Next thing I know you’re going to say she’s a Tampa bay lightning fan too… or worse Florida panthers. 

Lololol she doesn’t too much care for hockey which is fine by me, allows me to watch the games in peace. Did convert her from being an FSU fan to a UNC fan and a Heat fan to a Hornets fan (I actually feel bad about this lol).

He’s on the Lions staff. A lot of folks assumed we would hire him given the connection to Reich from Indy and the obvious homecoming but Lions hired him.

It's perhaps not the way to build a franchise in the cutthroat performance-driven NFL, but man having Fox back in Carolina would have hit me in the feels.  He drove a lot of us nuts at times and his tenure ended on an incredibly sour note, but we had some great times when he was pacing the sidelines in Charlotte.

Finally watching the replay. Mingo looks like a great 2nd round pick, and I'm surprised Thielen is yapping so much to the opposing D. I think it's warranted with the cheap shots they were taking. Same as Hurst getting pissed on the camp confidential, you want those vets to still have some edge and not be going through the motions which a lot of them do when they get around 30. O-line/TE has done some odd stuff in pulls etc but I think that's just chemistry stuff that will take some time in a new systen

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
