From the Palm Beach Post (link)

On playing quarterback versus switching to another position in the NFL:

“My goal is to play quarterback. I’m going to do whatever it takes and work as hard as I possibly can to be a quarterback. If I’m on a team and they want me to go play another position and that’s what they tell me to do, I will gladly go play another position with my whole heart and do it to the best of my ability. But my goal is to be a quarterback and I’m going to do whatever it takes to try to reach that goal.

On why he thinks he will be a successful NFL quarterback:

“The work ethic that I’m going to be able to put into it, and the drive that I’m going to have to succeed and to push myself to get the most out of myself and to reach my peak, and hopefully they just believe that I’m going to do whatever it takes, and that’s something I take pride in.”

Lot better attitude than Eric Crouch had.

The Golden Calf of Bristol is one of those guys I'd absolutely love to see succeed (hopefully not with a division rival) because he's as great a kid as you'll find. Sadly, I still just don't believe his skill set will translate well to the pro level, and I'm not alone in that.

If the Panthers drafted him, I'd cheer for him and I'd hope for the best.

Right now, I'd rather not find myself in that position.

But who wants a throwback Fullback that can kinda throw?

Not a RB that can run like the wind and throw as a bailout, or a RB disguised as a QB (Vick) but an actual honest to goodness circa 1960s FB.

Who was the last guy to be that guy?

MAYBE Alstott, but he was a big slow RB, not a true FB.

Dunno where he fits.

Think of him more as a guy who can contribute on your team at another spot while you develop him as a QB of the future (ala Kordell Stewart or Seneca Wallace).

And for one of the seemingly nicest athletes out there.

People will always find a reason to hate the successful. If he was a bad person, they would hate him for that. Since he isn't, they hate him for what they aren't. I'm a Gators fan and I've never been one of those crazy The Golden Calf of Bristol lovers, but I really hope the kid succeeds. Probably the nicest person I have ever met.

The Golden Calf of Bristol is the answer for QB like Cowher is the answer for HC.

In theory, I think it's retarded and I hate the idea. But in reality, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be at least kind of excited/optimistic about it with the media hype and all that would surely ensue.

What do sand castles and Florida Gators football team have in common?

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
