This breaks my heart. There are many that will get in here and say 'RIP', but for those of us that talked to him more often than not, he was a good man, a confused man, a troubled man, but he did have a heart that would stretch sometimes wider than you would think possible.

I'm angry. I'm angry I didn't talk to him more before handing the phone to Andy to talk. He would always make me laugh.

I'm angry at Clifton, and I'm not afraid to say it. Killing yourself is the easy way out, for you. Little did you know that I was RIGHT when I said that there *are* people that love you. Why was that so hard for you to believe??? Why did you think you are expendable???

RIP, friend. I pray today for you. I should have prayed for you yesterday.

Normally I would agree. But he supposedly was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and probably wasn't going to live much longer anyway. I can't blame him or accuse him of being selfish for wanting to go out on his own terms.

Pancreatic cancer is a bitch, very painful death. In Washington you allowed to commit suicide (by taking lethal drug) if someone has pancreatic cancer and if approved by 2 doctors.

To anyone who didn't know him or come to a tailgate, he really did care about people and making people he didn't even know happy. For about two seasons at the Huddle tailgates it was not uncommon for him to show up with $100 or even $200 worth of food every tailgate to share with anyone who wanted it. He would slave over grills cooking for hours just to give the food away and see people happy eating it (or drinking it).

He would bring eggs that his own chickens laid to use for breakfast. Buy tons of seafood to come share. Buy parking spots for people to stand in, bring tents to keep others dry in the rain, etc...if somebody even mentioned how it would be nice to have a certain food at the tailgate he would often get it just to make them happy, even if he didn't know them. You could tell that he got more enjoyment seeing others happy than he did making himself happy.

RIP Clifton....

Now that is the Clifton that I knew and loved. This will ALWAYS be how I remember him.

I just wish he had reached out for help if he were hurting. He would have been surprised at how many people would have been there for him. He WAS NOT expendable...he will be missed greatly.

      D and D is the answer.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By PappyMay · Posted

      The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
