In life in general, and on the Huddle, isn't it an ideal goal for all of us to be moderators? Don't extremes, one way or the other, cause the most vitriolic discussions on this board? Shouldn't the key be to agree to disagree about what he differ about, but to strive for common ground and cooperation where we can? When you scrutinize your posts, and be honest when judging your overall tone on the Huddle, are you a moderator? How about an Agitator, Escalator or Hate-orator (you heard it here first)?

Methinks you've been listening to your wife too much.

:)

To be honest, if I really did, I would probably be a lot better off right now. Maybe in the future?

Double Bs, for real tho', sometimes I just try and bring something a little different to the Huddle than the same ol' tired b.s., particularly during a boring off season.

Definitely man, I was just joking in light of your past thread about you and your wife's philosophical discussions.

As a whole, I really think the Huddle is one of the most rational fan base out there. Even in the obvious cases where opinions are divided--say our quarterback situation, for example--it seems most can rationalize their opinion pretty well and at least explain why they feel that way.

There will always be areas we disagree on, but I really think the posters here are pretty knowledgable and capable of voicing their opinions well.

I think that everyone has the right to their opinion and a license to publicize it as they wish. I only wish they do so responsibly. No need to attack others and insult one another. Discuss the issues and the varying opinions with some civility.

If there was something good about the "good old days", it was a politeness and courteousness manner which were displayed at least superficially in public places and forums. Surely we can do the same.

It seems to me if you argue with people just to get a reaction about an issue, you enjoy inciting others and riling them up. You don't feel passionate about an issue, yet you feel a need to create a controversy.

I don't understand why anyone would waste their time doing that. Fun? Seems twisted to me.

I hear it uttered most frequently at the end of a lost argument, as a way of saving face. "I didn't really believe it, I was just playing devil's advocate".

Agreed. As much as some people want to poo poo the rep system. It did keep the antagonism to a minimum.

count me in as another who misses the rep system. when used correctly it helped a lot. the problem was there were some who, when neg repped to the smack forum for legit reasons, would be rescued by someone who didn't think that they should be there.

i guess it all balanced out, though.

it worked. it would work again.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
