So, I haven't been posting as much over the last week or so because I've been working like a dog. I took some huddle advice from awhile back, humbled myself, and took a job that requires quite a bit of physical labor (my college education is really paying off). What sucks is, I'm only working two days a week - Sunday and Monday.

How is this Panthers related, you ask? Because mother f'ers. I'll tell you why.

But first, a preface... Do you know what the last game was that I missed watching until this year? It was the Atlanta game in December of last year where Cam made the epic run and we blew them out. I was in Florida for a wedding so I was unable to watch or listen to it. I was so angry, but then I saw we beat them so handily, so I was cool with it. That was the only game since maybe I was 12, that I can remember being completely unable to follow.

Fast forward to this year... So last week was my first day alone on the job, so I figured I'd listen to the game on my iPod. Now what sucks about living in the Raleigh area is that by chance, should the stupid fuging Hurricanes have a game at 1pm on a Sunday, guess what my local Panthers Station broadcasts instead of the game? You got it! Unfugingbelievable! And what happens while Proudiddy is working in rage mode because he can't follow the game? We handily beat the Vikings and Cam plays awesome.

Now today, I ended up working much harder and later than I had hoped for, yet again... Was t able to get home to watch the game (not even close) but, I did listen. And what happens? We handily beat the Rams and pull to .500 for the first time since 2009. Amazing.

So, while I was busy working like a slave and questioning what I did wrong in my life to end up working in such horrible conditions both last Sunday, in which I worked 15 hours straight, and this Sunday, in which I worked 13 hours straight, our Panthers have appeared to turn the corner. What makes these Sundays even more awesome is the fact that I'm doing this on an average of about 2 hours sleep a night.

Well, all I have to say is, you're welcome... I had a feeling it was me all these years. And thanks to our team for making me feel so wanted. Sons of bitches...

Not really, I love this team and how we've been playing. Too bad they didn't want to play like this when I scheduled my whole day around watching them.

...Now, off to cut myself, write a thank you note to my alma mater for the loan debt and helping me get a job that most invalids wouldn't take, and then off to search Indeed for a new job...

Go Panthers!

I noticed you hadn't been around much. Hang in there brother, good things will come.

Thanks Red. I'll be back in full effect soon... I'm still getting adjusted man. I worked 26 hours in 2 days last week, all on my feet, constantly moving and lifting, pushing, pulling, etc. it's very physical, and I've never worked so many hours on so little sleep EVER. So, it seems after these two days of working each week, my body spends the rest of the week trying to recuperate.

I think I should be back in the swing of things this week. Thanks for the kind words brother!

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
