My pops and a possum

When Jones passed my old man took it pretty hard. Him and possum were close. Tragedy initially brought them together. Cold beer and picking guitars forged their friendship. I remember the stories of Jones and Willie getting drunk, putting sheets on and going to Charlie Pride's house to fug with him. Charlie would run out in a panic and they'd take off the sheets and have to run. Thought I'd post a few pics in honor of my dads friend, someone who he looked up to and found comfort in when all hope was lost.

Never listened to much George Jones but a buddy of mine did a whole set with his band in his honor. Gotta respect a guy that positively influenced a great amount of people. Really cool your Dad knew him, he was one of the lucky ones.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      By Navy_football · Posted

      This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday. Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible.  Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on.

      None of us think we're contenders this season but no reason we're doomed to 5 or 6 wins either. Dan has to have another 2025- like draft class and at least 2 key free agent signings. We're not Seattle but they don't win without 5 starters from their last 2 draft classes and Darnold and Lawrence in free agency.  Alas,  we'll have to wait one more season for a QB upgrade.

      I've got nothing else to say really than: Ayup. Here we are again. Again.  All we can really hope for is progress. If we improve as much again, it'll be good. If we don't, it'll be foretold.
