After Zod made the thread this morning about having Huddlers contribute to the site, a lot of you revealed you have writing experience. Well, imagine this... Zod's photo skills and connections, writing from Huddlers, my design skills, and everything that IS The Huddle all rolled into a 50 page Monthly magazine!!!

 

Me and Mrs. M3OW have been brainstorming all day, and I even threw together a sample cover and table of contents. Take a look...

ch_mag2_3_by_eastcoastsurfer12-d7ta2jk.j

 

 

Here is a break down of some of the sections we came up with:

 

Meet The Huddle - Would have a introduction to a Huddler/Fan, a section for opinions, and a Q&A.

 

Kitten of the Month - A two page spread with a new Kitten each month. Pictures, profile, and more.

 

Under the Helmet - This is where Zod will have to pull some strings and try to get a player interview. 

 

On The Field - This is the section where we would have detailed analysis about the team (X's & O's) and whatnot.

 

The Growl - Panthers news for the month, including roster changes, scores, ect.

 

The Buzz - Section for all things Charlotte Hornets

 

Tailgate Tails - Section for recipes, tips and tricks, stories, and maybe even beer reviews for tailgating.

 

The Lounge - Pretty much a section for the off-topic topics. Anything could got here.

 

Get Your Paws On - A section for cool stuff, their reviews, where to buy them, and so forth.

 

 

It would take some time, effort, and dedication for the people involved. But this could take off. I'm working for a magazine in NC right now and know the ins-and-outs of what it takes to get this off the ground and get it going. And (If memory serves me well) we even have a few salesmen in the Huddle if we ever got to the point we could sale advertisements. 

 

Just a thought. What do you guys think?

i don't think i've ever bought a magazine in my life, but if this had exclusive content and was integrated with its origin as an online forum (crowdsourcing for material through the boards and even referencing them when applicable) i would pay money for a subscription.

That is exactly what I believe it COULD be. It's also a plus that SOME of the people here have a better view on the team than the national media. So, it would be nice to have a "realistic" source if we can keep the homerism down to a containable level.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
