Maybe it's you. Go outside and get off the forum a few minutes a day. Get a hobby. Make a friend.

This can be said to anyone who uses the internet regularly since all of us are guilty of being addicted to this technology. So basically the entire world you me and him included. The banter here is fairly tame by comparison with the rest of social media minus discourse on politics.

Luckily when actual football starts, the crybaby crowd will just be minor background noise as opposed to the loudest minority in the forum. Sort of the the rest of the social media/media world. The loudest people drown out the reasonable voices.

And we won't have to worry about the couple of player hopping additions, they will all go away shortly. Same as every other "player" fan that surfs over from a college team or NFL franchise. I think @Toomers is literally the only one that actually stuck around any length of time.

When the actual football start, the negative nancies will tone it down... at least at first...

Something like, "go Sam!   See I was a fan all along even though I derided the coach and QB and management the whole offseason."

....until we lose or there's a sack or interceptions then it will be: "see I told you so, I'm so smart".

This place will be filled with those who want to cheer on their team.

Well that's the average fanbase that isn't a perennial championship contender. It's why shameless bandwagoning is so common in sports.

You can defiantly learn a lot about someone by how they react to the actual games. Even the preseason ones are not immune to emotional over-reactions. 

 

But hey, that's fan life in a nutshell.

I mean, a random Thursday in Spartanburg will have people digging in to a narrative.  That's just the huddle.  It is the way.

Why you got to be douches to someone who wants to cheer for the Panthers?..as if you are some superior form of fan because you were here longer or you didn't follow a QB.

Why waste your time coming on Pather's fan site  to rip on the QB and on people who support the QB?  What kind of person does that?  

 

I've been a panthers since the beginning. 

But we're here to discuss football. The hand ringing anytime someone says anything not 100% positive about Darnold gets you all riled up. And really only Darnold. Not with guys like Tre Boston before we let him go or Jackson, or Erving, or little, or Slye, or Thomas. 

It's the off-season. We're going to talk about the good, the bad, the mundane and the ugly about a variety of aspects of the team. 

Best consistent and toughenup or this site will eat you up.

You realize people can read the Huddle without being logged in right?

Also anyone can see old posts, even  now.  The gameday threads are still there.

There's  no a secret.  

I haven't been a member a month yet, I guess that's why I try to make other new huddlers a little more welcome.

I mean, I suppose that you springing to the defense of a non-Panthers fan is what makes you happy. 

For the rest of us, we see these transient "fans" trickle in every offseason. Strange how they all disappear when their player disappears.....

Good luck with that.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
