If you don't enjoy it why watch? People need to understand that this is all pointless entertainment, and being a fan of a football team isn't a blood pact, no matter how many people try to cope about it. I watched maybe 1/4 of the games in 2021/2022 because I knew by then Rhule was a charlatan rat

I am not expecting playoffs this year btw. I am hoping that they can compete with the tougher teams on the schedule, unlike last year where they were blown out by the Bengals and 49ers.

this was me for almost the entire Matt Rhule era. that's why i was gone from the Huddle for over a year. i didn't vibe with Rhule and i didn't like the handling of Cam so i watched Manchester City and AEW until my interest in the Panthers was rekindled.

it's literally not even a bad thing. if you're miserable in your fandom, watch another sport or get into another hobby for a while until you feel the itch again.

i know that sports fanbases like to do the "i'm the biggest fan so i'd never do that" thing but we should be more cognizant of things needlessly impacting mental health these days.

sometimes just stepping away is a good thing. i think i quit posting for a year in here after the 2015 run. sometime during that next season i just dropped out. that season and the ending was just too taxing on me. 

the last year of the rhule era had me emotionally check out and i was just about to that point again. the last bit of hope i had was that maybe sometime Tepper would finally realize that rhule needed to go. fortunately he did and the wilks made it ok to be a fan again. panthers were something i could finally feel ok about. 

i feel great about the potential of this team finally with the coaching staff that reich has pulled together and Young looks like he could be a legit star in the league. i'm pumped. i haven't gone to training camp in a few years, but i really want to go this year and i'm going to try to work it into my schedule. 

i can understand someone being burned out, though, and not having any confidence in the team...but then, again, the question is "why would you do this to yourself? why allow yourself to continue being invested in something that you feel so horrible about? just walk away for a while...from it all, including and especially here in the huddle where you'll be constantly reminded of the thing that is dragging you down. it will be ok and even good for your mental health to take a break from it. find something else to get emotionally connected to that isn't a drain on you. 

that's what the OP should learn.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
