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.

      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

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean, but there is ample evidence that exists currently in the NFL and historically that if you have a talented or moderately talented team then one of the biggest upgrades you can make is at QB. It yields the biggest returns. I don't think even Prime Greg Olsen is going to make Bryce suddenly look like a stud QB. We have invested immense amounts of money on the OL and tremendous amounts of draft resources on WR's. And have added an additional extremely capable RB. At some point, the main problem is Bryce. We are at that point.  That being said, we don't need to go "Full Bryce" again and sell the farm to upgrade at QB. Be intelligent and patient. Try to get better by whatever means become available WHILE continuing to make the roster better. At the bare minimum, you slowly build an upper half of the NFL talented roster that is at least a potential draw for some free agent QB's. IMO, Bryce is clearly not the answer. I don't think anyone in our organization thinks that way but if they do, it's not the end of the world. Throw as many reasonable darts as you can through free agency and the draft until either you get a bullseye or a top 10-15 option becomes available in free agency.

      I think the best way to make Bryce better is to make everyone around him better.  This is why I advocate for a stud (top 5, eventually) TE.  I mean, when we have been a good franchise, we have had a stud TE (Walls, Olsen) and ILB (Beason, Mills, Morgan, Luke, etc) so it is in our DNA.  Expect us to address these areas this year.  (An Olsen or Walls would help Bryce a lot).  In terms of productivity, I think we are going to work with XL for one more season and ride the TMac / Coker momentum.  Where else could we find a position to improve productivity?  TE.  A position that caters to Bryce's style and shortcomings, a stud TE gives him another weapon he has not had. The Panthers run a lot of 2-TE sets (I have seen 3) and they have a blocker (Tremble) who is great in the run game, a balanced TE (Evans), and Sanders is supposed to be the pass-catching TE. He had 340 yards last season and he has about 170 this year.  If we are going to play around with XL for another season, it only makes up to add to Bryce's weapons in a way that does not put XL on the bench, basically ending his development. It makes sense to bring in a pass-catching dawg.  The way the offense is designed, I see carrying 4, but its not ideal. Having said that, I mentioned Oregon's Sadiq in another thread, but I am starting to warm up to Vanderbilt's Stowers and, in the Olsen/Walls mold, I kinda like Endries from Texas.  Of course, Stowers is probably going in round 2 and Endries in 3 or later. I still say, 5 months before the draft, that I would not be surprised if we take a TE very early.
