Definitely not wrong. I remember when this place used to get trolls. This board was flooded with Mike Vick fanboys wayyy in its early years and there was so much funny poo talk. Huddle kinda blows now but thats because the internet by and large have moved away from forums since the mid 2000s and now its just old boomers like us still post on them out of habit

looking at what was up with the actual team when you joined is a real good way to feel old. i first came here to read discussions of Thomas Davis getting drafted. dude is on medicare now

in 2008 when i heard we were bringing moose back i googled panthers news to read more about it and came across the forum and blew the next decade and a half of my life accumulating forty thousand posts

can someone link that thread where jon beason (i think it was him) punched a huge douche at a club and his friend came in to defend him and it only made it worse.

that one is my all time favorite huddle thread. im pretty sure it was right after the great reset of 2008 so it should still be on this website somewhere

i wish i remembered more but my brain is mush.

the uniform poll rigging was definitely a highlight, that guy was so mad we ruined his article. we got all the way through the semi-finals on the strength of our spam, but a huddler (sadly forget who) stepped in with a bot to win us the finals.

a personal highlight that nobody else would remember/care is when i kept repeatedly asking @PandaPancake to fight me in real life in like 2015 and everyone got so mad about it and i got my only ever warnings. that was the hardest i've laughed to this day it just hit me right in the funny bone.

also one of 9lives/electro's real life friends/relatives coming to tell us that we need to excuse what he did because he was a 'good ole boy.'

i got really invested during the 2005 season and started looking at message boards for insight, since i don’t live anywhere near the carolinas and panthers coverage (let alone games) is really hard to come by in my area. eventually after being saturated with deeper knowledge, i started forming my own opinions, and from there it got to the point that i felt the need to voice them, and made a decision to register to one and shake things up.

there were several panthers boards floating in the ether but i had it narrowed down to two. it was either the huddle or thisboardrocks.

I was on the old Observer forum and @NanceUSMC suggested this place. Don't know when that was but was long before the crash. I miss Nance and some of the other great posters from that time.

Yeah, I used to frequent/post on the Observer's Panthers message board back in the day.  I seem to recall a poster that wasn't a regular over there started recommending this forum before it was called the Carolina Huddle.  I want to say it was Jeremy, but it is too long ago to remember.  Ghosted this site for about 5-6 years after that before I broke down and created an account... the rest is history.

People occasionally complain about the content, but in all these years I haven't come across another site dedicated to the Carolina Panthers that does it better.

Happy Anniversary Jeremy!

Thanks for your hard work and dedication!

I think it was SIGCHI. He had his work computers running bots overnight for votes. That guy was weird as hell but really cool. He had some inside info on Peppers coming back then dumbasses here talked poo to him about it and I don’t think he’s returned since that blowup.

It wasn't just one poster running bots. There was a whole squad of us running bots and we had a private message thread to coordinate.

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
