Also have to realize if something happens during the course of a seaosn vs off season.....reactions will be different. People in season are around you everyday and the organization is in the loop....and it impacts when you work.

Offseason? It could actually be easy for a death not to get much attention unless the player is in touch with the team.

That's not at all true in this case. This was all over ESPN because of his mom's battle with breast cancer and all that DeAngelo has done over the years to drive breast cancer awarenessawareness within the NFL.

Oh just stop it. The team dropped the ball on that one big time.

wait so DeAngelo's mom dies, who he is extremely close to, to the point where he was the leader behind the whole wearing pink during October, and we are calling him sad and petty for being upset the organization didn't reach out to him?

no, we're calling petty and sad that he's airing out on national media after being released. he has a problem with the FO, and should have dealt with the FO. don't air your dirty laundry on the way out. that's childish and petty.

still one of my favorite panthers of all time, and I will wear his jersey proudly.

imagine one of your parents dying and going into work and no one sends their condolences. highly doubt you would enjoy that environment, but yes lets all pretend this is on DeAngelo.

Didn't his mom pass away in the offseason? So that scenario isn't really accurate.

Wouldn't it be more like what If you took a a couple month vacation and it happened then?

DWill says JR didn't reach out to him and posters here are attacking DWill. Huddle logic ftw.

He has every right to be upset if the organization did nothing. What if your mother died and no one within an organization in which you loved and worked hard for did nothing?

Yea, how petty of him.

This is such a weird one for me. I don't think DeAngelo would lie about this, he must honestly feel like they slighted him in some way. And yet I can't possibly believe that the Panthers would ever intentionally slight him either. AND this involves a person's actual death which just makes the whole thing more squeamish.

 

I don't usually do this, but I'm not going to post any opinion on this one way or another. We'll never know the whole truth, there's probably some fault on both sides. Pointless to speculate.

 

We'll miss you D-Will! Great Panther.

      RUMORS: Panthers schedule leak

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      Hoping for mostly 1:00PM games. I wouldn't think that'd be a problem given how we've played.

      Rookie camp starts Friday

      Don't know anyone can pass Smitty other than his stats, he'll always be the goat.  I do expect XL to break all rookie receiving records.  Hopefully Bryce develops a connection with him and delivers the ball on time because I have a feeling he will have no problems getting open in the NFL.

      Jim Nagy on Dave Canales

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Exactly, Coker was someone most people knew about. He was rated by the NFL as a 5th/6th round pick and I’m sure we scouted him. Acting like he’s an unknown UDFA is silly as he probably was among the first folks we talked to post draft. Canales knowing about Coker doesn’t make him a winning coach, nor does it make Coker a better prospect. If they are, they are, not because Nagy’s impressed that Canales knows Coker. Maybe we should be less impressed that Nagy doesn’t know Coker. I’m way more optimistic than last year, mainly because Fittermagic is gone but I’m waiting until we win before we announce that we’re all good now. Feels like every year since the 1-7 finish in 2018 we have these same OMG this guy does it way differently than our scrubs before until we realize we hired or kept scrubs and they weren’t better.
