i have a huge interview friday. the good news is i'll still have my voice, the bad news is i'm going to flub the biggest interview of my life because i was doing panthers stuff all week leading up to it.

Just be loose, confident but humble, & don't use any big words. Srsly, no big words. You've got this.

Oh, you can refer any character references to www.huddle.com. We got your back. :) You are blocking @15 , right?

The Pride Rally was a nice touch today and a nice little bone for those of us who can't afford to go to Santa Clara. (Accepting donations)

 

Also I was on the hill on the far end of the field today and got to see a really cool play they were implementing before getting shooed off. I'll totally tell you about it if you wanna PM me but obviously won't say it here.

Has anyone else noticed the coverage is definitely shifted toward the Panthers?

I don't get NFL Network at work but ESPN is 80/20 easy.

I would guess it's because more people have actually watched the games now. And are thinking 'How did we miss this all year?'

People have a tendency to assume that analysts watch every game, and there are a few who do.

The majority probably watch somewhere from two to four games a week, and generally choose them by teams that are already hyped.  Heck. nobody much was watching Patriot games prior to them winning the Super Bowl either.

We win this thing, and sustain success, you'll see a lot more attention coming our way.

Of course, even if we do win, there'll be plenty of 'fall back to earth / Super Bowl hangover" speculation to start next season.

The more I think about it I don't really see the Seahawks losing a lot of their bandwagon, I just see two large bandwagons emerging and taking over, us and the Seahawks. People are going to be either team seahawks or team Panther. The AFC is just going to be that other group that sends teams to play either the Panthers or Seahawks in the superbowl (which will usually mean us).

Kinda like Team Edward or Team Jacob.

 

 

 

 

 

I don't actually know what those mean.  I just heard them somewhere...

I smell the headlines already.  Even this year, Cam and his numbers start slow but get better every month.  Happens every year.  I'd rather him be in a groove late in the year anyway so I'll take it.

I watched a second of practice over there too, but some lady on a golf cart chased me off. 

But i think they were working on defense at the time because the QB was yelling "Omaha!!"

    • 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 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.
