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!

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
