We may be 1-8, but I'm still thankful for the Panthers

And I'm grateful to JR for getting us a team. Despite his mistakes along the way (not just this year's), he's been a model of class and the type of owner I am proud to support. I've had the pleasure of meeting him in a non-football setting, and he's just a great man.

I'm grateful for our GM. I like most of the players that Hurney has gotten and think he's done a good job assembling talent. I'm sure there are decisions he would take back, but I also trust him to find a way to get things done when we need them. Once we get through this bad year, we'll have a long spell where we generally go into a season only missing a single piece, and I think he's the man to find it.

I'm grateful to John Fox for bringing consistency to Carolina and making us such a constant threat that 7-9 has gone from a season goal to a season disappointment. I've followed the franchise since day one, and never has there been a time when expectations were as high as they are now. That's directly due to his performance, and this year won't change that.

I'm grateful to Jake Delhomme for years of solid leadership and for the honest, friendly face he put on the franchise. And I hope that Godfrey and Co. will be grateful that he's starting on Sunday.

Most of all, I'm just grateful we have a team. Even if they're awful right now, it's nice to have local guys we can pull for. And you can bitch and moan, but when you do please consider that your passion for the Panthers wouldn't be possible if they weren't here.

Ditto, well said.

I am thankful that we are going to have a great next decade led by Jim Harbaugh and Andrew Luck.

I'm thankful for guys like Mike Goodson, Sherrod Martin and James Anderson who have been pleasant surprises this season and are out there working harder than ever.

I'm thankful that PSLs are going to be selling at all-time lows after the season which will be great bargains for anybody that wants to jump in before we start our reign of dominance after this upcoming offseason.

I'm thankful for Jim Szoke on WBT, the most underappreciated guy associated with the Panthers ever.

I'm thankful for old reliable John Kasay having one of his best seasons at 41 when people were saying he was done years ago and constantly calling for us to cut him every offseason.

I'm thankful for Jason Baker being a great punter that just goes out and does his job with no appreciation whatsoever.

And I'm thankful for the Huddle for being one of the best NFL forums I've come across.

Happy Thanksgiving peeps.

      Canales and Mike White

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
