As an educator, I can say that college kids I taught in 2003 are much different than the 2023 students.  My approach had to change--or I become a joke to them--You are farther from their worlds than ever before--if you don't keep up, you are an artifact of days gone by.  When I saw Campen on an interview, he started cursing and said that he can't control it.  People laugh about it, but to me, it demonstrated a person who feels that he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone, he is who he is and is not concerned about self-control or reflection.  It is as if the job is a lifetime achievement award instead of something that you must attack like a hungry wolf every day.  He lost touch, in my estimation based on what I have seen.

Well said and illustrated. Sometimes I feel like that, a dinosaur just watching the proto-possums scamper about. I'm an old print journalist now working to write scripts for a YouTube channel. My audience has changed soooo much I started working in 1992 at it. Sometimes I hit, sometimes I miss. And I'm paid by a 21-year old guy from India who is remarkably even keeled and supportive. 

This newest generation taking the stage... they may well be onto something. I like them, I wish I fully understood them, but there's a lot of good stuff there. 

Maybe newer, younger coaches in Carolina can reach them and set them to soar. I sure hope so.

      FA may or may not be the best option each time. You know as well as I do that the LT is the highest paid position on offense behind QB and WR. If you have cap concerns, it would be better to draft a quality LT and hold him for 3-4 years before you have to sign him to a long term (and expensive 2nd contract). I wouldn't want to acquire a run stuffing DT in FA if I could get a younger one much cheaper in the draft.  Let's say no good Safties are on the market when prior to drafting. Once again you'd go to the draft. FA is a good way to feel out the roster prior to the draft, but it's possible to REACH there too. FO's usually end up over playing guys (at least at certain positions) who have already peaked. Besides, you always have to consider that the team that let them go didn't think they were worth the price they were asking to retain them. That certainly applies to our defense. We could draft the BPA at any level of our defense and immediately improve our team. A stud on the line beside DB would help the the run and pass defense. Our LB core needs a thumper/impact player at any position. We need another CB to play alongside JC. We have yet to see a Safety on our roster significantly impact a game this year.

      Maybe Rod will change it up and slot Bussi in net. Why risk the inevitable injury to Freddie this early in the season against a team that will likely win regardless.  Just show up and play to win, that's all I ask.

      Well, I feel the same way about pharmaceutical, junk/fast food and political ads. They all cause active and KNOWN harm to the populace but we are the penultimate corrupt Western country, so that's just where we are as a society.
