Worried about moray eels this season

FAIL!

Mock threads belong in the lounge only!

You had me scared too for a minute there... seeing as how I'm gonna be snorkeling in the Bahamas almost a month from today...

Avid diver here, the only things you need to be worried about in the Bahamas are Barracuda, Tiger sharks and a pissed off Stingray.

I was actually about 5 feet away from a rather large Barracuda in the Bahamas this past December... He was just chilling out, so I wasn't dumb and didn't get any closer... He could have taken my arm off, but I would have had to punch him in the face as he tried... ;)

I was about 20 feet above a stingray too, but he was just chilling out too... so I left him alone...

Didn't see any sharks though, but I have read about the Tiger sharks they have down there... Hopefully, I won't be getting too close to any of those any time soon... I hate sharks!

Oh, back in December, I was pretty close to a lionfish too... They're awesome looking, but can hurt you a little bit, I hear...

I had a Tiger shark take a taste test of one of my fins before, exciting if nothing else!

What I fear about them most is the temperment I have heard they have... Very ill tempered and ready to attack anything that moves at times...

Plus, it doesn't help that I was eaten by a motherfugin' shark this one time...

Yes they are rather ill tempered I got right back up to the top and in the boat after it happened. Never had any issues with Barracuda outside of them just following you around under the water.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
