Imma add Horn, cuz I like him. And of course Moton. Riddick is close, and Bouye has a shot. Those last two are stretches, but they are talented. That's still a lot of paychecks down the line.

I get what you are driving at. We need to dial down CMCs touches. I bet almost every Panther fan would agree. However, there are a bunch of RBs that are going strong. Maybe they haven't led the league, but they carry their teams. I mean, Gordon, Gore, Ware, Zeke, Drake off the top of my head. Running your RB into the ground is bad. You are worried we will overuse CMC. I hope we don't, most hope we don't.

I would be interested to see what your list would be? I get 7, or 8 depending on my mood.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have always operated by the adage, "Aces in their Places".

I have no doubt that if Sam puts in the work, this staff will help him realize his full potential. And so far, it appears as though he is putting in the work. There are plenty of reasons to believe that Sam can exceed expectations this year, and moving forward. I mean, being optimistic for the future, sure beats where we were just 2 short years ago.

I just don't get it. With all the things this staff is doing to help make Sam a quality QB. I don't see how you can't be excited over what could be. Talented targets, better Oline, and actual QB coach, an OC who appears to know how to scheme, and a Head Coach with a Philosophy Degree. Teamed with a much improved D, and there is reason for optimism. At least IMO anywho. I mean, man, if this works, we will be a team to be reckoned with. I tell ya what.

Weight is a subject that has a lot of angles. I think, for a RB, there is a weight that fits. Too much, and it can mess up your smoothness (For lack of a better word.) Too little weight, and you lose power. It's the Goldilocks theory. Too much? Doesn't work. Too little? Doesn't work. Just right? Works. Now, with all that said. I have no clue, nor scientific research to base this off. It is just how it worked for me. But, that was a long time ago. When weights were not as prevalent as they are today. Hellz, my High School did not even have a weight room. lol

As to the tank. I don't think we tried to lose games, we just had a knack of not winning. I believe Teddy had a major role in that. CMC thing? I think not letting him play had more to do with getting him 100% healthy before he hit the field again. He just never got to that point. Hence, he didn't play.

Part of me thinks this is a strong possibility. I don't remember ever seeing CMC in a sling. Coinky dinky? Who knows. That WFT game was a mess. It came down to who could actually football. And unfortunately, they were just better at being bad than we were. lol

I think this is high on most folks lists. Keeping CMC healthy is a must. And Chubba has a real shot at doing just that. The kid can run, catch, and is a pretty good blocker. I do expect him to get touches, the more the merrier if you ask me.

As to Slye. If all the work he is putting in this off-season works? Then yes. For all the rest. This staff is heavy into analytics. Stay with the science, and everything should work out fine.

I guess I am not as concerned about the Oline as most folks. We were middle of the pack last year, and we should be even better this year. Paradis, Miller, and Moton have the right side locked down. Put BChris at LG, and that is a heckofa start. Throw everyone else at LT. Add in Tremble, and we should be able to compete. Easy Peasy.

"Change of Scenery" is a cliche', because it's true. It happens quite often. But man, there are quite a few Huddlers who are absolutely convinced that Sam is going to fail. He is stepping into a situation that is absolutely taylor made for him. Talent at the skill positions. OC with the ability to scheme to Sam's strengths. A Coach who is perfect for this process. The only negative for Sam's success is the Oline. If they can be adequate, or even better, Sam may just show out. With Training Camp just 2 weeks away. It is the perfect time to be excited for the year to come. Football is in the air. That is defiantly something to smile about.

"I think he is going to attempt the Reverse Weinke" "That's a bold move Cotton, I hope it works for him." Yup, works for me. lol

The movers didn't bother you the other day delivering my couch into your head? There is a whole lot of room up here. I may get a bigger tv, and maybe a recliner. Oh, oh, oh and a mini fridge. Just admit it. You love me. You must, cuz you talk about me all the time. I mean, C'mon man. You let me live rent free in your head as it is. lol @ you. Now go away, or I shall be forced to taunt you a second time.

Yupperz, just a Panther fan who comes here to converse with others about our favorite team.

The difference being. My response was just a post.

It is just a saying. I was in the middle. So voila. No ulterior motive involved.

A rose between two thorns. lol

Weinke won his first start, then went winless the rest of the year. 1-15 baby.

Part of me wants to say, you go boy. Stick up for our guys. But part of me wants to say. Is there really such a thing as a good excuse to disparage someone?

Thankfully, there are still a bunch of Huddlerz who still like to discuss football. So at least we haven't sunk out of sight. Yet. But we are on life support at the moment. And we do have a couple really good Trolls hanging around. They can be extremely entertaining. Folks trying their dammdest to talk sense into a Troll is priceless. I will say, man, I hope we start fast this year. Cuz if we start the year out badly. This place may be toxic.

I truly do try to only respond to post that are actual football related. I hate getting sucked into those throwing shade tirades. It is too damm draining. But it is getting more, and more difficult to ignore those. Mainly because there are just so many of them. Then you get sucked in, and then you feel like an idiot for falling for it again. lol It's a vicious cycle.

I did start by saying that my numbers were shaky, and they would be approximations. I was just hoping to be close. But yeah, I want that long term deal done. I don't want our first attempt at keeping a star player to go down the tubes. I also agree that if we give Moton a 4 or 5 year deal. Not matter how much it is, by the time the deal is done, it will not look nearly as bad. So I say go for it.

Wow, that's an awful lot of hate for a person you have probably never met, or talked to, or have any idea what is actually going on in his head. Interwebz warrioring at it's finest. I tell ya what.
