Dear everyone,

The last couple of weeks have been absolutely exhausting. I've spent every night since Christmas up until 5am alternately writing, editing, and painting in order to provide you all with the highest-quality product we can muster. It's been incredibly tough but also deeply rewarding. Of course, we've had a lot of help along the way from incredible and generous friends, without whom this project never would've gotten off the ground. Thank you, guys and girls.

 And without further ado, we present Fifteen and 1: An Unofficial and Unfiltered History of Professional Football in Carolina.

Here are a few things you should note.

1) Fifteen and 1 is published through Amazon's platform, but you do NOT need a Kindle to read it. Any device - computer, tablet, phone - will do. Downloading it on any of those devices will simply prompt you to download the free Kindle Reader app, which takes like two seconds. In a pinch you can always download it here.

2) The book is composed of nearly 60,000 words. This is the length of a novel. That means you're about to read more about the Panthers than you've ever read in your life, all in one place for the first time. Before now there was no comprehensive guide to the Carolina Panthers; that changes today.

3) Due to licensing laws we were limited in how we could present this thing, both on the cover and in content. This means our cover doesn't use the franchise's name, nor explicitly represents a trademarked logo, copyrighted name, or otherwise licensed object or person (in case you were wondering why it doesn't say Panthers.)

4) If you enjoy the book, please leave it a five-star rating AND write a review (AFTER you've read the entire thing.) THIS IS IMPORTANT! A review doesn't have to be long, but written reviews (even if they're a sentence, or a line) do worlds of good for new authors. And remember criticism isn't a bad thing as long as it's not slanderous. Basically treat it like you would any book.

5) Feel free to discuss the book here in any fashion, be it positive or negative. However, please refrain from posting giant chunks of content here, since we're trying to incentivize people to download it. Also please refrain from being common asshats if the thought had crossed your mind.

Lastly, purchasing the book through the following link will let the Huddle benefit from your download, at no cost to you, and help keep this place running.

Happy reading!

please also note there are still minor updates taking place related to formatting; if you don't see the new cover right away, give it a few minutes and it'll show up. the table of contents may be glitching too, but it doesn't affect content.

seriously, thanks everyone!

Philly I have to say I'm very impressed so far.  I'm only on chapter 8 but I have no doubt I'll be done with this book in a day or two.  I'm an avid reader and can be pretty unforgiving when it comes to what I invest my time reading.  

To all huddlers you should buy this even if you aren't a big reader.  I know a lot about the Panthers and have been a die hard since day one but I'm learning things I never knew in every chapter.

This has been a fantastic read so far.  I've got to make the uptown lemonade.  Riot did a fabulous forward.  I had forgotten a lot of the early years such as Reich and the mascots shaking the goal posts.  You also brought back some painful memories of the bad years.  I'll probably finish this tonight.  Great job.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
