The same, on and off, but I got 10 years on you if you started from the outset. I ghost the place for a while when it gets bad...and man does it get bad from time to time.  Incarnation #4 for me.

Yeah I think I first jumped on back around 2005ish.  Ghosted for a solid 10 years because the place became intolerable.  Right now I think it's doing ok.  Should break down into anarchy again within about a year I'd say.

im not going anywhere, lord willing!

 Trying to be more active!

Understood 😀

I originally came on The Huddle because 1) it provided a great time killing distraction from a boring job but also 2) because I really do love talking football and don't have as many "football friends" in real life as I used to.

(technically I have a "football wife" but she's a Cowboys fan 😖)

Now that I'm retired but the Mrs is not, it's still a decent time killer. And It's a lot more fun these days with the shadow of Matt Rhule no longer hanging over us.

Talking football takes me away from my day to day struggle of raising my parents…….which feels like it should be so much easier than what it is……no financial worries for the most part……but my folks got some of the mental health issues, and that stuff can get stressful……….keeping up with the team and talking ball is a part of my day i look forward to

Son was sitting next to me last night, saw my phone open on the huddle and was like you're on the huddle? 

I was like Daddy I have been a huddle OG. Turns out he is a huddle lurker

Life is now flashing before my eyes, I am old, this sucks

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
