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.

    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen. 
    • Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.
    • Look at his snap counts, your telling me that his entire college and pro football career every coach he has had has misused him? No offense but I don’t think you understand the role of a slot corner. Mike Jackson is the literal definition of an outside zone corner, he would be totally inept as a slot corner. Ala why he has been an outside corner his entire career.
