Jonathan Martin had many problems

Per S.Reed. it appears he was suicidal on several occasions and also had substance abuse problems. Add this to the obvious personality/emotional problems he was dealing with.....just a ticking time bomb. Wonder how this slipped by the Panthers when evaluating  him. Unlike D.G to not do his homework on a player. The high stress environment of the NFL was definitly not for somebody with his issues. It was never meant to be.

people will say that this means richie incognito was right, but preemptively i'd like to note that this makes him even more of a colossal douche. people like jonathan martin need the help of their fellow human beings, not disgusting bullying and condemnation.

i hope someone in the panthers org or the NFL is trying to get him the help he needs, or nudge him in that direction.

No risk, high reward if he worked out, and we needed depth at the tackle position. I'm not even sure we would have had to pay him his salary this year.

It would have been dumb NOT to try and pick him up off waivers. Young Tackle a year or two removed from the second round, high upside that you don't have to pay? personal issues aside, you pick the guy up and hope for the best. He has personal demons to conquer so he retired to no fault of our own.

I doubt Martin was forthright with Incognito about his issues. It can be frustrating to work with/be friends with people that do shitty things that you don't understand. IMO Incognito was likely trying to do the right thing for Martin and for the team, After trying many times to reach out to Martin and help him eventually said and/or did regrettable things out of said frustration.

I know that I've said some pretty harsh things to people I cared about because I cared about them. If you don't care about someone you don't bother.

Sincerely doubt it.

Richie Incognito has a history of being a colossal asshole to pretty much everybody. Dude even got himself kicked out of the University of Nebraska. Transferred to Oregon and they didn't want him either. Likewise, he hasn't exactly stuck in one place in the pros because his act gets old fast.

I wouldn't put any stock in him trying to "do the right thing" because he never has.

I believe in trying to see the good in people.

 

How can you call this an asshole V

      Joe Person: Austin Corbett is not expected back with Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.

      Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
