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.

      Caleb Williams is struggling big time in OTAs

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I'm really trying to give a fug....   Nope...that's  a lie.  I simply Don't give a fug about the bears, Caleb, or the fact we traded with them over a year ago.  All water under the bridge.  With that being said, Caleb is a punk ass rookie, that is in his first OTA in the NFL.  It really doesn't matter how he looks. He's suppose to be learning the system.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I sit here and think, Y'all call me a Homer?  This thread is filled with mostly people on the Extremes.    Ones whom are incapable of believing a group of talented athletes can play well enough together to win.  And ones that fit this description.   In may.  Believe that our offense is going to magically start carrying this team. Which has never happened in the history of this franchise.   You guys have no business calling me a Homer. Seriously.    Now that I have expressed this... let me open up more on This current team than I have to this point  In THEORY, our run defense should be much improved.  Which would in turn, give the defense more opportunities to actually rush the passer.  More than last year anyways.  Once again, in THEORY, our running game should be much improved.   That in itself should benefit out defense, by allowing the offense the opportunity to actually sustain drives.  There isn't a single pass rusher on this team that scares me. Clowney is a pretty good complete defensive end/edge guy.  At no point in his career was he ever considered an elite pass rusher.  Now he's our best pass rusher. After that we have a wanna be journeyman pass rusher, and a lot of unknowns.  Even with more pass rush opportunities on the horizon, how ANYONE can be confident about our pass rush at this moment, just blows my mind.  Going back to offense.  IF our oline can come together, and ve somewhat healthy this year, that will be a miracle in of itself. Thus is coming from a fan whom always says the okine takes time to come together.  He'll, last year they never had the opportunity to come together.   The line was being shuffled from the beginning.  How anyone expected our young left tackle to be even competent when musical chairs was played all season long at the guard positions , blows my mind. Is anyone capable of understanding the impact that has on an oline?  Which in turn impacts the entire offense?  Seriously.   The fact people still want to say they know Young sucks/is a bust after the 1 rookie season behind that miserable attempt of even fielding an offense??? Seriously, what the fug are you smoking? That ain't good poo. You need a better source for your drugs man.  You guys have brain damage.  IF our oline can come together, IF our oline can remain decently healthy, then yes, our offense should, for the first time since Tepper has owned the team, be offensive to other teams!! Our running game should flourish.  Nothing in any generation of NFL is more effective andndangerous than a balanced offense.   While I am somewhat optimistic about what this team as attempting to field this season... I do have my doubts.  I can see how it can come together.  I can also see how it can fail to get traction at all.  Our team should at least be more entertaining to watch for the first time in I don't know how many years.  Maybe I'll actually attend some games this year.  I won't hold my breath.  If our team findsa way to improve to average, that means will win 6 to 9 games.  That's a pretty good improvement for a first year head coach.  Notnsurw how many of our fans would be alright with that. Seems our fans fall into 2 categories.   Superbowl, or tank, I mean don't you dare win 1 damn game, and fug up a high draft pick so we can continue to suck forever!!!! Hmmmm  Seems this post has been all over the place.  And you have the audacity to call me a Homer. 🙄
