Excuse me if I sound inconsiderate.  I think that it was highly ill-timed to call him before one of the biggest situations in his career to tell him this.

I am taking away the fan/ football aspect.  If I were going in for a corporate meeting I needed to nail, (though I may say I would want to know when it happens) for my sake tell me afterwards.

Are you fuging kidding me?  We're talking a game.  An important one, but still a game.  A loved one of his had just died. He has every right to know.

 

edit: regardless of what he is being paid to do, blah blah... I would never want someone to withhold news like that from me in hopes I perform better. fug them.

No I am not "fuging kidding you",  If my SON were about to have to endeavor in one of the biggest situations of his career I would withhold the news from him personally.  I have seen him work his entire life for one moment. Blood, Sweat and Tears. I am not allowing him to take on that moment with such a heavy and grieving heart. 

 

You are speaking to me as if I said "Who cares about his grandma, Super Bowl all the way!"

We aren't talking about her being in critical condition.  Someone will take this as me being heartless but you have to truly understand where I am coming from... sadly she was gone.  There was nothing that he could do at that point.  Had she been close sure let him know and give him the choice of being there one last time. However I do not personally agree.

 

But ultimately that is between him and his family, and I can see how my opinion may be an unpopular one. But don't take my message as one of "Who cares about the players as people."

I totally agree with pantherboy. I've told everyone I know not to call me in the middle of the night to tell me somebody's dead, suddenly or otherwise. Tell me in the morning. I can't do anything about anyway, so I'd rather be rested up before getting some bad news like that. I don't play football, but I wouldn't want to be told any bad news right before a game, wait till it's over.

IF CJ had said not to tell him, that is fine, but it sounded like you were suggesting doctors deliberately with hold information just so he'd play better, which is shitty if CJ didn't ask for it imo

No, definitely not the doctors. That would be such an douche thing to do and warrant punishment if doctors did that as fans. 

I meant his family, if that makes any difference.

Anyway regardless they made the decision they did and quite frankly it's not my business anyway.  Just hate to know he had to play out there in that environment with that weighing on his mind.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
