I'm actually under 50. I just look over 50.

Girlfriend is in her late 30s but looks like she's in her mid 20s.

I get compliments on having a lovely daughter :(

Sounds to me that the insult is well worth it.  I have a wife who looks 35 and is actually 53.  I look 53.

Should've never kept him over Barnidge in the first place.  Didn't like it when it happened, absolutely hate it now that Barnidge is tearing poo up

Barnidge was a terrible blocker.  I don't ever think the pass catching part of his game was the problem.  It is good to see him still playing and maybe he has learned to block but in the long run he is a poor man's WR.

I guess there are still pro- Lee Ward Huddlers.  I get it, everyone likes a dark horse.  But IMO, he just doesn't fit our scheme.  We have to compensate for our WR corps, and the best way to do that is use a combo of pass-catching RBs and run-blocking TEs in the backfield.  If Ward is put back there [assuming he can crack the roster], then defenses could just ignore him, and focus on whoever else is back there.  His blocking abilities would have to waaaaaaay overshadow what Tolbert or Dickson bring to the table.  And I just don't see that.  Now, when we're up and want to pound the clock, then I can see traditional I-sets and running it up the gut, but that's a huge decision to take a roster spot for a very particular set of circumstances.  What we have now is working, and I believe Ward would just throw a kink in it.

Sometimes fate demands that you do today what should have been done yesterday .  

Ron and Dave are slow to change,  and sometimes injury is the only thing that will force their hands. 

Good luck to Richie,  but I can see better days ahead for the Panthers with Simonson in the mix.

Hmm, I don't know about that.

Ron is the head coach, ultimately he sets the roster. It isn't as if Dave is in Ron's ear everyday demanding that he keep certain players on the active roster no matter whether they are performing well or not. Besides, when a player is dealing with an injury, it changes the approach required.

      Panthers need to move on from Young ASAP

      By strato · Posted

      38 seconds in tells me he is full of poo and is spinning for clicks. You know how they say in court, where if they lie once you can assume they are lying always?  To me is doing a pretty spiteful thing I think, by putting those words in someone's mouth. Unless he knows that is true. Which I doubt. An honest person would not have said that to Tepper, so he basically assaulting Canales. It is not Canales' fault that Young will not adhere to the the coaching he was obviously given. And of course I am referring to that Buffalo series and the very noticeable footwork change. Evidence that he had the opportunity to be a better player but reverted to his wonky ass 'techniques'. Because it is fuging hard not to. But that is still on Young for not getting that done. And unless he gets it done he is just a fraud. A wannabe NFL quarterback, playing at it. I mean NFL quarterbacks are kicking his ass, even the rookies.  If he works to change this steadily he may be able to get it ingrained in a couple more months. That is as optimistic as I can be for him.  Riddick though, I don't don't listen to sports talk any more except what youtube clips I like but I used to think pretty highly of him. This is pretty sad, to see this scapegoating.  I can put words into Canales mouth too: "Mr Tepper, I have a pretty good feel for working with these guys, and have had some luck with it. You know Baker pretty well. That's my work with him.  But I have to be honest, I'm not sure i can promise I can fix Bryce. He has many challenges. There are things we can do to help but so much of it is up to him. If he is willing to listen and work, I am sure we can make him a better QB. How good will be up to him."   blah blah blah blah

      When dementia gripped my grandmother (and eventually took her), we each spent time with her and would try to correct her to what was reality and what wasn't. It was very tough on my Dad who she lived with for as long as they could care for her.  It seemed like she had become detached from her own timeline and would slide up and down it wildly. As my Dad said, "somedays I'm me to her, somedays I'm my Dad, somedays I'm her father, somedays I'm just the guy who works here. I tried correcting her but it just upset her. I found out that the best thing is to just not correct her and let her live out where ever and whenever she is."  And I'm not going to lie, it gets tough and eventually they leave their own timeline and it becomes unmanageable. Hold on to yourself and the ones you love through it all. Prayers for you and yours, man.
