I hated the Mayo pick, but can't wait to see him "tag (some) fanny"

Dave Gettleman must love some Mayo, adding to an already arguably deep stable of quality linebackers as opposed to addressing another position of need.  But after reading the AP's Steve Reed's article, there's definitely enough depth to David Mayo to see why Gman drafted him.

 

If nothing else, David Mayo is driven. You can see it in in the way that he decided to take the road less traveled and earn a better scholarship while living in a basic shed, furnished with little more than a mattress, while attending community college in Cali. I guess there are worse places to further your education and play football than Santa Monica, but having the only electricity provided by an extension cord that you ran from your landlord's house, as well as no running water, would get quite old for most of us.  That being said, he met his objectives of earning the attention of a D1 school, went on to Texas State and made the impression that he knew he could make.  He bet on himself, and a man that bets on himself and wins is not a man that you likely won't to bet against. 

 

"It was pretty crazy, but it was where I felt that I needed to play to earn my Division I scholarship that I felt I deserved," Mayo said. "I knew I could play at (that level). I just did whatever it took."

 

 

GMs obviously knocked Mayo for playing in the Sun Belt Conference, but Mayo still showed up like a "boss" (the same word he referenced Luke Kuechly) by amassing  an amazing 154 tackles his last year at the school.  He had to be tagging a lot of fanny to get to that number, a lot of fanny indeed. 

 

Mayo was obviously a men among boys, and even though I still believe that he'd have been available after the draft and would have signed with the Panthers, I guess Dave Gettleman didn't want to take any chances.  Mayo looks to be part of Gman's recipe for success.

OTAs: May 26-28, June 2-4, June 8-11

 

Minicamps: June 16-19

 

Going on last year, Fanfest will probably kick off training camp in the last week of July through to mid August. 

 

 

Not sure you can go by next year. 

 

 

Fan Fest was pushed up because of that soccer game at BOA that took place on the traditional fan fest date. 

 

 

Probably back to normal this year.

Well, JR wanted Panthers fans to be the first to see the new features at BofA. If FF had been at it's normal times, the soccer fans would have had first dibs.

 

That isn't the case this year.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
