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.

      Build up the hope then they kick you in the nuts

      Yeah, if you tune in for any of the remainder of the season you will get what you're asking for. Nobody but yourself to blame. This is a sports franchise of losers, for losers.

      OFFICIAL Week 1: Panthers @ Jaguars Game Day Thread

      By Dragoon11 · Posted

      Here is my take, go ahead and roast me, I'm ok with it, I know where I am. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I will wait until week 4 or 5 before I entertain that option. This game I blame on the coaching staff. Their failure to give reps to the first team during the preseason was reflected in this game. Lets just call this what it is... our preseason warm up game. You could see that the whole team was flat in the first half. Every aspect of the game, the basic fundamentals. Mental errors, missed tackles, timing on routes, they were not ready for this game. Jacksonville is not a great team but you could clearly see their energy level surpassed ours. I do have to give credit to our defense. They did hang in there and kept competing through 4 quarters (minus the 71 yard run). The way our offense played it's a wonder Jacksonville didn't put 40 on us. Positives I saw, (I know, I know), but come on, we still have 16 games. TMAC IS that guy!! Chuba looked good, and overall, our O-line looked good. As bad as Bryce looked at times I do feel like we're a step or two away from connecting with our WR corps. There were plays to be made that were JUST off by a step or two (again, I know). We have talent at WR, we have talent on offense. To me, this game just looked like a team that was not mentally prepared for NFL week one, and less, "oh my god, we're the same old Panthers". Now I get it... a lot of this hinges on Bryce Young and his confidence. If he can erase this and focus on building continuity with these receivers I honestly think we're not going to suck as bad as we did today. XL... IDK, the jury with him is still out, but there is no doubt the kid has mega potential. Our defense, honestly, considering we have a bunch of new guys on that side, they held their own considering the offense could never change the momentum of the game. I am as disappointed as everyone else at another week one poor performance. But I also realize we are STILL rebuilding. Lets just take it week by week right now and see if we have ANY talent that rises to the surface. Because I really do not know what we have talent wise. And that is not just limited to the QB. So, we will see, but I'm not going to call it just yet... just my take. Now fire away! lol

      Officially time to end the Bryce experiment?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Well for one, what other realistic choice is there? Barring a season ending injury, Bryce is the guy for this year. Next year all options are open, but there aren't any other real world solutions for the 2025 season.
