Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

How many are better than the cardinals or saints -
David Tepper has donated the Carolina panthers to me. it is an incredibly generous offer and one I’m humbled to accept. executions will begin promptly at noon tomorrow at the 50 yard line. General admission. Doors at 10. There will be a raffle where ten lucky fans will get a piece of Bryce Young’s desecrated corpse! Sponsored by CPI and Bojangles.

The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.

Are panthers fans not allowed to think a player or coach on another team is good? -

Shough immediately looked the part in a tough situation in a way Bryce never has. He’s gonna be good for a while. Saints have their next coach and qb for ten years. -
Bryce Young 5th year option exercised
electro's horse replied to T-Wazzle's topic in Carolina Panthers
lol there’s a lot of reasons he didn’t get drafted. But specifically he had to go somewhere like Baltimore as an udfa because you absolutely cannot let him near a team with anything less than a carved in stone qb situation. Pavia would absolutely rip a locker room apart if he’s not starting above someone he’s better than if you follow your SEC goss the main thing you heard about him is that his team mates LOVED him and would have run through wall for him. He’s just got it. And he knows it. Hes got at least as good a physical tool set at Bryce. Canales has a credibility problem in general, to say nothing about religious baggage. Can you imagine if the whole team saw Pavia showing up first at the facility, hung over from banging strippers all night, covered in glitter, outperforming Bryce in practice, actually being willing to take a hit, not being a weird little closeted psychiatrists kid, and still not starting?
