I love XL and I think he's going to be great. And yes, he's eccentric to most folks. But I will be danged if I can understand what the heck he said.

Of course, you can't help but watch ... and that's probably the secret to the advertising there.

Interestingly, I have a colleague who is from the same town as XL, and she says that is NOT how people talk there. 

People pick up their own accents...and XL is definitely playing into this thing.  It's a smart move.

I don't want to DOS myself, by my wife was very prominent in that area for a while, and she has no idea what he is saying a lot of times.

Anyone skilled in social interactions can "code switch" as they say.

Let him have his fun.

I am fine with him doing his marketing thing and I get other NFL fans saying they love listening to him talk and goof off on social media, so it is working.

My question is, are you working as hard on your game as you are on your "brand?" I want to see evidence of that in 2025. Because if that isn't the case.....go be a social media star and let that be your career path if that is your true passion.

He needs the kind of season Ickey had in 24 vs 23. Recognition and improvement.

I totally agree.  Hopefully he is able to balance both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
