Mike Minter Considers Running for Congress


Recommended Posts

I knew Minter was active in the community, but I've got to say I didn't see this one coming.

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/423/story/722657.html

Former Carolina Panthers safety Mike Minter said Wednesday that he will make a decision in the next few weeks whether to challenge for the 8th District seat.

The seat is currently held by Democrat Larry Kissell, who defeated 10-year Republican incumbent Rep. Robin Hayes in November's election.

Minter spoke minutes after returning from a two-day visit to Washington where surveyed the political scene. He said he would discuss the issue with his family and pastor before deciding.

This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. For some reason Mike always struck me as the politician type - perhaps it was his locker-room demeanor and the way he handled the press. Hell, maybe he could go level a few of the boneheaded idiots that are (unfortunately) running the show right now.

It took me a while but I searched the web to see what his major was in college. I thought maybe it was business or political science. Turns out he earned his degree in engineering! I don't his political views but to be so successful in so many different areas of life says a lot about the type of man he is and I think he would be very successful as a politician.

Holy crap - do you know his platform? You'd really vote for someone not knowing at all what they would stand for? Holy crap.

    • 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    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
