Meery Christmas to Me and the Huddle

Just wanted you guys to know I have received the best Christmas gift anyone could ever get a few weeks ago. In late March I was diagnosed with a Stage 4 rare type of cancer. The doctors basically told me to get my affairs in order but they would do chemo and see what happened. They put my chances at less than 10% to see Christmas. 4 weeks ago my PET scan showed zero cancer anywhere. Docs were amazed. Miracles do happen.

What does this have to do with you guys? I was never a big forum poster on anything but was and always have been a big Pro football fan. Most years I would attend 2-3 Panther games with all my buds. I found this forum on my IPAD during Chemo and started reading it and lurking. Some of the posts made me horse laugh and took my mind off what was happening so I decided to join in the fun. There are a LOT of funny posters on here (I am a big fan of sarcasm).

Even the guys you all love to hate like TRD and PFFL have grains of truth in what they say and keep the board interesting and fresh. I keep out of it for the most part but loved to see the various comebacks.

At any rate I wanted you all to know this forum has provided entertainment and laughs to someone who sorely needed it. When my wife was by my side in Chemo she would ask....whats so funny? It was you guys.

Sorry for the length of this post but wanted to make a point that take NOTHING for granted, hug your kids and pet your dog.

PLEASE DO NOT PIE me on this post. I prefer to earn it!

Thanks guys and Merry Christmas to all of you.........

    • I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.
    • Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people
    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offense trending upward given the investments we've made. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
