I knew a guy who passed a couple of yrs ago who up to that point was the longest tp live with ALS. Like 16 yrs or so.

It always seems to get people who are very good athletes.

I wonder why that is? I knew a guy that went to school on a track scholarships that passed away from ALS. Weird correlation.....

Sad to hear.

Most ALS victims only suffer physically from the disease.

My favorite uncle, Tim, was one of the few that the disease stole his mind.. The last year if his life he was mentaly

an 8 year old, although he remembered being a much smarter man. He was often angry as you could imagine.

Such a terrible disease.

I miss my uncle Tim.

Prayers to Shaw and hus family.

Just donated today, not because anybody challenged me though

Steve Gleason's probably the most covered recent case. He had a special on the NFL network about his struggle. It's a fuging horrible disease you wouldn't wish on Hitler if he were still alive. I thought I read or watched something somewhere that said repeated concussions can trigger it, but I'm not sure. If true, it's probably the reason this has happened to a few NFL players who are still young. Lou Gehrig also apparently had at least a handful of pretty bad concussions in his career before his infamous diagnosis years ago.

      Look at the WRs in recent drafts around 19

      By frankw · Posted

      Unfortunately you just can't get through to some of these folks. The most successful season in Panthers history our #1 WR was Ted Ginn Jr who had just as many bone headed drops as he did highlight touchdowns. We already have the highest paid OL in the league two years running. We need a balanced roster more than anything else clearly.

      Pantherswire hypothetical trade down 19-22

      https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/04/06/nfl-draft-trade-rumors-panthers-chargers-quentin-johnston/89484524007/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=69d47a425bd91b00016ecfb1&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook Saw this hypothetical trade down scenario on Panthers wire where they had us dropping from 19 to 22 trade with the chargers which also knitted us the addition of Quinton Johnston personally I would take this deal because the players available at 22 and 19 are largely the same you could pick up maybe a tackle or even one of those defensive tackles that we liked like banks.  Grabbing a wide receiver who could probably replace legate and be a deep ball threat would be just what the doctor ordered in my opinion Yes he's kind of a reclamation project similar to legette but I think he's shown he can play and has more big game moments than legette. I think it would be like getting two for the price of one really allowing us to feel more holes getting a wide receiver and another spot filled for nothing but two or three draft spots.

      I saw a mock draft where Monroe Freeling falls to the Panthers at 19 and if that happens they'd better rush their card to the podium.
