I hate the recognition

Been waiting since 03 for this and thought I would love the attention, and all of our players deserve it... But don't sit here and talk about Thomas Davis like its his first year in the league. Don't try and sell the world on Stewart when besides injuries he's always been a bruising back. Don't try and tell me the play of our oline was a complete shocker (It was the main cog in us making the playoffs last year). Don't tell me Cam is immature with his 'antics' when in fact he's grown as a leader in all aspects. Don't now try and backtrack (8-8 or 6-10 predictions all preseason when KB went down) and say our WR's are all playmakers now. Philly Brown was solid last year, Ted Ginn was solid for us two years ago, and Cotch has been solid since he got here. Am I being a negative human being or do I just really dislike Heath Evans?

You're talking to the bandwagoneers and not the true fans, right?

We all had our trepidations when the season started especially when KB went down. But we've followed this team closely and we all know what they are about. We know the strengths and weaknesses. So I'll give a pass to the media for finally jumping on board.  They are finally realizing what we've known for a long time.

We're in the Super Bowl for the first time in a bit over a decade. We've had some pretty rough years in between appearances. We play in a small market. We're in the NFC South, which is made up of small market teams. With the exception of Cam Newton, we've pretty much made our reputation on no names and retreads.

We haven't been title winners like the Patriots, Packers or Steelers. We don't have overpaid stars all over the roster like Dallas. We also haven't been dumpster fire organizations like Cleveland or Detroit.

So yeah, no one really knows much about us. Big deal. We haven't been attracting that much media attention until recently, for better or for worse. But honestly, why does the media attention matter? Real football fans already have a team allegiance. Media hype just brings on board bandwagoneers and those newly acquainted with the sport. We aren't exactly going to get lifelong Packers fans to give up the green and gold, yanno?

Let's just revel in the moment and not really care about getting the respect of other folks. This is our team's time.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
