Whatever Happened To...

The ol' Huddle concept that Panther castoffs go elsewhere to flourish? It was quite the popular complaint not too long ago (which of course proved what idiots Hurney and Fox were compared to the relative genius of the poster).

So what have you?

Witherspoon is no longer on track for an MVP? Gaines hasn't finally broken out like you thought?

Kerry Colbert is going to have a breakout season....wait and see.

All joking aside, I think Bleys thread says it all. Fox and Hurney are coming into their own and making better decisions.

Randy Fasani is gonna make a comeback. Mark my words. Right after Stefan Lefors...

But on a more (somewhat) serious note. Whatever happened to Adrian Mcpherson? He was on the Saints last I saw, but I don't think he is anymore. Just didn't cut it in the NFL I guess, huh?

David Carr will step in for the injured Eli Manning and take the Giants to a SuperBowl. Also, Eric Shelton beats out LaDainain Tomlinson for the San Diego RB starting job. He then proceeds to rush for over 1700 yards and scores 23 TD, 22 on the ground. Colbert and Carter start for the Raiders and combine for 167 catches and 31 TDs, both which make the Pro Bowl. And Ricky Manning Jr. gets a contract with the Giants and records 4 INTs in the NFC Championship game, against us.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
