Norv on Sirius NFL Radio tonight...8PM

Polian was talking about the Panthers/panther sale when I started listening.  Only heard a couple of minutes.  One interesting thing he said was that a practice facility was in JR's original plans...and for some reason he later changed his mind.  Did not mention a reason.  Said Panther current practice facilities woefully inadequate.  (As we know)

There was not a great deal of substance. He did point out that his job is to adapt his system to the skills of his players. He did briefly answer a question related to Cam's accuracy issues. Predictably, he believes that Cam will be more consistent this year. He knows Cam is capable because he would have a period games where his QB rating was near or above 100. His goal is to reduce the games where that rating suffered.

I did note that when he was asked about CJ Anderson, he immediately reminded the host of Cameron Artis Payne and his abilities. He also mentioned McCaffery and his skills.

I did like how he mentioned that his son Scott was Cam's QB coach the 1st 2 years and has a lot of familiarity of the Chub system.

Plus like how he talks about adapting his style of play to what his players do best.  I also believe he knows how to do that.

I've said it before.  Norv will be the biggest off-season acquisition for the Panthers.   

Imagine the offense behind Cam's first two seasons instead of the protege we have the architect.

This time we have a defense to go with it.  

I agree. Like I said before, a record-setting season isn't just a pipe dream. 2015 could happen again, only this time, we will learn from the 2 we lost.

Now, I'm certainly not expecting that. But it wouldn't shock me to see the Panthers come out and obliterate those first few opponents in route to such a season.

I know a few years when the panthers we’re negotiating the upgrades with the city the panthers wanted money to build a practice facility but the city wouldn’t give them the money. Was that what he was referring to?

No, Polian was referring to the beginnings of the team.  He was the GM back then.

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
