Carolina Huddle Magazine?

We're tossing that idea around.

Inside:

Photos of Huddle Kittens (of course)

Interviews with current and former players

statistics

recaps of some of the best Huddle discussions

columns by Huddle experts

It would be something very unlike ROAR Magazine. It'd focus on the Panthers (and probably Bobcats) primarily.

If you are interested in advertising, let me know.

Anyone interested in getting a year's subscription? We're probably talking a monthly at least until we get the first several issues under our belts.

Objectively speaking, I would go without the recap of huddle conversations... I'd like to read content from a very, very select few when it comes to hearing from huddle experts... I like the interviews with current and former players idea, I hope that can truly get worked out... Stats. Meh... if you're going to fill space with charts of numbers, I think it would be cool to see a new analysis of stats, other than the ordinary- make your own formula for a stat and stay consistent with it.

on the plus side: printing is dirt cheap right now

on the negative side: there's a reason it's dirt cheap, and that's that no one wants to read it anymore. you'd be better to do a subscription based blog.

but if you're dead set on this, pm about printing

jbro mentioned it. learn from cbsports when it comes to ad driven also.

Either get most of your money via ads(and they are going ask how many people currently are on the site) or stick with your bread and butter.

Gotta nail the value of someone reading it. Many mentioned what is free that is online.

Why do I want to read it?

Just putting my marketing hat on...good luck with whatever you guys do

Why print it? Why not add a premium feature to the site and charge for it and include the content you would put in the magazine. If you can't do that because of an agreement with sponsors of this site- link it to another seperate site and host it there. Printing seems a waste of money.

One of the reasons we're looking at this is the fact that the Panthers require a print publication (or being a TV station or radio station) to obtain credentials.

Since we're not going to have a TV Station or radio station any time soon, a print publication could be our inroads to obtaining and securing them.

I also think some things look better printed. I still like to read magazines.

Another reason is money. We've got an advertising deal with WCNC, and a magazine could be another way for us to create some revenue. More revenue means better resources (Video cameras, more sophisticated technology, paying contributors, etc) which ultimately results in a better experience for our visitors.

This is just one idea we're tossing around. Your feedback is greatly appreciated as we try to enhance the site and our community.

      Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.

      Defense is turning around?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
