'twas just nights before football

It's almost football season.....

Twas just nights before football, and all through the city

Every fan was dreaming of Kuechly and Smitty.

Their glass mugs were chilled in the freezer with care

Knowing that beer would soon be poured there.

The players were waiting anxiously for the start of game day

They'd been improving all summer, it was nearly time to play.

The mistakes of years past, had served as motivation,

And now they were ready to release devastation.

Ron was sitting in his office, making his final tweaks,

To get the perfect defense he so desperately seeks.

And Shula was thinking of all the weapons defenses would have to fear,

Knowing this would be far better than his time a Buccaneer.

Cam Newton was loading his mental chamber, staring in the mirror,

Looking at the face that all defenses would soon fear.

With Tedd Ginn and Smitty, Olsen and Dwill,

Cam knew that under his leadership, they could score at will.

When suddenly from a nearby hotel, a loud sound did blare,

It was little Russell Wilson awaking a nightmare.

He had dreamed of the Kraken, Star and CJ

It scared him to his very core, he did not want to stay.

While he was looking for flight back to Seattle, Coach Carol ran to his side

But instead of words of wisdom, he asked the diminutive man to hide.

For while he was resting, Petey had the same dream,

And was sobbing to himself when he heard little Russell's scream.

Pete know that last year was lucky, merely a fluke,

There was no way Marshawn was running against TD, Beason and Luke.

And while all the pundits on the TV were expecting Seattle to cruise,

Pete knew in his heart, that his Seahawks would surely lose.

Carol hugged his quarterback before he left, and kissed his cheek goodbye,

To leave back to his bedroom suite, and have a final cry.

The score was no longer his focus, he wanted merely to survive,

To keep the score close, and leave Carolina alive.

For years the Panthers have been down,heartbreak and postgame cries,

But soon all football fans will witness Carolina rise.

Betting against our Panthers, would be nothing short of treason....

Happy football to all, and to all a good season.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
