Cancer Patient Hopes to Meet Panther

This is the brother-in-law of one of my co-workers, so I was going to post this when I had a chance.  I'm glad to see that someone already did.  I'm hoping word of this will get back to the team and someone will be able to make a trip up to Salisbury to make this happen.

It was first shared by Spectrum. I emailed and called my PSL concierge about this as soon as I saw it on Thursday

she took it to the Panthers Community Relations dept and said they had just heard about it and we're going to try and do something for him.  she did share that sadly the Panthers get many of these types of requests and typically they do not do player visits during the season

i have seen  many of these types of stories, I am not sure why this one moved me to call the Panthers about it

 Maybe it is because despite all he has been through, he still has the simple joy with  the game of football and the innocent love of a pro team.

we all had that love once before we all became experts and jaded by the lives of the players and the NFL big business spin

i really hope someone can give him this gift

Update on this for anyone interested:  Mike passed away on Saturday.  

that sucks. this is the first i'd seen this thread so i didn't notice that it was an older one. your response kind of took me by surprise.

not sure if it would help, but let your coworker know that there were people here thinking about them.

fug man, why can't we cure all cancer by now.

My guess is there's more money to be made "searching" for a cure than actually having one.   Don't underestimate the greed of drug companies and so called non-profit organizations.

    • Playing around with mock draft simulator this is probably my favorite one yet All the Super tantalizing potentials were off the board at 19. Proctor was there but I really question if he can hold up at OT in the NFL at his size. I think speed rushers might put him in a blender. I was definitely willing to move down to pickup mire capital. There's an obvious focus on the trenches in this draft. If you can own the LOS you can win a lot of games. Hell, the Seahawks just won a SB doing just that. Iheanachor oozes potential. He has all the physical tools to end up being the beat OT in this class but he's pretty raw having not been playing football long. Well worth it with the first pick in the 2nd. Christen Miller is listed as a DT here but he'd play DE in our defense. Not a lot of people are talking about it focusing on LB instead but our DEs suck too. Lawson should be a day one starter at MLB. His NFL ceiling might be more good than great but that's fine. He's smart, he's capable, and he was the QB in that Bama defense. That's what we need. If you want to runaway 3-4 defense, you need a dog at NT. We don't have one. Orange can be that. He's not gonna pile up stats on his own but that's not the point of a NT. The point of a NT is to make everyone else's job easier.  Slaughter is a potential starting center. Maybe not as a rookie but he could potentially be the long-term answer. I'm never going to give up on my dream of the Panthers having a true sideline to sideline ball hawking FS. Safety wasn't high on my list but Bud Clark was too tempting to pass up. At the very least he's a guy who should earn a role on 3rd and long obvious passing down type situations.  Kevin Coleman is exactly the type of slot WR type we need working the underneath and muddle with T-Mac and Coker on the outside.  TJ Hall is just a dog and he's experienced playing outside and at nickel. He can cover and he's not afraid to step up against the run. He should be able to earn a roster spot as he hopefully develops as an NFL player. Nwaiwu is another development type pick with the advantage of having experience playing both LG and RG in college. At this point in the draft you're likely looking at guys projected as career backups and the more versatile you are as a backup the more roster value you have. I packaged two late rounders together to move io to secure Allar who has all the physical tools you want in a QB and has largely been forgotten since he missed a lot of games down the stretch this year. If he didn't he'd likely be a mid-round pick. He might still end up being a mid-round pick. If I could get him as a developmental guy in the 6th I'm doing that all day.
    • Honestly thought Ickey was fairlt average. That's just based on the eye test. I haven't seen any grades or anything to base that on. Usually when the QB was pressured, it seemed like it was coming from the LT or RG. 
    • Its actually easier than the one we played this season of you compared 2025 win pct.of opponents.
