Pst, not everyone is nice on this here Intronet.

All Huddle Avatars are now required to be a verified driver's license or state ID card.

When everyone knows who you are you will be polite.

good and toughtful perspective. however, i wish you good luck with trying to slow down people overanalyzing or overprognosticating, based on or reacting to media hype, preseason observations, and subjective homerism. luckily this kind of uninteresting speculation will almost vanish once the regular season starts and people have real results to overanalyze or overreact to.

You guys are all jerks.

I thought this was a pretty toughtful post.

you are toughtful

Actually no one is. And for some reason this board along with every major broadcast (ESPN, NFL Network) and team message board assumes that there is a continuity in the NFL. That whatever was happening 8 months before the new season started is AND WILL be the norm for the new year. That was not the case 10 years ago, that is not the case today.

In countless hours of reading, watching, listening to NFL coverage, I have not seen one person claim a team lower than 4 and 12. The sad thing is that every year, nearly 6 to 10 teams have at least an equal or lower record than 4-12.

At the same time, for the past 14 years in the NFL an average of 6 teams has made the playoffs in which they didn't the year before. So to think that days or months before actual season starts, that you can pencil in a new world champion, as well as decide win-loss records based on the schedule is ridiculous.

That applies to all logic as well, 8-8 2008 Saints(5000yd QB year) becoming the 13-3 world champions is as equally as possible as the 11-5 panthers winning the NFC south or the 2-14 Panthers drafting 1st in 2010. That old QB browns Derek Anderson once had a record of 10-6 as a starter and got cut the next year, so those throwing out the 6-2 as starting QB for #3 realize that it could go either way, and I hope it goes the right way (nothing but wins).

Really no one knows what kind of team they have until late October, and no one here really can tell me with a straight face that our team is gonna rock or bomb, so with that in mind stop making stupid predictions and lets get this thing started, and hope we kick that GIANTS ass. Go Panthers

i'd get used to it

Complaints about not enough spacing? Come on, really? I actually think some of you hang around here just waiting for new threads to derail. Anyways, I thought it was a pretty good read.....not the typical Moore sucks or we need a new WR threads I've been seeing. Let week one play out and we'll go from there.

Uh, maybe some of us just like to be able to read what the post says. It is very difficult to read a huge block of text, hence why such things as paragraphs exist.

My avi is my actual picture. lol

I think making predictions is a pointless thing to do. But so is playing fantasy football and in all reality so is posting on this forum. I enjoy these things and will continue to do them. Good post though I see your point though I don't completely agree. I think team can build momentum at the end of a season that can carry over into the next season. Both good and bad momentum to a degree.

I guess none of you participate in march madness brackets, Zod's weekly prediction game, fantasy football or read Peter King (who has the Panthers at 10-6)

should we just delete the message board then, clawsom?

[Mother Grabber]

should we just delete the message board then, clawsom?

I believe that's "Clawsome"

[eViL jEsTeR]

awesome is spelled wit an "e" thus "Clawesome" and not "Clawsome".

if you're going to steal the name i coined, at least spell it correctly.
