Deangelo's Parting Shot At The Local Media


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

I wonder why DeAngelo decided to be a dick to the media all of a sudden. I've always had a ton of respect for him and still do, it just seems like he wanted to copy Marshawn Lynch or something. Not every media member is out to screw over every person they cover. Having a chip on your shoulder all the time doesn't make you any better than the person you ignore.

No one is harder on the charlotte media than me and I think voth is pretty good. He covers everything Panthers and is fair. Joe person on the other hand is the worst beat writer I have ever encountered in any sport. It is embarrassing how awful he is at his job and he is the lead best guy. Jones isn't much better, but isn't as noticeable due to how awful person is.

Steve Reed works for the AP. He is perfectly fine at his job.

The AP is for stories and facts, not speculation. I enjoy Steve reeds columns.

posting this in all of the DeAngelo William threads, because he deserves it:

 

one of my favorite stats about Williams -

 

1,432 career rushes - 9 fumbles

(2008 273 rushes - 0 fumbles)

(2011 155 rushes - 0 fumbles)

 

1,655 total touches - 12 fumbles (10 lost)

(2008 295 total touches - 0 fumbles!!!!)

 

most fumbles in any season was 3.  Unbelievable ball security.

let us also not forget the equally bad Steve Reed. Very slow.

Why? He's been spot on with everything he's put out. Even broke the Smith being cut news.

Breaking a story is not the litmus test of good journalism.

Reed did a very good follow-up interview with Smitty.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
