Sad News about a Fellow Huddler

Recommended Posts

It is with great sadness that I need to inform you all about the passing of Clifton Jacobs, also known as Electro. As some of you know, Clifton has been very ill for quite some time. On Friday, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The illness, along with other challenges he was facing, was just too much for him to cope with and sadly, he took his own life on Sunday.

He loved Panthers football and he loved this message board. Football brought him great joy and "passion". He loved all of you and enjoyed stirring the pot. In fact, he was "passionate" yesterday as he scolded me for saying I wanted the Saints to win!

His family requested I notify his Panther friends. The details of a service have not been made yet, but Crumpler Honeycutt Funeral Home in Clinton, NC will be handling the arrangements.

Please keep his family in your prayers. If you want more information, feel free to contact me via email at [email protected].

Thank you,

Leslie Thompson

I will miss him dearly. He is my life and I dont know how Im suppose to live without him. I love him with all my heart. I talked to him right before it all happened. This is so heartbreaking for me. We spent his last few hours just holding each other. This is the hardest thing I have to deal with. I am so lost.

    • Welp, he just joined Parsons in Green Bay.
    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.
