Just wanted to get the word out,

 

Colin Cole is hosting a 1 day football camp on June 8th at South Mecklenburg H.S. for kids ages 7 to 18 years of age. Colin will be joined by several other Panthers teaching football drills to young men. The cost for the camp is $30.00 which includes a free T-shirt, camp medal, and autographs of your favorite Panthers. To sign up go to www.hillmansportslive.com under camps.

 

Please help me get the word out there, and have a great showing for Panthers fans.

Don't use the Jets as a barometer of success. Mayock said that numerous teams ahead of us were stupid for passing on Star and it shows how bad their front offices are. I believe we worked Star out in Utah IIRC.

 

I'm still not sure why Star fell as far as he did, it's really not making sense unless maybe there's something else we don't know.  The whole heart scare thing was found out to be a misdiagnosis... so why didn't teams pull the trigger on him?  Like the Jets for instance.  Star was regarded as, hands down, the best DT in the draft yet they pick Richardson.  Then again it is the Jets I guess.

 

Did we even bring Star in for a work out prior to the draft?  Since the general consensus was that he'd be gone before we ever had a chance at him

 

I don't know, maybe I'm just being cautiously optimistic, but the Panthers haven't really given me much reason to be anything but so these past few years.  That said I'm still excited as fug about our front 7 and hoping Star is everything as advertised.

 

 

 

several teams eliminated star from their boards as soon as there was any concern. jets were probably one of them.

 

it didn't matter if it ended up being a misdiagnosis for those teams, they weren't going to do invest any resources into trying to figure it out.

This could be an ideal situtation for Cole.  He will be in the rotation but won't be required to starter.  Kind of like the way we brought Thomas Davis back. 

 

He looks like a really big run stuffer.  Him and Star on goal line would clearly clog the middle up for sure.

 

i'm excited about seeing this, tho i hope i don't have to see it too often. if this defense works the way it should, goal line battles should become much less common.

Speaking of clogging the middle, hope the Panthers have a good plumber on speed dial. That guy looks like he could easily clog a few toilets in the locker room. :stuff:

This fat boy here will make a difference, if healthy. A big if.

See, this right here is part of the problem. He is healthy. He has made a huge impression on his teammates. He has been working since the day he signed. He is going to be huge.

Star, Short, Cole, and Dwan. That my friends is a rotation from hellz.

He would not have been signed if he were not healthy. You don't sign a player who has been out for almost two years, if you don't check his medicals.

I have no doubt they thoroughly checked his medicals, but let's not get carried away that means a huge vote of confidence. He signed for a 1 year vet minimum contract.

 

He was signed on the hope he'd come back to form, but there are no guarantees  If he was a proven commodity, he would have gotten more money.

 

Don't get me wrong. I love the move, and I hope the Cole pans out, but until I see him in games and healthy at that, I'm not going to expect too much from him.

Little reason to doubt that he's healthy right now.

The question with those who have either severe or multiple injuries in their past is always whether they will stay that way.

If the answer is yes, plenty of reason to be optimistic.

Yes.  I am pumped about him. If he gives us a good year, it will be tremendous to Star's development.  In a perfect world, we develop Gaydosh or (that DT from Oklahoma)  on the PS for a year or two and move him up when Cole ages out.

Cole was grateful for the opportunity the Panthers gave him. To play football again. He has shown his gratitude by basically out working everyone. He is ready to go, and we will benefit by his presence.

I know it is difficult to believe, given our past and all, but this team really is close to being pretty darn good.

No problem with you wanting to wait until you are shown things are different up in here. I just feel it is more fun to go with the excitement angle and be giddy over where we are headed.

Most folks around here agree that we have a bright future. Me? I see a bright present.
