Panthers fan competing at Wimbledon

Not sure if many of you follow tennis, I don't really. But I was in the break room at work just now and caught a bit of a Wimbledon match featuring NC native John Isner. The announcer made a comment that he's a big Panthers fan and his twitter is full of #keeppounding stuff. He's currently playing in the semi-finals, and it's one of the longest matches in pro tennis history (6+ hours!). So if you want someone to root for in pro tennis, he's your guy!

Just your little interesting sports tidbit of the day.

Yeah he had Steve Smith watch him from a box at the one of the majors and Smith invited him to a game I think.

If you are not familiar isner had the longest game in pro tennis history.

    • No one is asking him to be Tom Brady. They're just asking him to be as good if not better than Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz. We'd like Young to be better than Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, but we're not even asking for that. No matter how you cut it he's going to be considered a bust for what was given up for him. He should be outpacing Cam Newton, Jake Delhomme and Kerry Collins game for game in their careers. He should at least be challenging the clutch level of Brady, Mahomes, Stafford, Goff, Garoppolo, Burrow, Hurts and Purdy. Remember that's based on the draft capital given up for Young, and not the extremely low bar Young has actually set for himself.
    • Even if you cherry pick Bryce post benching and ignore everything else and project it out over a full season….. there is no statistical  argument Kyler has ever been worse.   I’m no Murray fan as I agree he is more athlete than QB.   And I’m open to Bryce improving and support us continuing to develop him as this point.  
    • We need LBs--build the roster from the bottom up.  On offense, we have Coker who has been huge...if you fill your weaknesse without having to use free agent $$$ or draft picks--win win.
