Useless story about my awful day and another Panther fan that made it not so awful.


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

Not to be "that guy" who always has a topper story.

But I lost my step father to cancer 8 weeks ago, my mother is now in the hospital with a serious cardiovascular condition, and to top it off I lost my half-sister suddenly and unexpectedly on Thanksgiving day.

So I know about shitty times here recently. The Panthers team playing well and the Huddle keeping me entertained, and friends and family are the only things keeping me upright these days.

So keep pounding brother, I am trying to do the same.

I'm sorry to hear that man. I'm lucky my issues haven't been family/health related. Mainly just school, money and bouts of chronic depression. Problems like yours really puts things into perspective. I hope your mother gets better. Keep pounding brother.

Don't forget Mark Fields was a part of the campaign at one point (before he got into legal trouble).

 

Seriously though, I wish everyone here the absolute best that might be down on their luck/in dire straits.

 

Most of us know our faces only as monitor pixels, but a great deal of us are here for support.

 

Keep Pounding!

Wow teeray...so sorry to hear.  That is so much sadness for you and your family.  I hope for the best for your mother.  Hope football is a helpful distraction.

 

Awesomeness and others having a tough time.....hope things turn around for you soon.  I think the Keep Pounding mantra is a good one.  Sam was an inspiration long before he became ill. I think being able to find something positive to hang on to even in tough times is important.  Sam not only gave us positive, he gave us perspective.  I think he would have been very proud of this team.  Hope the success gives you some distraction, comfort, and even hope.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
