never hated him.  he was a poor fit in our system and was drafted to play for a coach who would have rather taken a 3 wood to the balls than select him if he had a say in the matter.

 

he kept his head down and put in work when he was here.  the diva stuff never really materialized  and i don't remember him bitching to the media or throwing tantrums even in the absolute pits of the 2010 season.  even when it became clear that the one abortion of a season he got significant time in was going to be it for him and he was done as the panthers' starter the moment cam's name was called he adapted to the role.

I don't have any ill will towards kid pickle, glad he's making something out of his career.  He was a bad rookie, and didn't do anything with the chance he was given, and by the time he could have gotten it together, Cam had taken reign and redesigned the offense to one that he had no possibility of running effectively.  In the right system, I still think Clausen can be decent, but it wasn't gonna happen here.  Hell, Andy Dalton has the same skillset as Pickles, but he's in an offense built around his skills with an out of this world talent at receiver.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
