I guess this is a thing where people begin to forget the more time passes but my recollection of the huddle over the last 20 years is this is how it has always been. And if you attempt to wade into the murky waters of X or Facebook it's the same thing. The difference is people are bothered or unbothered by it based almost entirely on whether the context of the conversation is perceivedly positive or negative and reaffirms whatever biases they hold.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/articles/dynamic-offensive-weapon-already-turning-185615715.html Monster run game is about the only path to the playoffs for this years Panthers. So hopefully Brooks is set for a big season. It would certainly soften the image of the horror story that has been the 2024 draft class.

You do realize that throwing yourself into the middle of a busy street and whailing at the top of your lungs over people saying things that hurt your feelings doesn't make you a superior human being right? Seems like an extremely cringy waste of time and energy bud.

Pickett has a higher career YPA. I mean...

Holding one other accountable sounds good I like to hear it. I expect to hear it on the other end too if our centerpiece struggles to accumulate 100 passing yards across entire games again.

Cavs swept in the conference finals. Kenny Atkinson taking major heat from the sports media.

Not exactly going out on a limb but he is absolutely correct. We've made some huge gambles on the defensive side of the ball with the size of some contracts let's just hope they pay off.

Meh. If it goes it goes. People still need thicker skin overall. We used to have an entire subforum called Smack Central that was no hards barred and resulted in some all time great content. We used to have rival fans post here regularly and engage in back and forth ribbing which if happened today would trigger tf out of a number of people here today who complain nonstop about current conversations here. In general this place is heavily sanitized compared to the huddle from 10 or 15 years ago. Change is inevitable but this is one of very few remaining original team message boards. Just enjoy it while it lasts.

This is only necessary for people who no longer have access to the corresponding email connected to their carolinahuddle account. Which is more common than you might think. In that instance you would need to create a secondary email for the huddle and yes you can link it to whatever is your current primary email if you so choose for less hassle. If people having this issue do not wish to go the suggested route that I have provided information on then they will be starting over with a completely new huddle account when that time comes. That is entirely their prerogative. Just trying to be helpful. But no one should be issuing complaints in the future about losing everything if such is the case because solutions have indeed been offered and discussed.

If you want to keep your current huddle account then you will have to create a separate email for the huddle and verify the new one via email. And you can also link the new email to your main email if you so choose. I would suggest using something like Proton Mail. It is a fairly straightforward process that shouldn't take more than a few minutes even on mobile.

I get what you're saying. In terms of our owner currently in comparison to the Colts owner the only positive development I've seen is he took a big hint and decreased his visibility in his public representation of the franchise. Whether or not he has actually pulled back behind the scenes will remain to be seen.

I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.

If you are still currently able to login to the account you can change the email address under account settings and then just confirm the validation email that is sent. It did in fact send the email. I just had to do this today. I would strongly encourage anyone else to do this now.

I've been critical of LaMelo but no way in hell would I swap him for Kyrie. This man actually thinks the Earth is flat and he's washed. There will be a number of options for us but that would be among the dumbest imaginable. Hard pass.

Ironically you are legitimately the biggest whiner on the huddle and you've only been daily posting again for less than a month. But keep thinking everyone else is the problem and you're great. Have a nice weekend.

Derrick Brown is a consummate professional and a great teammate. He knows the assignment. Not reading into it anymore than that.

I said all along what Rico Dowdle was doing was unsustainable. Plenty of RB's have flashed big numbers and then fallen off. It's the nature of the position now. But let's not get crazy here. At the end of the day there is unequivocally no postseason without Rico Dowdle. Bryce Young led the Panthers to a 4-6 finish was swept by the Saints and split with an at the time imploding Bucs team. We really are not in a position to talk about anyone else shrinking under bright lights. We're still waiting to see our #1 pick open the regular season not playing horribly.

Bryce at 31 seems harsh on the surface but everything they were saying was honest and realistic about his passing production and Simms specifically mentioned his lack of ability to utilize the middle of the field and they both acknowledged 75% of his starts last year were under 200 passing yards. If random fans here on the huddle and sports analysts can see it then every defense in the league knows it after 46 games. Simple truth.

Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total

This is true. And the fact of the matter is the second injury was entirely noncontact. That in itself is a major issue in terms of the will he or won't he talk regarding on if he will ever be able to establish any semblance of longevity in relation to an NFL career.

They horribly misspelled Rico Dowdle.

On the one hand I do feel like it will only be a matter of time before Rasheed Walker receives his share of criticism from Panthers fans. But we don't need any excuses this season. Keep the highest paid OL in the league intact and await the end result.

"Guys 2023 wasn't fair let's just pretend it didn't happen and give Bryce Young a pass for one of the worst rookie seasons in at least a quarter century". "Let's also pretend Bryce Young didn't start each season his first 3 years in the league playing like one of the worst Panthers QB's in franchise history". "Did you know Cam Newton had a down year in 2014? And we'll just completely disregard his record setting first 3 seasons in the league so that clearly means Bryce Young is actually good".

If there is a double standard at play here it is you picking a down year and selectively ignoring 2011 2012 and 2013 to denigrate the only MVP in franchise history because you want to carry water for a #1 pick who indisputably moves the ball at a historically low rate. Lower than Blaine Gabbert. In 2014 Newton in a down year where the Panthers had the 25th highest paid OL in the league and Byron Bell at left tackle he accumulated 3,666 all purpose yards 23 touchdowns 12 interceptions and 1 lost fumble Bryce's best statistical season to date where the Panthers had the highest paid offensive line in the entire league he accumulated 3,227 all purpose yards 25 touchdowns 11 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles Why is Cam Newton's floor more than acceptable for a #1 pick whose representatives in his fourth season in the league will be looking for him to be paid like a top 10 QB?
