Florio: Naive to think FO unaware of Avant's comments before his release

Florio not only said someone knew, but he himself criticized Rivera's chicken poo play calling at the end of the game, and in a way Florio used that failure to mock anyone's misguided belief (Rivera included) that the Panthers are the masters of their own destiny because when the opportunity arose to take the bull by the horns, Rivera shied away from the moment. He did basically say that we could always get lucky, but that Rivera's moment was then.

 

You know, Huddle, at this point someone is taking Panthers' fans for fools.  I know Avant didn't mean much of anything to the offense (for what I consider mismanagement from the top), but he was a stand-up guy and obviously the only veteran that had the kahunas to say anything. I am not crying for Avant because he'll likely end up in a better position, but the FO must believe that they can shoot the fans anything and we will accept what they say on face value.  It's a bit insulting.

 

You think that either of the Mikes---Mike Pettine or especially Mike Tomlin shot their fans a load of poo, saying they didn't know about Ben Tate's or LeGarrette Blount's words, respectively?  And the thing is, their players were just unhappy with playing time. Avant was preaching the gospel truth.

In before the blind faithful of this team jump to the defense of the ultra-rich and powerful and start name-calling Florio without any basis in fact and say he knows nothing about football although he has probably three times the education of 98% of this message board's population.

 

After the Ben Tate and Blount issues with their respective teams, anyone who believes Avant's words weren't of any consequence is far too naive to even try to convince otherwise.

 

This statement says quite a lot:

"...Panthers are the masters of their own destiny because when the opportunity arose to take the bull by the horns, Rivera shied away from the moment."

because not showing up to games is exactly what players want to see in a fanbase when considering to re-sign here or come here in free agency 

 

 

ownership has already made their money and coaches aren't getting fired because fans do or don't show up (they get fired for winning and losing games)

And honestly that's because most panthers fans are fools and have been historically. They'll eat any crap product JR shoves in their face. That doesn't mean anybody here. No matter what ground you stand on in this forum, I'm pretty sure at some point in the last few years everybody has asked for something more from this product. But we represent a small minority of Panther fans, rare as we may be. I think it's safe to say there are some fans who put the fact that we suck solely on Cam and don't even know who Ron Rivera is. And at the end of the day you, me, madhatter, fiz (rip), phillyb, and so many more posters that come from a diverse range of views that agree that Ron and his crew of flunkie underlings need to go are going to get drowned out by people who basically think "that thurr cam newton needs to go cuz he sawks hueheheuuhehuehue" and nothing's going to happen at the end of the year. We'd be incredibly lucky to see Shula being given his walking papers.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
