I was hoping all these freak accidents and stuff would not continue over into this season. The past week we have Martin retiring suddenly, Coach Ron's brother dies, Hill gets busted, now this. I'm not liking this.

look at it this way...we're getting our poo stuff out of the way before training camp

Yeah, after a quiet "no news is good news" and/or "the Panther news (Cam's contract signing) is good news" offseason, this week has been full of the kind of news we don't really want.  So much distraction just on the eve of camp.  Though at least there's NOTHING remotely like last year's Hardy fiasco.  That was the distraction to end all distractions really, especially given the uncertainty of not knowing his status for awhile, thus not being able to effectively build our defense.

You know, I've been thinking about the fact that Braylon (the kid with cancer) will be the honorary coach at Fan Fest, and how Ron's brother just died of pancreatic cancer.  Hopefully those two events combined at the start of this season will help our team to keep a wise perspective on what really matters, and maybe they'll play with a passion to honor those who show daily what real courage and real victory is in the face of trials like cancer.

Still nowhere as weird or shitty as SF's offseason though

lol at the #changingmyunderwearnow.  he has good humor about it.

Charles has a pretty good sense of humor in general.  Dude is pretty funny.  No clue whether its been posted anywhere here before or not, but this interview on HQ is pretty funny:

Great locker room presence.  Just hoping he's got some tread left on those tires.

Following Twitter, just beginning to realize how huge a star Peanut Tillman really is.  #Panthers are #3 trending topic in Chicago, and it's probably because of Tillman.  I think he is a huge PR plus for the Panthers even before he plays a snap!

Got a great chuckle out of this #Pantherscamp tweet I just saw:

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
