Ask Not What The Huddle Can Do For You....

ask what YOU can do for The Huddle.

This topic is meant for those Huddlers who are interested in helping our community grow. If you are not interested or can't be bothered, no need to read further.

I recently put a lot of money and time into this new format. Its cleaner, faster, stronger, sexier, newtoner. It has a ton of enhancements that isnt necessarily seen by the average viewer.

I believe this season will be the breakout year for the huddle. With our added national attention, we need to be ready. We have had some big seaons in years past. We have had our name in Sports Illustrated. We have had national interviews. We are on local TV weekly during the season. But we are not done.

Here are a few things you can do to help The Huddle prosper:

1. Descriptive Thread Titles: Thread titles are the #1 thing you can do to help the huddle. Our SEO depends on it. If you are writing a thread about Cam, instead of "Interesting thought" as a title, try "Cam Newton thoughts". The more descriptive the better.

2. Descriptions of images: If you post a picture, a couple work descriptor underneath that picture would go a long way in google indexing it appropriately.

3. Facebook: The Huddle now can integrate with your facebook account. The options are in your User Control Panel. It won't reveal your identity on the huddle, but it is an easy way to "like" articles or topics. This greatly increases our new visitor traffic and improves our google love. The articles on the main page are usually very facebook safe and involve real discussion. Please "like" them if you want to help.

I may add to this as I think of things.

Thanks all.

serious question though, a person would have to log in to their facebook and integrate with the Huddle, correct? In other words, integration is not the default setting, right?

thanks,

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
