Something You Didn't Know About Yesterday's Game

Not to get too personal with a bunch of technically strangers, but I've been battling with depression, anxiety, and ADHD for the last several years (I'm on the uptick!) -- due to this I have not been to a Panthers game in three years. Once I heard Cam was back, I immediately said to myself, I can do this and I am going to that game.

Fast forward to yesterday....Cam scrambles and runs it in from 24 yards out and I jolt out of my seat screaming like Igo watching Olsen catch the winning TD @Seattle in 2015. Well.... thanks to one of my meds that I take for anxiety that can randomly lower your blood pressure as a side effect, I pass out from standing up too fast and fall right into the person next to me and come to a few seconds later to find myself really confused as to how Cam somehow teleported to the 50 yard line....talk about a mind screw (I was completely uninjured fyi). The missing pieces got connected once I saw the replay on the jumbotron.

The point? Cam is back. While I'm normally a die hard, ruin your day if they lose type of fan....this game for me was about Cam being back and I WANTED to be there to both witness and support Cam. Nothing about this team over the last three years has even remotely pushed my brain to face the demons/hurdles and consider attending a game...even though I purchase my Roaring Riot membership religiously every year... mostly to support the cause, but also JIC. But this Sunday, I wouldn't miss it for the world simply because CAM IS BACK -- and you know what? It felt damn good that I was back too.

Good stuff, glad you could get to the game. We should all enjoy this to the best of our abilities and not let the wins and losses control our moods so much. A good buddy of mine who had been going to games with me since 1995 died last week. He fought and scratched and clawed to live so he truly embodied the keep pounding motto. I am sure he would have loved to be there and see Cam's return home but it was not to be.

Glad you were able to experience that and more importantly, glad that you were able to get help for the things that you are battling.

Anxiety, depression, and mental instability are real.

It takes a strong man or women to get help and I feel horrible for those that have to go through these types of things alone.

Happy you got to enjoy your day!

Keep Pounding!!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
