PanthaSan

....but Joey Porter is an ok guy.

Here's the story.

Last night Pantha-San #5 (my 12 yo who has been a Panther fan since 4) is selling candy for her softball team. Mama-San had some at work and Joey's cousin (who works there) told her to take our daughter to the rec center where a few local celebs were playing basketball.

Joey recognized Mama-San and when he was told about the candy sales, proceeded to buy 5 bars. As the transaction was going down, somebody in the crowd said "isn't it cool that you are selling candy to Joey Porter?"

PS#5 replied (without hesitation) "Yeah, but it would be even cooler if he was Steve Smith."

The gathered crowd got deathly silent according to Mama-San.

After a few seconds Joey said with a big grin, "you are right, that would be totally cool, I'll buy all of the candy you have." And bought her out.

True story...

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
