WFNZ update


Zod

Recommended Posts

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.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
