oh yeah speaking of which, everyone go read this awesome blog post by @Moorgan and help me decide whether or not i've ripped off his brilliance yet again

Ha! Mine had nothing to do with football. You're blending of the narratives is a skill all your own. I'm reminded of DJ Danger Mouse and the Grey Album. Jay Z and the Beatles merged? Brilliant and unique. Bravo my friend.

You're in Huddle country. We remember preseason games in intimate detail.

My first reaction to your accusation was "Hyperbole!".

then just as quickly I remembered Cams first start against the Bengals.  His first rushing TD where he bulldozed that DB to get in the end zone.  Buying his Reebok jersey in the team store for me and a 00 onesie for my newborn son.

so, uh, good call.

Preseason Game 1 at home against the Giants. This was the NFL debut of one Cam Newton (2nd on the depth chart behind the mighty Jimmy Clausen) who had a mediocre showing leading a couple of field goal drives.

Highlight of the night was rookie receiver Kealoha Pilares juking Giants' Ninth stringers out of their shoes en route to a 35 yard touchdown off of a Derek Anderson pass. We were crowning Pilates as the eventual replacement for Steve Smith and debating whether or not Cam should sit a year while DA was the starter the next week.

Good times.

This one is indeed personal.  It ain't just the team, it's the fanbase that I hate.  I hate Dallas fans like they hate proper hygiene, humility, football knowledge, grammar, critical and argumentative thinking, and map literacy. 
If they're America's team, well, NC seceded once.  If being a fan of that team makes one American, count me damned proud to not be one then.

The hell with Dallas, the hell with the Redskins, and the hell with the media. 

If Carolina plays with my intensity right as of this moment, you can proceed to call us the Chicxulub Panthers and you can call the Dallas Victims fossils.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
