Mike Minter Considers Running for Congress


Recommended Posts

I knew Minter was active in the community, but I've got to say I didn't see this one coming.

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/423/story/722657.html

Former Carolina Panthers safety Mike Minter said Wednesday that he will make a decision in the next few weeks whether to challenge for the 8th District seat.

The seat is currently held by Democrat Larry Kissell, who defeated 10-year Republican incumbent Rep. Robin Hayes in November's election.

Minter spoke minutes after returning from a two-day visit to Washington where surveyed the political scene. He said he would discuss the issue with his family and pastor before deciding.

This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. For some reason Mike always struck me as the politician type - perhaps it was his locker-room demeanor and the way he handled the press. Hell, maybe he could go level a few of the boneheaded idiots that are (unfortunately) running the show right now.

It took me a while but I searched the web to see what his major was in college. I thought maybe it was business or political science. Turns out he earned his degree in engineering! I don't his political views but to be so successful in so many different areas of life says a lot about the type of man he is and I think he would be very successful as a politician.

Holy crap - do you know his platform? You'd really vote for someone not knowing at all what they would stand for? Holy crap.

    • If there's a prospect who looks strong on the field but has the question marks, makes sense to bring them in and see if they are indeed a nutjob or not.  Especially if they couldn't get a good sense in limited time to meet him at the combine.  Randy Mueller has talked about it before -- many GMs don't just use these top-30s to validate the guys they already love.  Although we seem to do that and kind of show our cards a lot lol.   But to the point, if they love tape, have met enough coaches/teammates and talked to them at the bowls/workouts, many teams don't need to wine and dine and get to know them.   There's certain guys who get to know regional scouts, GMs and position coaches starting mid-college season last year.    On the flipside, there's the wildcards who aren't privy to developing relationships with the pro-community while in school, have bad reps, and teams need to dig a bit further into it.  A top-30 becomes a good measuring stick for those teams think could be a stellar fit but are unsure on who the guy actually is - which matters a ton at the end of the day.  Organizational fit has so much more weight than let on and is why these drafts after the first few picks get so all over the map.
