC free to move around.

i got attacked by a housecat once. pretty terrifying. i was at a friends house and the cat jumped on my lap. it was calm for a minute but then it turned on it's back and bit my hand and sunk it's claws into my arm, all four of them so i grab the thing and pull the thing off my arm, dragging it's claws down my arm. i finally get the crazy thing off and throw it on the ground then it grabs my leg (fortunately i was wearing jeans that day) and the owner, who has just been sitting there in shock watching this happen to this point, grabs the thing and carries it downstairs and throws it outside. supposedly that cat had never done anything like that before. i had been over there a lot and never had any problems with that cat. but something happened to it and it was never the same. went completely mental. they kept it outside after that. one week they went on vacation for a few days and apparently a stray chow came around and when they got home, the chow had the cat trapped under a car. no telling how long it had been there. they chased off the chow and the cat ran off and they never saw it again. then that chow came back and hung around for a while and was terrorizing the other animals, including an old horse they had in a pasture. it killed at least one cat that i know of. they called animal control on it and they found it under one of their outbuildings. they figured the only thing they could do is shoot the thing. they shot it with a shot gun and it took one blast and then went running towards the guy who shot it and had to shoot it again.

we've had MUCH worse. and i think we are all a bit mentally unstable around here. i mean who wouldn't be as a panther fan? he's harmless.

i think we are on the ground floor working up. i'm not worried about the direction we're going. we'll get QB figured out. every other part is getting built with younger pieces. not much established here. we're establishing the foundation. there's other clubs, though, that i think should be worried because they are in the process of hitting bottom for one reason or a dozen others. these are clubs i think that are in worse shape. they might have more talent, but they aren't going anywhere and they won't without an overhaul somewhere. cowboys, jets, saints, browns, titans, giants, jaguars...lots of reason to feel hopeless for fans of those teams.

he's probably a guy who tries really hard to be that big presence in the locker room and on the sidelines, but just can't be counted on to produce. he probably makes them want to believe. hopefully we're good moving on. i know i am.

trust the money man. he's the best chance we've got in a situation like that. not even close.

that's a shame.

He's got the tools. He's got the size. He did pretty well his rookie year. Something went wrong somewhere. Was it him? Was it the organization? Was it the coaching staff? Would it be worth the cheap look? Wouldn't hurt. Then there's that neck. Not sure I could deal with that long term.
