November 22, 2013,

 

I made the decision to propose to the love of my life.  It was both the best day, and the single most important moment of my life.  Fast forward to the Summer of 2014.  We had begun phase 1 of the planning, which included inquiring about caterers, photographers, etc.  And then it struck.  My fiancée got word that her mother was diagnosed with cancer.  That put everything on hold.

 

When I was 15, I lost my father to cancer.  I knew all too well the feeling of shock, and denial, when hearing this for the first time.  We consoled each other.  We stayed strong.  Her mother fought, with the entire family by her side.  And…she won!  In fact, we all became winners.  She has been cancer free for several months.  However, the financial hit from paying medical bills has put us in a bind.  We have come up short on funding for our wedding, which is May 30th.

 

So, why do we need your help?  My fiancée and I have been selected in the top 10 of a contest to win a LOT of stuff, including chair rentals, photography, and other décor options.  To win this contest, we need to have the most likes on our picture.  I know what happens then the huddle unifies.  If we made the panthers black uni’s the GOAT, could we please help my fiancée and I to be able to have our wedding on May 30th?

 

My fiancée, her mother, and I are all HUGE panther’s fans.  We attend a few games a year, but watch EVERY game.  I have been on this board for several years now, posting occasionally, but mainly just lurking.  I love this board, and although we have the most over dramatic fan base in the NFL, I wouldn't want to be a part of another community  I need the huddle's help.  We need your help!

Please, if you could give us just a few moments of your time by clicking the facebook link below and giving us a like and/or sharing the picture.  It'd mean the world to us to have support from fellow panther fans!  And as the poster says, there will be pie for all!  The winner will be the photo that has the most combined likes/shares, etc.

I wish you the best, but really all you need is each other...the "things" really don't matter in the long run.

 

I appreciate your words man, and you are absolutely right.  We don't "need" anything, but she deserves to have the wedding that she's dreamed of!

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
