Went to "Panthers in the Park..."

Not a bad set-up, they had everything that was advertised plus $2 lemonade. A friend and I went, hoping to see if Clausen was there, or Stewart or Munnerlyn.

Turns out no rookies were able to go due to NFL rules, and both Stewart and Munnerlyn were there, along with Gross, Jarrett, Kalil, Kenny Moore, Rosario, Kasay, Schwartz, Cantwell, Bernadeau, Otah, Thomas Davis, Everette Brown, Hayden, Gamble, and a few other defensive standouts. Not over 30 players though.

We picked a line to wait in for a few minutes, and when the players came out, Stewart was slated for our line. I had an '08 NFC South title shirt I brought, and when I gave it to Stewart I asked him to make it out to me in my name. He asked my name politely, then added an extra "r", asked if that was right, I said there's only one "r," so he fixed it, wrote an arrow below it, inscribed "oopps!" (yes he misspelled that as well,) we laughed about it and News 14 Carolina got a shot of the both of us and the misspelled shirt.

One hell of a memory for sure.

I got back from ATL around 7 and got to get a few autographs from the Defense, before it ended. Mainly, TD, Everette Brown, and Chris Gamble. I caught Sherrod Martin before he got on the bus/van and told him that I thought he would be the leader in Interceptions this year. He said "What's your name?...I'll remember that."

Yeah, it was fun for sure. We were gonna stand in line for Munnerlyn and Brown but considering how we were 4th and 5th in line for Stewart, being about 200th and standing in the sun wasn't very appealing.

I do want to point out that JJ Jansen hung out with kids there and tossed around with them for at least 20 minutes, just hanging out. Jarrett was also particularly approachable. Charlie Dayton and Mike Craft were also there but not in team clothes.

I was there too. Kasay signed my super bowl 38 helmet and I had the rest of the team sign my football. Jeff Schwartz saw my super bowl helmet and told me "we're going to get you a new one to add to your collection". Im gonna hold that to him now. LOL

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
