I'm getting ready to start the day at the crack of noon and was reading how Charlotte is getting ready for the hyped game Monday night. You know what I don't see much of anymore? Panther flags flying on cars this weekend. What's up with that? You always see the college support but we need more Panther flags flying like in 2003. Come on rock it Charlotte and surrounding!

I did a little research survey...on my way from Charlotte to Boone...I-85-->321 (2 Hours)

I tallied every time I saw some sort of support for an NFL team on a car. There were a little more than a dozen teams represented, but only 3 teams had more than 1 (Dallas - 3, Buffalo - 2, Pittsburgh - 2) The Panthers had somewhere close to 30, can't remember if it was under or over. That was what I saw, but I have a good eye, two good eyes...

In Boone, I've been seeing a lot of Panthers stickers/decals on cars....I have a front plate...this week I've had my flag hanging on the side windows....

Fooball, were you around when the Bucs went winless in those uggggly creamsicle jerseys? Yes after 30 years you have a Super Bowl, congrats...but you cannot erase the horrendous past that is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (same to you Falcons and Saints fans)

Dunno what I'm getting at but At least we've made winning a priority from day 1

Glad you asked....yes I was. Graduated high school in '74 in Orlando as a Dolphins fan. They were the only Florida team. When the Bucs came around in 76, I switched allegiance because they were geographically closer. I could see a home game by driving an hour and a half across Interstate 4 to the "Sombrero" and see a game live.

And tell PakersFan they use to out number us 3 to 1 IN TAMPA. But they were always cool, even though they out numbered us.

That's not the case anymore.....thank goodness.

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
