Tolbert came here partly because he likes the South better than California

There were a lot of people wondering why Mike Tolbert came to the Panthers when we already had Williams and Stewart. Much of the speculation surrounding Stewart being traded focused on the fact that there wasn't enough room for all three of these backs and that perhaps Tolbert knew that Stewart was on his way out which is why he signed.

While you can't toss out that totally, Mike says publicly that there were 3 reasons he came here. The first one is that he likes our scheme better than San Diego. Second it reunites him with Chud and Rivera who he greatly likes and respects. But he also told the Washington Post that a big reason for wanting to come here was that he felt the South was a better place to raise a family. He said that he used to live here and wanted his daughter to be raised in this type of environment. So much so that he was willing to take a pay cut to come here. For more here is the story:

Who doesn't love the South better?

All the Yankees that keep flocking here (yet at the same time they have no problem ripping on the south, our local teams, and our traditions like sweet tea and boiled peanuts) prove the south is where it's at. It always bugs the hell out of me when I hear neighbors, who have moved here by free will, rip the area and southerners. GTFO and quit putting a strain on our local resources, nobody invited you.

then get a gun rack, hang a battle flag of northern Virginia, try develop a smooth drawl and act all local. A Yankee will be local when they're buried in the cemetery, until that time they are interloping carpet baggers.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
