Y'all know it's up to y'all to fix it right? Start a solid informative or interesting topic. Do your part to getting back on track. If you posted in this thread to complain, how about posting something to move towards I proving this joint next.

There's way too much of taking any difference in opinion as personal attack on the board right now leading to actual personal attacks. If you don't want to encounter differing opinions, then a forum that encourages open discussion might not be the best place for you. We're not going to be the football thought police around here and moderate a "Panthers positive messages" only forum. If you want to stick around but want to create your own personal echo chamber, there's an ignore function. Use it.

Obviously not intended for you @Zod, just expounding on what you said.

 You do realize the mods here are drafted out of Division III, right?  They did not give up their right to have an opinion.  If you are specifically talking about one particular mod the only thing I notice is that they are very consistent in their opinion.  One board where everyone thinks alike is going to be extremely boring.  So are posters that "straddle the line" on every single thread.  Have an opinion and man up.  

 

There is a HUGE difference between having an opinion and DAILY bitching about the offensive line, the 1 year coach, the 6 month GM, and QB who has not had a chance show us ANYTHING.

I sincerely don't know how to react to this.

Great post.  I came here a couple months ago or whatever, mostly because it's pretty damn active here in the offseason.

Over the last couple weeks, I've learned that a lot of folks here are dumb as fug.  Or just trolls.  Can't tell yet.

I do appreciate those with measured, reasonable opinions though.

I've been reading here for years but just made an account recently. There are certain people on here who have been writing 5 paragraph long reactionary doomsday posts for a decade  now. Don't visit here post-game because it will kill your buzz even if we won.

I mean... it's a message board?

People put their opinions here?

In the scheme of things I follow your opinion more.  I like being positive about the team I root for.  But that does not negate other people having different opinions.

I also don't read every thread so maybe I don't notice it.  But how is this volunteer mod, who backs his opinions up with knowledge of the team any different from your opposite take?  Obviously both of you are fanatics of the same team so disagreements should not cut so deep.  Now if he was a falcon fan it would be different, F that guy.

Whether Darnold stinks or not we all know which certain posters called it from the beginning, even got obnoxious about it.  Just look forward to Darnold leading this team to the playoffs and this guy shutting up.

Are you complaining about my complaining about their complaining?

Cool.  Well its MY opinion that the mods shouldn't be getting pie-d by the trolls we just banned.  And its MY opinion that we should hold our powder on attacking the GM, coach and Darnold until we see how we do.  And its my opinion that if they want to bitch daily about the team, then I can bitch daily about them.   So if you think that all opinions are OK, then deal.

The thread noted a change here.  My point, is the change I noticed was that the mods have turned negative on the team.   Your point is they are entitled to.  My point is that I didn't say they weren't entitled to.  They can bitch about the team, and I can bitch about them.  It'll be great.

Yeah I think perhaps the negativity has in part taken over because it’s endorsed by the mods like you said. It’s one thing to have an opinion and disagree with decisions the team is making. But it’s another to just absolutely poo on them day after day after day relentlessly. I understand people feel frustrated but it’s gotten to a point where being negative about your overall outlook somehow makes you more knowledgeable and credible. I genuinely don’t get it. 

What's more crazy and backwards to me is the flip side of that, where being positive about your overall outlook is routinely used as a pejorative here.  Like, what??  One of us is doing "entertainment" wrong, and I don't think it's the positive group.

One note, I'm not talking all mods.  Some of them are still fans.

There that should trigger somebody.

I have less a problem with mods adopting a negative outlook on the team and more an issue with mod(s) derailing threads into a 14-page back-and-forth petty spat, routinely hurling more personal attacks than virtually any other poster in here, admitting (or at least claiming) to "troll-post" unprovoked in order to trigger "Darnold fans", etc.  Within the digital Huddle world, moderating is certainly a kind of "job" and so I would expect a level of professionalism, dignity, decorum, etc. from moderators.  If you can't go 5 minutes without inserting some snarky comment or calling someone an idiot, then maybe moderating isn't for you.

@CRA is an example of a good mod IMO who may have adopted what some could consider a "pessimistic" outlook of our QB situation, but upholds the higher standards of a mod well.  He's level-headed, engages with dissenting opinions respectfully, has never devolved into personal attacks, doesn't get rattled or baited into petty squabbles, and is generally just a very patient dude.  All important qualities that suit a mod well.

I don't think mods should have to surrender the right to their opinions in exchange for their shiny moderator badge, I just think there's something disturbing about a mod being the biggest e-bully on the site.  As the great and wise Melania said: Be Best.

I wrote a whole rant here in response to this with links to posts and back-and-forth's and derailed threads that I myself have participated in, but I've thought better of it. 

Suffice it to say, I disagree with your assessment.  I'm going to leave it at that.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.

      A question no one is asking about Bryce and The Panthers

      By CRA · Posted

      CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee.

      I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
