IMHO the offensive line is the bedrock of your entire team. It all starts there. Pass play. Run play. Every offensive snap depends on the offensive line winning. And we've all seen great defenses falter when an offense can't sustain drives, and they're going back out on the field gassed after a 3-and-out. It all starts with the O-line. So a big investment in your line, and the interior in particular, is an investment in building a winning team.

These two guards have been worth every penny.

Guys who are not driven for football greatness frequently check out after their big payday comes. They have elite ability which carried them. But They are not true leaders. Losing is ok as long as ‘I got mine.’ It only takes signing one of these dudes to cost a GM and coach their jobs.

Robert Hunt plays like he’s still in college. Horn plays like he’s still in college. Chuba plays like he’s still in college. Brown, same thing. 

Losing is not ok, especially to these dudes. attitude is infectious; it goes both ways.  It also helps that all 3 are top 5 in the NFL at their respective positions (who would have thought?). They walk the walk. This is the core that grooms the rookies on ‘how to be a professional.’ This is our nucleus. 

This is also why we have to retain Horn. Dan is building a nucleus. Guys like this don’t just come along and happen in to your lap every day. He is building a team in his image. 

Previously, we’ve overdrafted tweeners based off combine results and signed oft injured big name has beens who look at us as a retirement home. Dan is bringing in and retaining true football players. 

Finally we can have something nice… hopefully.

 Dan didn’t just bring in a guard. He brought in Robert Hunt. Bad M’fer.

He’s a culture creating player… infectious enthusiasm, high energy and effort all game.  

Waving at the RB mid play saying “come on” after he opened a hole on the td run… hes my new fav player.

this.

changing the culture takes time, a lot of work, and shared experiences...caught up in "the battle" together fighting through while winning and losing, but constantly trying to get that W and do better every day/week. 

It also takes big personalities like Hunt showing the rest of the crew how it's done. attitudes like his are infectious.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I can tell you this:  I was a fan of Cam the football player and I used to tell Huddlers that Cam would have a short career and the ripped me.  My thinking, he was not that accurate (overthrew a lot) and his incredible athleticism would save the day.  I compared his career to that of a RB--when his legs start to diminish and his body has taken a beating, he will be a liability.  Not to say I was right--I hated it when I saw it. Here is how I was wrong:  I saw Cam acting like a "showboat" during games--hamming it up---the "Look at me" virus. I thought that is disrespectful to teammates.  I saw him doing it at the first practice at BOA when he was a rookie in August.  Then I started watching practices.  With no audience, he was the same way when it was just his teammates.  It was passion, not attention-seeking, and his teammates loved him and he loved them. A few years earlier, I watched Steve Smith at an OTA.  He was berating Wayne Jarrett.  I noticed than none of his teammates approached him or wanted to talk to him.  He was a loner--except, oddly, John Kasay.  He and Kasay seemed close.  Cam deserves a statue, picture, and banner in our stadium. He should be an ambassador.  Smith, on the other hand, punched teammates twice and badmouthed the franchise when he went to Baltimore.

      No, My reasoning is that we don't know what happened behind the scenes, and all the former players who were invited have been more involved with the Panthers on a regular basis. It's the equivalent of not speaking to a friend in years, then finding out later that he's upset because he wasn't invited to your party.

      Bryce Young is HIM.

      We'll stop complaining about the massive mistake we made with Bryce overlooking his obvious lack of physical talent when we start fielding a competitive football team again. Until then... well, it sucks to suck. But really there's plenty of other talk. Bragging about our revamped OL. Hope with our young WRs. Chuba is balling out, etc. You're just finding what you want to find. Meanwhile, five posts in and you're already going political on the football forum. I know where this is headed. Enjoy Discord.
