Arizona is now ON NOTICE!

Listen up Arizona! You are now ON NOTICE!

This week the Carolina Panthers play in Northern Mexico against a team that can think of nothing more menacing than a little red bird to represent their team. A place where pasty white home owners water their rock gardens while pretending to be anything but the walking maxi pads in plaid shorts we all know them to be. A place where the only thing more common than losing is sand.

Welcome to Arizona! We make Utah look exciting.

Wait, whats that? Feel that cool breeze? A mysterious change is in the air.

Winning is coming.

The old regime is gone. A new leader has emerged and is cleaning house. Gone are the days of the 3rd and long draw play. There will be no more sitting on the laurels of a 3 point lead, desperately trying to run out the clock. Our new leader is a true warrior, a military man, a fighter.

Winning is coming.

Featured in this new army is a young upstart, full of potential and the pedigree to be a great leader. A fighter in his own right, he is known as the Happy Warrior, as he appears to be smiling in even the most dire of situations.

Winning is coming

This new Panthers squad features a warrior the likes of which Panthers fans have rarely witnessed. He escaped the wintery lard clogged wasteland known as Chicago and has found his salvation here in the Old God's country. Place him on the battle field and watch as all that oppose him collectively crap themselves. Ironically, crapping themselves would be the most entertaining thing the Cardinals are capable of.

That is right, this week the Carolina Panthers will begin to raise the hopes and dreams of all their fans. This week they will rise above the negativity and put the rest of the league on notice. This week they will do what last season could not be done.

Winning is coming.

Panthers 24 Cardinals 21

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
