Where did you get the "lot" part from?

Well I guess there are it really a lot of us but is seemed like you were addressing the general population.

I think former players are justified in using the term we when referring to former teams, especially when they spent their whole career with them

Devil's advocate:  I played for Winterfield in Pop Warner.  I do not call them we.  

 

Seriously:  I had the same thought,

His play calling and time management at times has been suspect but the organization has been extremely stable under his stewardship. Not sure how you can disagree with Kuechly on that point. 

Consider the source

Stability in terms of culture and whatnot sure we are night and day from the Rhule foolishness. In terms of playcalling and in game management and needing to somehow reflect on the fact he should have kept the hot hand going when Rico Dowdle was playing as well as he was ehhhhhhh. He's also led us to the 30th and 26th passing offenses the last two years. And he needed other teams to do the lifting for us just to win a pitiful iteration of the NFCS. Dave Canales has as much to prove in his third year as just about anyone else in the league.

That is true, but I cannot overlook what he has been given at QB. 

A question that is likely to never be answered: what plays would he call if he had a QB that isn’t so limited?

Dave Canales has been HC for his current team longer than half of the league.  So, when you look at it that way, it is stable situation.

Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement.

Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr"

This whole thing is good but I time set it to start when they shift the subject to fits, schemes, etc. 

I am really big on continuity and they address that on the way out of this little conversation. 
 

It is a lot about the combine at first and Luke is just so good at communicating and smart about stuff, I would listen to him talk about most anything. I watched the whole thing.

This is a must watch for all Panthers fans.
