I am considering adding a feature to the huddle for members who enjoy writing but want a way for the public to keep up with their articles in an easier fashion. 

Huddle blogs would be a separate section but work seamlessly with the huddle. You would have your own link with your articles like any other blog, but huddlers could read and comment without making a new account or such. We would feature the better blog posts on the main page and in the forum. If you are looking to build a name for your writings, the huddle would provide a boat load of traffic to it. 

It is an extra purchase for me, so I just wanted to gauge interest before investing. Please vote in the poll.

This is a hell of a concept. We have several people here that IMHO write better than most of the beat writers do to include Jeremy.

 

I think we can really make it worthwhile if we could select people like PhillyB, Mr Scott and a few others to dissect each game by position group much like we adopt players.

Say for example, somebody used to play O-Line or WR, while not an expert at that position necessarily it would work if they broke down a particular position group. I think this would be a better way to educate Huddlers and the common fan alike.

I'm all for this idea, and will even become All-Pro to help curb the cost.

This could really be some cutting edge stuff that can further set apart The Huddle from the rest of sports forums. Jeremy, you are a trail blazer bro. Glad to be apart of this, even though I suck for the most part.

while I realize that people like PU would be making blogs, I still think this would be a good idea. I like to post original game previews and it takes up more space than some huddlers want to read in a forum thread. a blog would give me the opportunity to post my write ups with the condition pre-set that it would be a long post.

I hope we do this Jeremy

Sure.  I'm ready to read all the crappy articles that Fairweather Joe puts out once Cam throws an interception, or CJ has under 8 sacks by the midway point of the season.

But for real though, yeah.  Even though you know there's inevitably going to be so many shitty articles it'll make Bleacher Report look like Grantland, there are at least a few intelligent and insightful posters who would make it worth while - assuming they post that is.

Give the minions a false sense of ownership.

Damm Igo, another good, on paper, idea. No resting on those laurels on your part. Very open minded, thinking of all angles, always looking for an edge, and all the while, never forgetting to allow the troops input type thinking of you.

 

That said. I would consider righting one of those blog thingys for you. You can count on me not to let you down. And would take the responsibility as serially as the position allows.

 

Also, I still am unable to purchase an ALL-Pro membership.

Funny, over the last year and a half I've written countless "articles" disguised as "comments" but deleted them because I figured no one wanted to read 3 paragraphs (or even 1) on what I was thinking. This would be awesome and I would jump at the opportunity. 

Really hope this comes to fruition.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
