The Battle of the Beards 2014 - Round 1

[Jeremy Igo]

While other websites are concerning themselves with the usual reporting of seemingly important Panthers news, we at the huddle focus on things that get to the heart of what makes a man great.

 

That is, of course, his beard.

 

 

The winner moves on to round the next round. Single elimination, go strong or go home.

 

The winner of the beard contest will be presented with a grooming kit worthy of such a masterful piece of face art.

 

 

ROUND 1

 

 

Ryan Kalil vs Trai Turner

 

 

 

 

The wiley veteran against the young upstart.

 

Judge beards on growth, style, and character. What does the beard say about the man and does it ring true?

Kalil.. While the young mans beard game is strong it's no match for the veteran

[DecrypticShadow]

Ryan "The Mountain Man" Kalil has this in the bag.. It's not even a competition.

and are you gonna do a write up of today's practice?

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Hmm....Kalil's is rugged and free-spirited, while Turner's is strictly groomed and authoritative. Turner's is the beard of a man who wants to inflict his will on someone else, fitting for an offensive guard looking to open holes in the run game. Kalil's is a beard of experience, one that comes from training his focus and skills on things far more important that something as simple minded as shaving, and that experience and wisdom is what makes him a fantastic leader of the offensive line and makes those around him better for it.

Strong entries, but Kalil is of course the winner simply because Turner's beard is greatness projected while Kalil's is greatness achieved.

You people crack me up.

[YoungPanthers89]

I'll give this round to the Trojan

 

 

But watch out for young Trai to make a run once he gets past his ridiculous age

[Black]

Kalil, hands down. 

[Toundra]

Kalil finally won something, :D

[SOJA]

Kalil but don't count out Turner down the road, that kid has potential 

[philp]

I'm not a fan of the no mustache beard. Kalil all the way.

[L-TownCat]

Kalil's beard says nature is unkempt and uncontrollable. The force it wields is unmatched in the known universe. In a matted mess of manliness, Kalil's beard pays homage to that which cannot be contained.
