I remember that Vikings debacle it was amazing tv drama! For me it was Eli vs Philly Rivers. I grew up a Wolfpack fan but ended up going to Ole Miss. So the drama between those two was like peak Young and the Restless for me. Being soooo happy we got Kuechly, all the drama surrounding Cam. Anytime and every time the Saints do a dumbass trade and whiff on the results.....

Watching Tunsil drop because a video got leaked of him smoking out of a gas mask. Not panthers related but that was the wildest thing I’ve seen during a draft 

And La'El Collins and the murder investigation knocking him from 1st rounder to (intentionally) undrafted, with the agent threats and hoopla that went along with that.

As a Panther fan and long time Huddler, my favorite draft moment is the year we took Star. This place is always arguing over who we should take. This year its which LT vs which QB vs trade down with a small few in the DE camp. All of the arguments are fine but rest assured, at the end of the night some people will be aggressively angry with the pick, hoping the player fails to prove their opinions right while swearing they are done with the team until Rhule and perhaps even Tepper are gone.

But there year we took Star is the only year I can remember where nearly this entire board was rejoicing. We had been talking about Star for nearly a full year saying we needed to somehow get him. And going into the draft we thought we picked too low and that he would be gone before the pick. We announced Star as the pick the very second we were on the clock and its really the only time I can remember that almost every single Huddler was happy about the pick. 

Star had a good career here but was certainly nowhere near our best pick ever. But that draft was really fun because we had all been wanting that guy for like 10 months are longer and we got him.

Isn't there a YouTube clip of a Huddler's reaction to the pick in real time ?

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
