Mixon interview on local public radio...

I have to agree that this was a very good interview. Sure Mick is somewhat of a rah rah but that is his job. Obviously from what he has said the atmosphere in the locker room and among players is very encouraging and they are expecting big things. Seems to me that anything short of the playoffs this year will be a huge disappointment. This year kind of reminds me of 2005 coming off of a late run in 2004 and so many injuries. If the defense improves as it hopefully should, we certainly should be in every game and should win our share. It has been some time since there was this much optimism in Pantherland.

I agree about Mixon. Rah Rah is what he is paid to do. He probably doesn't possess what many would call a brilliant football mind but he does recognize confidence and expectation levels in athletes. He can sense a buzz and really has never been the kind of guy to sugar coat things or try to build hype. He tells it like it is. Also, the approaching 2005 comparison is interesting. I know I'm pumped.

3 cheers for the OP and the self proclaimed "boring thread title". I like boring thread titles, a.k.a. "accurate" threat titles.

Honestly it was exactly what I expected from a Panther interview on NPR (I heard it driving to work the other day).

Lacked substance and real information for the most part but he did reinforce the locker room atmosphere and optimism the team has for this season. That sort of thing from a team tends to echo out into the fanbase...so at the very least the beginning of this season should be interesting.

Also I'll 2nd the attaboy for the "boring thread title". I enjoy knowing exactly what I'll get when I open a thread...

Wow, that was terrible. The interviewer didn't know poo about the Panthers and all Mick did was circlejerk the team.

Listening to him talk it sounded like we won the Super Bowl and are coming back for seconds this year.

I agree. I wish he would talk about how terrible the team is, how many holes there are to fill, how Cams overrated, and then remind us that it doesnt matter anyhow cus the world ends December 21st anyway. smh

Yeah, because there is no middle ground right? You either have to suck the collective teams dick or trash them? Those are the only options.

    • 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.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
