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,

    • Oh, the high expectations after a draft. Keep your expectations low, people. Darin Gantt's latest "Ask The Old Guy" gives life to one of those lessons about pro football reality as a fan: "Rasheed Walker was a three-year starter at left tackle for the Packers, so Freeling is going to have to work. Hunter's got another big 'un in front of him in Bobby Brown III and a different kind of defensive tackle in Tershawn Wharton. Chris Brazzell II's got a lot of traffic at his position. Zakee Wheatley has to be better than the chronically underappreciated Nick Scott, and Sam Hecht is a fifth-round rookie at the hardest position on the line to play, who probably doesn't have immediate positional flexibility, and a solid free agent addition in Luke Fortner in front of him. "Fans generally love their draft class as soon as it arrives, because there is no evidence to the contrary yet. Once guys get on the field, the reality begins to creep in, and the seasoned among you remember that if you get three or four good players out of a draft, that was an amazing draft." https://www.panthers.com/news/ask-the-old-guy-things-looking-up-after-the-draft-monroe-freeling-luke-kuechly-bryce-young-derrick-brown Don't get crazy. Winning the draft (or the offseason BTW) on paper always leads to good feelings and great expectations, especially when you seemingly succeeded the season before, but let's remember that the Panthers are very much a work in progress. Team building takes time. If we get a couple of starters out of the draft, it's a good draft, but three or four would be an amazing draft, and anything more than that is actually sensational--even if entails a few multiple high end rotational players along with three starters. Moreover, kind of within that same vein, the coaches have to let the kids off the chain. Remember the coach-speak of past coaches about competition that is anything but because coaches have their notions about veteran experience? Not saying that they're necessarily wrong, but sometimes I think their reluctance to put the young guys out there is based somewhat in dogma or possibly fear because big stakes are on the line (e.g., their jobs). It can be frustrating to say the least, but the coaches are supposed to know best. Again, I say all of this so that we can remember to temper expectations and keep them within the realm of reality. It's like telling your mind to think of it as something akin to under-promising and over-delivering. Leave room to be pleasantly surprised for the best case scenario, but be cognizant that that rarely happens. I would think at this point, most of us should be able to recognize growth when we see it, and sometimes that growth doesn't manifest itself in the form of immediate supremacy, but a setting of the stage for long term dominance for years to come. It seems like we're on track for an emergence by 2028 or 2029. We still have huge questions, but by 2029, hopefully we will take our seat at the table of the perennial contenders in the NFL.  
    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates
