Epic Unfollows of Ghosts of Panthers Past

I was on the twitter as the kids call it, and saw a suspect tweet...  So, I read it.  It was uninformative and virtually useless to me and my existence, much like you're feeling as you're reading this thread right in this moment.  It may have been about something to do with salad dressing and Canada.  I don't know.  I don't care.  I looked up at the name, and it read:

Eric Norwood

Memories of hope came rushing through my cranium as synapses were firing off.  Seasons of hope lost.  Mid-round draft picks wasted.  And in that moment, I asked myself a simple question:  "Why am I following this Eric Norwood?"

And so a decision was made in an instant...  I clicked unfollow.  Just as you are contemplating breaking your left-clicker spamming the back button of your browser as your eyes continue along this line of text.

So, my question to you is, what ghosts of Panthers past do you continue to follow or have you considered unfollowing?  If you're still following them, why?  If you unfollowed, why?  Do you have a criteria deciding who stays and who goes out of former Panthers?  Anyone pop up recently you had forgot you were following?

Interesting enough, I still follow former "kicker" Adi Kunalic.  Why?  I have no idea, but I think it's because he has now become some type of multi-level marketing master and is constantly tweeting out motivational, hypnotic, cult-like propaganda on how to be a better manager and salesman.  I don't know why, because it doesn't apply to me in any way, but I find it fascinating, so I still haven't deleted him.

Offseason threads, enjoy.  Proudiddy, go home, you're not drunk.

LOL, did not know that.  I don't think I followed him on twitter, but I still do on Facebook and seeing him in the Stillers garb made me want to vomit.  And yet, I find myself completely unmoved by it (compared to seeing Smitty in Raven's crap).

there was actually a 60 second discussion about it on sports nation or pardon the interruption or one of those shows about whether or not it was a dick move by the panthers to unfollow him so soon. One of the guest hosts was like what do they care? They don't need to have their social media people worrying about what he tweets anymore. Couldn't believe a Twitter unfollow was even discussed on TV for any length of time.

LOL, such is the current state of media, but funny nonetheless.

I keep my follows current as to keep up with breaking news.  Not a Panther or a sports writer that covers the panthers or a panther fan that tweets about the panthers?  Not gettin a follow here bro.  Oh and if you get cut by the team or traded you get cut from the twitter.  I'm harsh but fair.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
