Mic Mixon Coming up on Fox Sports Radio (National)

Check it out at foxsportsradio.com, iheartradio app, or in Charlotte on 98.7.

 

The National guys have really surprised me with their coverage of the Panthers. They are intrigued by a team that went 2 months without winning followed up by a month without losing. We didn't back into the playoffs like many .500 ish teams that have made it before. 

 

I don't have an exact time by the way. It was teased 15 minutes ago.

I like Mick. I know some folks don't, but I do. He works well with Eugene, Szoke and Gross.

He's been around long enough that I identify him more as the voice of the Panthers than Bill Rosinski.

 

Most of his calls lack excitement, he has trouble spitting it out. My favorite Mic Mixon call though is the Brockelrooski.

As a former radio and tv broadcaster myself....I can tell you that Mic Mixon has the talent of a junior college communications major and the voice of one too..........can't stand that guy.

 

But I'm old school..........Vin Scully is the voice and way to deliver a sporting event.

He went to the Cam Newton School of Metaphors. He went to class the first week and figured he had a good enough grasp to branch out on his own.

He is the most lethargic call guy I have ever heard. He is the smooth jazz of sports commentators maybe even Gregorian Chant either way it's a boring ass radio voice.

Great to talk shop with in the parking lot but conveying emotion over the airwaves is not his strong suit and unfortunately that's what makes his job important.

Yeah Mick is pretty terrible, but we're probably stuck with him for a while.

How about the stupid "huddle up" he does before every game?

And when a big play happens, like the Tre Boston interception return for a TD he's like "And it's.....intercepted! Boston to the 30, 20......(silence).....and he's in for the touchdown".

Like wtf, that was the biggest moment of the season.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
