It's Mark Jones. Gantt has posted it at heraldonline.com.

meh.

...according to Gantt:

For the Panthers, Sunday was the equivalent of the old story about the duck. It looks calm on the surface, but is paddling like crazy down below.

They claimed their two guys off waivers -- DT Sonny Harris, RB Tyrell Sutton -- but there's a lot more activity going on behind the scenes. In fact, there's already a free agent in town to take a physical tomorrow. You'll have to wait for Monday's Herald for that one.

(To quote the great Steve Earle from an old live recording of "Guitar Town," ... "I'm such a tease, it's awful.")

With Gantt not saying the name yet, it has to be someone special. That way we don't get upset if things don't work out for him to become a Panther.

That's my line of thinking too honestly. He wouldn't leave us hanging for Dickshit McBallsack out of Cumstain State.

It might not be Smith (doubt it tbh) but it'll be someone good.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
