Two experts pick against the Panthers

Normally, the Huddle would revel in the Panthers being seen as an underdog, making claims of how the team seems to do better when flying under the radar and what have you. But, going into the game on Sunday against a winless Saints team who seem to have players dropping left and right to injury (including their beloved quarterback and maybe a star receiver), Panthers fans the world over seem to have cast off their superstitions over being too boastful and are calling for a full scale bloodbath at the miserable New Orleans squad's expense. For my part, I have no doubt that one of the multiple embarrassments due to the Saints since they decided to use us to pad their record book many moons ago will be played out at B of A this weekend. And I'll be laughing all the live long day as it happens.

However, there are two people out there poised to appear as geniuses should the Panthers manage to beat themselves and allow the Saints to walk out of Charlotte with a win. The Panthers official website rounds up a collection of "expert" picks for the winners of each Panthers game from around the interwebs. I like going through them all, if for no reason other than hopefully the collective websites notice a small uptick in traffic when their story involves my favorite team. In going through this weeks collection of picks, it seemed as if every single person who's opinion was published was picking the Panthers to win, by anywhere from a 6 to 20 point margin. All but two. Let us now highlight these brave individuals, willing to stick their necks out because apparently the Saints were supposed to be good, the Panthers were supposed to be bad, and there's no way this is real life.

First, ESPN's Mike Golic stands out from the crowd by boldly predicting the Saints will triumph in the face of adversity. Next. someone named "Schalter" on Bleacher Report, who I could not be bothered to make any effort to find any information because it's fuging Bleacher Report, also declare that the Saints shall win. Outside of the Saints' moronic fanbase, these are the only living human beings that I can find relying on pre-determination and delusion when looking at this game.

This should be noted and admired. And laughed at.

Anyone that has listened to 10 seconds of Mike and Mike knows Golic is a fugging idiot.

Golic is known for going opposite whatever Greeny says and vice-versa. Not as bad as the guys on first take, but pretty close. 

You know "coach speak?" Yeah this is basically vanilla talk show rhetoric. So sick of ESPN I can't even take it anymore. Sure, I'm a homer at heart, but the media bias against most of my favorite teams here in the Carolinas is borderline downright hater-ade and its unbearable.  

Id rather just stay here on the Huddle and rewatch my teams play, sometimes that even gets annoying because of the mental-midget announcers I have to endure. So there goes the mute button and and I don't even get to hear the crowd's cheering.

Blech

      I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

      By 45catfan · Posted

      So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.

      I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.

      Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
