Sunny Sunday before the draft


Recommended Posts

We honestly could have taken Levis and I would have convinced myself we've had a great Offseason and this staff is going to get the best out of him.

It's the first time in years I've had a glimpse of optimism or confidence in what is going on in Carolina and I'm going to enjoy it for all its worth. I do prefer Bryce personally but whatever guy we went with I'd have been open minded with just because I trust the guys we have developing our QB.

I cant imagine being this upset over getting a guy so many places have ranked both their #1 QB and a Top 3 prospect. Cant wait for this weekend.

I’m right there with you. This team is on an awesome trajectory currently. I’m going to soak that in. Those being miserable at it presumably will never be happy as a sports fan.

They can draft Jake Haener and I'll be fine unless he flames out. I trust the staff...you know...the group that has been pretty much universally acknowledged as a tremendous NFL staff? I'll trust them until they lose that trust - just like with any other human or group of humans. This isn't that hard.

It’s a beautiful Sunday I sit on the back deck getting ready to grill some shrimp, chicken and veggies. My cat is stretched out in a pocket of sun that’s creeping through the shade. And this week the Panthers start an exciting new chapter and I can’t wait for it.

Now like many still on here, I was in the CJ Stroud camp early on. When I say early on, I mean like week 4 of last season. And I make a ‘don’t overreact’ thread every year on draft day, but this year I’ll make this in its place. 
 

Like I said, I wanted Stroud. But I have maintained that I’m genuinely happy with whatever QB we take because I can see he reasons why for each of them. BY, CJ and AR all have some strong arguments for why they should be the pick. So ultimately his my day (and week) goes is up to me. I can look at each of the positives and get excited for them or I can l completely throw a tantrum and argue that this team is on the verge of making a huge mistake, intentionally ignoring the positives and be completely miserable. Ultimately who we take is out of my control. So do I prefer to get excited about the future of do I prefer to let this ruin my week? 
 

I’m choosing to be positive. In my pursuit of this, I’ve actually come around to preferring BY. Maybe that’s cause I’m a “blind homer” or maybe it’s because I said that aside from my concerns about size, he really does seem to be the best prospect. But I have concerns about each of those guys. And I see the positives to each also.  Ultimately I don’t control the outcome. The only thing I can control is my outlook. 

At this point I think pretty much everyone that posts here has a favorite. I do as well. But rather than spamming this board miserably like we’ve all done for the last three seasons, I’m going to choose to be excited regardless of the pick. Because only an absolute idiot refusing to acknowledge that each prospect has very attractive attributes and strong arguments why they should be #1.

I’m going to have grilled chicken and shrimp today. I’ll have a couple beers from Burial. I’ll talk about the draft with my friends and I’ll sneak a shrimp or two under the table for the cat. And rather than be miserable, it’s gonna be a good day for me. It’s going to be a good week. The only thing I can control is what I focus on. The clear positives of who we draft or the the real negatives. I’m going to choose to support whoever we pick and finally get excited about the direction of this team. So far, it’s going great. I recommend it to anyone still raging on this board. You can’t control it either way. So have a beer and let yourself get excited for a bit.

TL;DR The draft is out of our hands. You can choose to be miserable and hate who may end up being our future QB or you can acknowledge that each prospect has reasons why they will be the pick and get excited. It’s really up to you. So how do you prefer to spend your week?

Cheers to you. It’s refreshing to encounter an actual human on a message board.
