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.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Pretty sure that a QB contract payday is all the competition any QB in this league needs, I don't think a competent backup is going to make them play any harder when the current situation wouldn't warrant the contract extension yet anyways. Your opening point in this post is also the problem, "Bryce has shown signs of improving", but that's still all he's shown, and he's only showing that because of just how bad he was to start his career. If he played like last season from the beginning and never improved one bit, then I actually think more fans would be ready to move on from him, which is what's weird.  It's like going from one of the biggest draft busts of all time into the 25th best QB in the league over 3 years means he deserves a long term $40+ million a year contract extension. Improvement shouldn't be the goal when the result of said improvement is still bottom of the league levels.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Yeah, but we've seen him do it. Just not often. I think that's the reason for the taller WRs. Would likely be a problem finding someone like Jimmy Horn in the mess.

      And the Rams, Seattle, Patriots, Green Bay, Jaguars and the Bills who all made the playoffs and in case you forgot, Seattle and the Patriots played in the SB. By any measure, that's pretty brutal.
