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.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
