This is going to be kind of odd timing, given the other thread, but hey...

I'm retiring from the boards.  Fun as it's been, and as big a Panther fan as I still am, I think it's time for me to follow Jared Allen's example and ride off into the sunset.

To be clear, I'm not mad at anybody. I'm not upset about anything. I just have a lot going on with my family, primarily that my brother is dying. So I've decided to drop out of the online stuff for a while. Maybe permanently.

It's been fun talking football with everyone, though after getting married - and gaining two teenage kids in the process - I have far less time to talk football and other things. Other priorities have to take precedence now. Many of you will understand.

I'll likely be on the rest of the day just to say farewell but once I log off I won't be back.

I wish everyone the best. And always, always, always, go Panthers.

We haven't always agreed on everything, but I can honestly say that I think the Huddle will miss having you around.

Sorry to hear about your brother. I'll send positive thoughts your way.

Good luck to you in/with everything and maybe you'll get a chance to check back in down the road.

Sorry to hear about your brother @Mr. Scot.  I personally will miss your contributions here.  There has been a steady decline in the quality of posts on here.  So much so that I have almost decided to walk away myself.  When @SCP and @PhillyB stopped posting their weekly edicts on opposing teams this place lost a lot of luster for me.  And now you're leaving also, what will happen to this joint? 

Anyway, sorry about your brother.  Prayers be with your family in this time of sorrow.  Keep Pounding old friend.

Sorry to hear about your brother. Sending my wishes to you and your family. I've enjoyed your content for the short time I've been around this joint. You're probably one of my favorite users on the Huddle.

Hope everything goes as well as it can for you. Thanks for all you've done.

    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
