It's still surreal

I see the same thing...but I think about when they say we won it. I'm so confident in this team and organization. It's all I hear. Them crowning us. I know some people think that's taboo. IDFAF. I've felt blowouts for the playoffs and I feel it for this game too.

I've been in Philly since August this year. Entire time I've been here I've been walking around in Panthers gear. Before the season started, when we were 4-0, 8-0, 12-0, 14-0, all the way to now. Literally nobody outside of the bar I watched games at ever mentioned anything. I was in Boston for the weekend and flew back here yesterday and I've had literally 20+ people try to talk to me about the Panthers, and a couple accuse me of being a bandwagon. It's absolutely surreal. Being in the Super Bowl has really put us in the spotlight nationally.

The wife and I have been together for almost 25 years. For 24 and 1/2 of those years I had to fight to watch sports. Now, if something comes on talking about the Panthers, she lets me watch it. I don't have to go to my room and watch it, she watches it with me. She has even taken it upon herself to learn some football.

 

Not sure how I truly feel about this. Sports used to be my thing. Not sure I like sharing the Panthers. I mean, I love her to death. But part of me kinda want my Panthers back. Does that make me a bad guy?

I turn on the TV and see Super Bowl previews, and they're talking about my team. 

On all the sports channels and sports radio, Panther players are all over the place.

I'm still processing that we're going to the Super Bowl.

You remember that post you made in All Pro last year during the down times looking at possible assistants for our next coach:

Gary Kubiak...? Crazy that we're now playing his team in the Super Bowl under Rivera.

I was laughing about that recently.

There is not much work getting done by me these 2 weeks.

Im spending 79% of my day refreshing various sports sites for new articles, 20% looking/begging for sb tickets, and 1% everything else.

Yeah, "productive" is not gonna be an adjective for me for the next few weeks.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
