I'd be happy with an hour of silence instead of listening to Marc James. I hope they shift Garcia to the later time slot.

Back to the OP, good timing for Marc to leave. With all the guest fill-ins upcoming we will get a lot of Panther info from different perspectives. Hopefully we'll get a Jordan Gross fill-in one day.

Not sure what Gary Williams is doing these days but he was solid on the morning show. I would not mind

 

I think he's working for the Golf Channel. WFNZ would probably be a step back from that.

 

I just want someone who is passionate about sports in general and local sports specifically. Packer didn't seem all that interested in sports as a whole. Marc and Taylor were a little too interested in their own teams. I really enjoy the Mac Attack, if they could find that sort of dedication to local sports and self deprecation I'd be happy.

 

A thing I found irritating about the Drive was callers couldn't rip the hosts without getting cut off and lectured on why they were right. When the Panthers started winning and the fans wanted them to eat crow the response was "you guys are just being fans, no one would believe in this team". Sometimes letting a fan rip you or even admit you were wrong goes a long way. No one wants to listen to someone promote themselves for 5 hours a day.

That's an idea. I think Frank would be great in the later time slot. I have always enjoyed his show and he's a nice guy to boot.

That is one thing the morning show and Garcia is good at. They don't seem to take themselves too seriously and can see another point of view. I know some folks hate those shows but I think both were better than the afternoon one.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
