Ever watch a cat play with it's prey? That's what I want  to see today.

Pin them down, let them get away once or twice to give them a sense of hope. After a couple of repetitions of this, the prey knows how it's going to end, and they give up.

Maybe it's a bit cruel, but it's part of a cat's nature, and can no more be changed than the inevitability of today giving way to tomorrow.

I have been holding this in for awhile, so I feel I must let this loose. I joined the huddle the year Cam came to Carolina. Yes, I am that fan! I must begin by saying like Zod; I am a photographer, mostly sports and entertainment, but on a much lower level. I have spent time photographing nationally ranked high school and D2 football. It is what is close to me don't judge me. I had the opportunity to photograph Julio Jones playing at Roman Harper's old high school. Needless to say I have seen transcendent talent.

I watched Cam's amazing season at Auburn, and even as a Alabama resident, I had to give much respect to this guys accuracy, and resilience as a college athlete. I started researching Cam, reading the articles about his volunteering while in Auburn, about his transformation at Blinn, about his deeds at Florida, backing up The Golden Calf of Bristol etc.

I have to say this young man has really impressed me with his desire to win and his work ethic. I know a lot of people hated him for reason's unknown to all of us, but even a light inspection of his past reveals, he is just a big overgrown happy kid/young man.

As a new Carolina fan, I have had to like Cam endure losing, I hate it as much as he does. This team frustrated me for years, with its mediocrity and questionable coaching decisions. Like most Americans, I wanted my wins and I wanted them now. I had to deal with the subtle and sometimes bitter Cam hatred from certain Huddlers and the media when the team wasn't successful. But all along I kept believing that we had not yet seen the best that Cam had to offer.

I watched the Huddle pull itself together to win the greatest uniform of all kind contest, I viewed other forums, and started to realize, that despite the team not performing, the huddle was among the best, most informed team website in the country. Huddlers constantly providing articles, research, abstract paintings, toilet reading material, and inspirational stories.

I had hoped that one day this team could play up to the website of the this fanbase, and then this season happened. Just when I thought, oh no we are screwed again. This team started to perform at its best. We are now 10-0 poised on the edge of the playoffs, and we finally seem to really have come together as a team. What an awesome experience to be a part of. In the process I am no longer just a Cam Fan, I am a Carolina Panthers Fan!

Beating Dallas today would be the icing on the cake that took five years to make!

Heading to the airport, hopefully there are no delays. 

I don't know how I forgot this but I hope you have your family with you. If not thanks so much for doing this on thanksgiving and being away from your family Jeremy. I think I speak for everyone when I say it means a lot to all of us.

      Many of those posters are still around. The ones who compared him to hall of famers in this and other sports. They're just biding their time waiting to see if Bryce will suddenly turn into a great QB. I think the way you frame it indicates the problem. It's either on one side people who as you put it "don't like him" (in most instances impossible to truly know on an anonymous chat board) or people who need to see him with stacked talent to form a conclusion after hyping up as a one man show a year ago. You say there are discussions to be had but if it involves anything remotely on the side of negative instead of the "everything is awesome" end of the spectrum it is met with talk of what some are now describing as a pathological need to be critical of him. As if the rest of the sports world doesn't have these same blunt discussions whenever he is mentioned. If there were truly other more notable discussions to be had right now that haven't also been discussed endlessly we would be having them. We just had yet another uniform thread. Instead the top 2 threads dominating the front page for the last 24 hours since the first blueprint episodes dropped have revolved around the starting QB. That's just the modern NFL. Some people want to shoot the messenger over that because they don't like the banter that follows 🤷‍♂️

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

      By rayzor · Posted

      #1 thing you need for any rookie QB (as far as personnel goes) is the OL. Second thing you need is a run game that takes the pressure off the rookie and allows him a chance to grow. run games are just easier to manage for someone still learning the ropes. third thing you need is reliable bail out option receivers who can 1) get open and/or 2) just catch the ball. last year we had none of that in place. this year i think we've gotten together everything that he should have had last year.

      Seriously? That's 34 air yards at best. I have yet to meet a Bryce defender who doesn't have laughably low standards by which they judge QB play.
