The mid 2010s era had TD, Cam, Olsen, and Kalil swinging their dicks in the locker room. Luke too, but he seemed to be more lead-by-example. Part of the reason Rivera was so hands-off was because of this veteran leadership. Young guys and JAG’s respected the veteran core and didn’t fug around.

 The current squad has nobody like that. The closest thing we’ve had recently was Gilmore and Cam’s corpse for half a year. And arguably Baker. Ran all 3 off. Noticing a trend?

 

Luke was weird.  He turned into the rage monster when he stepped on the field Sunday.  Rarely see such an extreme Jeckyll and Hyde like that.  He wasn’t leading by example on Sundays but totally see it that way the other 6 days.

It’s a symptom of the problem. The largest problem and the absolute root of why the Panthers are where they are… the not allowed alpha male.

Tepper allows only one alpha, him. Ironically but also very telling, although he asserts himself as the alpha figure of the organization, he exudes insecure beta vibes…. All. Day. Long. 

Alphas lead. They are WINNERS. People NATURALLY gravitate to them for direction and guidance. They don’t even have to say a word and you can spot them a mile away. They have a look. An energy. People come to them, not the other way around. They remain calm in the face of adversity, until stay calm time is over.

Insecure betas can not have true alphas around. The insecure beta wants to be the one people NATURALLY gravitate towards, but it never happens. Beta also exudes its own kind of energy. In a group, they will try to say something but no one listens. They inflate themselves to be someone and something they are… but they’re not. The insecurity and indecision is palpable. There is chaos. 

Since the respect and gravitation never occurs naturally, they then try to find some sort of leverage so they can artificially elevate themselves to the status they desire. This is where we are now. 

The Panthers will stay right where they are until Dave allows alphas back in to the organization. I see it in Evero, Luvu (emerging), maybe Brown, Bozeman and Horn. There is no coincidence that when Dave bought the team and our team leaders left, everything went to hell. Top top it all off, he brought in the most submissive beta I’ve ever seen to play NFL ball, and injected him as the default team leader. Coincidental? That’s debatable. 

People are looking for trim carpenters when we haven’t even cleared the lot yet. Forget about an x and o guy for now. People say burn it all down. Bros, this MF’er has already burned down. 

We need Servpro. A true alpha.  We need someone who can come in with the directive and blessing to fix the team. A guy who can go down the roster and say to each player and coach ‘either do better or you’re off MY team.’ Players who consistently half ass it are a cancer to the team. They used to get dealt with… 

Only a true alpha personality will be able to accomplish this. We had it, the results showed up immediately, and it was sent away… but that ship has sailed. The talent is on this team to win in the NFL. They showed it last season. 

Please Dave, this will be the only way to win. Players won’t respect a coach when they know that coach is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the owner. No one respects a yes man. Especially grown ass men who know the ish you’re telling them to do, through your puppet coach, will never work. I hope you can see it and make a change if winning is your true intention. 

So leadership is the problem?

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
