I envy OP's available time in life.

i'm in grad school, work 50-80 hours a week, manage rental properties, and raise a 2-year-old. writing about the panthers is an enjoyable way for me to relieve enormous amounts of pressure, but establishing deadlines for myself by writing a weekly column has actually intensified things a little bit. i'm taking this thing seriously though, which is why i stayed up until 4am last night to finish the article, at the expense of a full night of sleep.

i admit i sure as hell miss the days when i was 11 and could read, re-read, and re-re-read books like thunder below.

For half a second, I thought about going to Saints report to post this there, then I remembered that I hate going to Saints report and all of them are lurking on this far superior fan site any way.

i just registered for an account over there. i don't wanna use my troll account because i'd actually like to get a few of their opinions on the schematics i've laid out. they seem to have a pretty high opinion of the MLB and OLB i highlighted, so i'm interested to see if they've tracked things i haven't noticed or if they're just a bunch of dumb taints fans that think everyone on that team is a minor deity.

I was a sonar girl too! In A school we got to pick Q-5 or GSSM for our C school - I picked GSSM because I wanted a boomer out of Groton near home just a bit more then I wanted a fast boat, ended up the only 2 Groton billets were snagged by the top 2 guys in the class, I was number 4 or 5 so I ended up in Charleston, the last place I wanted to be in the world really, but still had a good time.

They had done away with going straight to C school from A school when I went through, you only got C school if you reenlisted. I was third in my class and picked the Christi because I heard she was doing a yard stint and then moving homeport from Groton to to San Diego, and I really wanted a boat out of San Diego. Ended up in Guam though, but I did get to go to Q-5 C school while we were i the yards without reenlisting because we needed one more tech for the re-homeport underway, so it worked out great for me!

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...

      There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
