Damn This Part Of The Offseason + Office Banter

[JawnyBlaze]

Around my office they talk cricket and rugby...

There's 3 things I don't discuss at work: religion, politics and the Panthers.

But people who bring up the "year's worth of tape" notion seem to forget that Cam's also got a year's worth of tape on himself against NFL defenses now, and with all this kid has accomplished this will be the first year he's been in the same offense for more than one year.

The "year's worth of tape" argument works both ways. If we were running some gimmick offense like The Golden Calf of Bristol last year, then I would be concerned, but I'm not.

They get us all excited with the schedule release, and then the draft... And then..... Nothing!

I've been sitting in my office this am which consists of about 10 guys who are all very "in the know" type guys, and we've been breaking down schedules and talking about additions that teams have made. Arguing amongst ourselves, and making the usual offseason predictions division by division... Everybody's juices are flowing now... And now we gotta fuggin wait... I could scream right now!

The conversation was going great until we started talking about our division. They all know how due hard of a Panthers fan I am... I heard their arguments. Some made sense, while some did not. My football analysis part of my brain says that we're probably another year away, but my homer side of my brain says that it can happen this year!

Then Cam came up. The talk of teams having a years worth of tape on him, sophomore slumps, and the lack of a "burner" WR... How can we agree on most everything we've been talking about and be so far off on the Panthers!? I pride myself in keeping an open mind and not talking crazy when I talk about our squad, but I really feel as though we can make a deep run this year!

I know that these kind of conversations are probably going on if offices accross the country, which leads me to this...

What's going on in your offices? What are people saying? Share some stories... What else do we have to do until TC?

The end result of their NFC South Division went like this:

Atlanta is the Team to beat, TB will be much improved, The Panthers will find ways to lose, and the Saibts will have to out score everybody to have a chance! Damn them all!!! I can't fuggin wait for the Panthers to clean house this coming season while I talk poo in the office week in and week out all season long!

Smitty and Gettis say hi.

Most people don't care about working at their job and do the least amount needed to get by.

Thank you for not being one of them.
