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.

    • Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.   
    • Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.
    • Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
