Hell, Jon, this site is mobile compatible. That's the only way I roll. I've mentioned Brave Browser a few times. Works like a charm.

So, what you're saying is that Santa is real?

Crow is the one thing that really doesn't taste great when slow-cooked, especially when you basically paid out the ass to buy it. It could maybe be an acceptable meal, but only if you don't mind waiting forever to let it cook and watching others eat fine portions of steak in the meantime.

I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative. He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers." That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

From NFL.com: He's our guy," Brown said on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast. "We ride with (No.) 9 all the way through. That's one of those things that people don't want to admit how good he's becoming because they're going to have to go back and admit how wrong they were. As we all know, people don't like doing that." https://www.nfl.com/news/panthers-derrick-brown-people-don-t-want-to-admit-how-good-bryce-young-is-becoming Just for accuracy, I have not completely dismissed Bryce out of hand, but I'm almost (almost) as skeptical as one can get without being completely out. And, for the record, Derrick, as a Panthers fan, I'd love to admit that I was wrong.

The author was probably fixated on the playoff game against the Rams.

I mean the reason I believe Brazzell caught the attention of everyone is how he could drop his hips, change direction and create separation (as in the case of the Georgia game). Chark could do none of that; He basically relied on straight-line speed, just like Robbie Anderson. If you watch Brazzell, he can drop his hips and change direction relatively smoothly.

Carry my gear, rook!

Did Morgan want to draft Bryce (or Stroud)?

I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

Dan isn't stupid. He's being positive and diplomatic without explicitly saying that if Bryce isn't good enough that he won't be extended. It's all on Bryce, y'all. This season is sh¡t-or-get-off-the-pot time.

Well hell, maybe it was the Observer one that I'm thinking about. Sorry, y'all.

ladypanther probably doesn't remember, but when I was green young Huddler here, I got upset about being trolled, and she basically told me to "chill out" in so many words or that I wasn't gonna make it here taking things so personally. Well, I reflected on it, observed and learned the culture, and here I am after all these years. So, in a way, y'all can thank ladypanther for my decades of, sometimes provocative, content.

It used to be connected to the Panthers web site. They got tired of all the "bad spiritedness," and decided to shut that sucker down. They gave us a heads-up though. In the meantime, Jeremy started the Carolina Huddle and was allowed to tell people on the old one that there was a new place that we could go, so the Huddle was born and thrived.
