Raw and unfiltered: a book about history and the 2015 season

Dear everyone,

The last couple of weeks have been absolutely exhausting. I've spent every night since Christmas up until 5am alternately writing, editing, and painting in order to provide you all with the highest-quality product we can muster. It's been incredibly tough but also deeply rewarding. Of course, we've had a lot of help along the way from incredible and generous friends, without whom this project never would've gotten off the ground. Thank you, guys and girls.

 And without further ado, we present Fifteen and 1: An Unofficial and Unfiltered History of Professional Football in Carolina.

Here are a few things you should note.

1) Fifteen and 1 is published through Amazon's platform, but you do NOT need a Kindle to read it. Any device - computer, tablet, phone - will do. Downloading it on any of those devices will simply prompt you to download the free Kindle Reader app, which takes like two seconds. In a pinch you can always download it here.

2) The book is composed of nearly 60,000 words. This is the length of a novel. That means you're about to read more about the Panthers than you've ever read in your life, all in one place for the first time. Before now there was no comprehensive guide to the Carolina Panthers; that changes today.

3) Due to licensing laws we were limited in how we could present this thing, both on the cover and in content. This means our cover doesn't use the franchise's name, nor explicitly represents a trademarked logo, copyrighted name, or otherwise licensed object or person (in case you were wondering why it doesn't say Panthers.)

4) If you enjoy the book, please leave it a five-star rating AND write a review (AFTER you've read the entire thing.) THIS IS IMPORTANT! A review doesn't have to be long, but written reviews (even if they're a sentence, or a line) do worlds of good for new authors. And remember criticism isn't a bad thing as long as it's not slanderous. Basically treat it like you would any book.

5) Feel free to discuss the book here in any fashion, be it positive or negative. However, please refrain from posting giant chunks of content here, since we're trying to incentivize people to download it. Also please refrain from being common asshats if the thought had crossed your mind.

Lastly, purchasing the book through the following link will let the Huddle benefit from your download, at no cost to you, and help keep this place running.

Happy reading!

please also note there are still minor updates taking place related to formatting; if you don't see the new cover right away, give it a few minutes and it'll show up. the table of contents may be glitching too, but it doesn't affect content.

seriously, thanks everyone!

Philly I have to say I'm very impressed so far.  I'm only on chapter 8 but I have no doubt I'll be done with this book in a day or two.  I'm an avid reader and can be pretty unforgiving when it comes to what I invest my time reading.  

To all huddlers you should buy this even if you aren't a big reader.  I know a lot about the Panthers and have been a die hard since day one but I'm learning things I never knew in every chapter.

This has been a fantastic read so far.  I've got to make the uptown lemonade.  Riot did a fabulous forward.  I had forgotten a lot of the early years such as Reich and the mascots shaking the goal posts.  You also brought back some painful memories of the bad years.  I'll probably finish this tonight.  Great job.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
