Do you watch CJ Stroud and wonder ‘what if’?

There’s “impressed,” and then there’s “obsessed”. Quite a few on here fall into the latter and not the former 

If we were doing good things there would be other things to talk about. And “obsessed” is an opinion gauge. There’s no meter for showing how far you are on one side or the other. I don’t think anyone here can point fingers at others while also not only opening threads about Stroud but also commenting in those threads multiple times.

Sure there is a meter. How often does one post about someone who doesn’t play for his supposed favorite team? If it’s a majority of one’s posts, and they start multiple threads saying the same things, that’s probably an obsession and it’s clearly something that dominates their thoughts far more than it should.

It’s so weird to see folks tell people who have been around for a long time to go root for another team because they are impressed with a player. It’s like a last resort when you have nothing else to say. 

They're saying this because there’s virtually nothing positive to say about Young so far

To the OP:  Nope.  Playing what if for more than a few minutes is a complete waste of time.

What if I'd won the lottery?  A fun game but pointless.

What if I hadn't misunderstood the signals hot chick sent me freshman year?  Spank bank?  Or just pointless.

I don't think anyone could be successful with the way things are now.  Doesn't matter if it's prime Payton Manning, Cam Newton, or anyone else.  The team is so incredibly dysfunctional.  If folks want to change their fandom, I wish them nothing but happiness.  Because it doesn't affect me.

The world sucks, go be happy.

Agreed. I watched basketball with my kid this afternoon and we had a blast. Didn’t visit the Huddle, didn’t think “wonder what CJ’s doing,” didn’t even think “that god damn midget who’s taller than 4/5 of the Huddle makes my blood boil as red as my Ickey avatar,” either

Oh so I’m definitely not included in that since I have tons of posts and he for sure is not the majority of comments or posts. But who you are you to determine how much of one’s thoughts should be allocated to whatever they are thinking about? Like for instance, I’m actually obsessed with Baseball but I don’t post about it here. So how would you judge when it becomes my obsession here on this message board? 
 

It’s all your own personal opinion that can be backed or validated by anything else but your own opinion. Again, anyone here posting in Stroud threads over and over like you is in no position to point fingers at others. You could leave those threads alone but you contribute by bumping them back up to the top and then you get upset when folks are talking about him. 
 

It’s like the meme where you throw a stick in your bicycle wheels, cause yourself to fall over and then lay on the ground blaming somebody else that you got hurt lol.

You could always ignore said poster.  Seems to me you are getting just as mad at him as he is to young.   Hmmmm interesting

    • 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.
    • 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.
