Panthers in the news for all the wrong reasons


Jmac

Recommended Posts

Last weekend this team went on the road, and beat a division rival with a back up QB. Sirius NFL radio did not talk about it at all.It was like it never happened.If it wasn't for the Hardy fiasco.Cams donkey Kong comments, and Smith cursing us out...we would not exist to the national media.R.R needs to turn this negative into a positive.Being "relevant" for the right reasons starts Sunday.I am proud of this team for the players they have, how they give back to the community, and the overall stand up guys they are. This team is more then one player and if need be, will carry on as strong as ever, no matter what may happen.they need to have one goal and one focus...to be the first NFC South team to repeat as champions...2015 NFL South champions.

<p>Nothing new is it? We're the team known for lesbian cheerleaders causing trouble in bathrooms. The team known for domestic violence (Rae Carruth trial, the RB who was shot by his GF, Greg Hardy). Then we had Smith beating up his teammates over the years</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The NFL problems, Panthers problems, etc, are really just a microcosm of bigger problems in American society.</p>

<p>It's important to draw a line between criminal and silly though. Cam is immature but he's not harming anyone, just damaging his own rep.</p>

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
