The Live From Fan Fest Thread....

Ness has fresh legs.

BUT! Sometimes a guy finally gets it when he ends up on the right team.

Either way, competition is a great thing, and Norman and Hogan need to get fixed up.

Brandon Hogan is the new Thomas Davis.

At least Thomas Davis tries, Hogan won't even step on the field.

Like I said before, I think Hogan might be a hypochondriac. He shows a lot of characteristics of that disorder.

Just by tweeting things like "Getting Treatment" and stuff like that makes me think he has this particular disorder.

A closer view of the new wrap-around. I have a video of it in panorama shot that I will upload later. Again, just a link b/c of the file size.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

That looks really good. Thanks for the pic Sapper.

Brandon Hogan is the new Thomas Davis.

That correlation makes zero sense.

Here is a quick clip of the marching band as Sir Purr comes out. Longer one to follow. Had no idea if I was recording. Being red/green colorblind sucks.

Yes, Davis tries, but at the end of the day that doesn't really matter much. It could also be that he just doesn't know when to quit.

Maybe Hogan is content just to collect a paycheck and he'll never consider himself to be "ready". Maybe he's not going to overdo it until he is.

We can only speculate. But Davis "trying" doesn't earn him any more points with me than Hogan apparently "not trying" loses him any. All that really matters is what Hurney does with those positions if neither can stay on the field.

For now, it's "HOPING AND PRAYING" that Davis & Hogan can recover, which isn't what I would've done if I were GM.

Looks like everyone beats Captain, even WRs that will be cut.

Depends on what you're looking at.

When you're looking at NEVER BEING ABLE TO STAY ON THE FIELD, it makes 100% sense.

This "trying" crap that's all you all care about...maybe it doesn't in that world.

I'll take a competitor (Davis) over a sulk-er (Hogan) every day of the week.

The thing that separates the two is CLASS and whether you choose to recognize that or not, it counts for something as Davis's class has kept him around (along with him being willing to take a pay cut).

Kuechly nose is fine ... No stitches. Happened when Stewart's backflap popped thru helmet. Kuechly wore shield rest of practice.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Also a player that is willing to try will ALWAYS stick around longer than a player that won't try at all.

Example: Dan Morgan

I recognize it, it just wouldn't be as big of a factor for me as it is for Richardson and Hurney. In the end, if you can't stay on the field, not making any moves just because "I LIKE YOU AS A PERSON" hurts the team.

No rational person expected Davis to last all of last season, and Beason entered the season hurt. What did they expect to happen?

They HOPED it would all work out, and the Panthers imploded on defense when it didn't.

They should've moved on from Davis last year, but at least they brought in Kuechly this year.

Who wouldn't rather have someone who tries over someone who doesn't? If the result is the same, it doesn't really matter in the end, lol.
