Panthers Fan from across the pond

Hey,

Not sure if this is the correct area to post but hey ho, I guess is the way to find out right? Just wanted to give a short introduction. My name's Dan, I'm 27 years old and live in England. I'm a long time Panthers fan, having got into football back in 2005 and the following year, having taken a shine to the Panthers I wrote to the organisation and they responded providing a media guide and player autographs.. as you can imagine, my adoration of the team soon took shape. I actually travelled on my own across to Charlotte back in 2012 to take in a Panthers game against the Broncos. Unfortunately, Peyton did his thing and the result was disappointing but it was incredible to experience a game day, taking in tailgating, splurging on Panthers gear in the Pro Shop and screaming for the black and blue, be it from the 500 level. I'd love to make it back over some day soon, the plan is to hopefully get in another home game and setting up one on the road as well, I'd also love to attend a training camp one day and whilst in attendance, jot down some journalistic notes from an English perspective, perhaps eventually transforming them into a blog. Obviously as I'm sure you know the game of football has made great strides in terms of popularity over here what with the International Series games but unfortunately, I live in a very small area in Southern England and therefore, my thoughts and feelings with regards to the Panthers are for the most part kept under wraps.

It would be an absolute pleasure to discuss the ins and outs of the team with hardened followers from The States.

Thanks for your time and Keep Pounding!

I think the next few weeks will be a bit boring on the main board  but once Campbl opens it’ll get going. People freaking out and going by bat poo crazy if someone drops a pass or misses a tackle like in practice. 

Not sure if you’ve ever seen the sky fall (you guys have the metric system so that probably doesn’t happen) but you will see it fall on a daily basis here. 

Seriously though,  this is a great place for Panther conversation.  Welcome Home.

Sorry to drag this post up from page two, but welcome to the Huddle! Good to see another one of us on here.

It’s definitely worth coming back again before long, although whenever I’ve looked recently flights to Charlotte or Raleigh-Durham have always been so expensive no matter what time of the year. But match tickets are pretty reasonable and the pre-game experience with the Roaring Riot tailgate is fantastic to experience.

Thanks for the heads up and I get it, that’s understandable having been without football for so long! 

I don’t doubt this and thanks so much for the warm welcome, I can’t wait to properly get involved. 

I'll offer you a pair of great seats, regardless of cost, if you can snag the Baby Trump balloon and bring it to Charlotte.

No problem man, thanks for the welcome, I really do appreciate it.

I couldn't agree more, sadly that is the case but hey ho, for the Panthers it's more than worth it. Might have to bag a sneak flight via one of Wow Air's wooden planes haha.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
