He who worries about getting respect, never gets it

One law of football

that is all

Talked about it some in another thread. Following up on that thought here.

What do I really think about the "disrespect" the Panthers are getting?

I honestly don't care.

People think they know how good or bad the team is based largely on the end of last season and this year's preseason. In truth, both of those things don't tell us jack. At this point, nobody in the media has any more of a clue than the fans do. That's just basic reality.

I have no idea how good the Panthers will be this year. Maybe they'll be great. Maybe they'll stink. There's any of a hundred factors on which the whole story could turn, and nobody here can predict them.

Still, some will try. Me? Since I'm not paid to speculate, I don't see much point. Nor do I see much point in wringing our hands over disrespect, whether it's real or perceived.

If the team is great, it'll all be irrelevant and we can revel in how wrong it was.

If the team sucks, it'll all be deserved and we won't have much of anything to say in response.

But until something actually happens, it's all meaningless.

Call me when there's actually something tangible to go by.

      Hendon Hooker signed to practice squad

      Well, as far as backups go, Kyle Allen is actually a decent one.  Better at this point than Dalton probably. That being said, Hooker apparently had an atrocious game against the Texans.

      i wouldn't say that yet. I also wouldn't say he's done anything that makes me think he's particularly good. i think that's about right for compensation both ways for thielen considering the state of the vikings and Panthers.  The weirdest thing is that technically the panthers should be adding veteran salary cap right now; they have a high cost first overall qb on a rookie contract; that's the best advantage in the NFL in this day and age. It hasn't worked out because, well, the qb they drafted isn't good and they've ignored other parts of the team to try to bolster him.  so what's morgan really supposed to do? Are they tanking with a rookie qb in year three that the owner probably personally wanted drafted? Are they actually trying to win games this year with 80 career catches between their top three receivers? The defense is probably going to be terrible. What kind of jump are people actually expecting from Coker, Bryce, XL, and performance from a rookie to overcome that? It's not realistic.  At the end of the day I don't think Thielen wanted to end his career here and I don't blame him. Minnesota is going to compete this year and Carolina isn't. I also think this is to toss Bryce to the wolves and be done with him one way or another. There's no way this works. This is not a move you make if you're trying to win football games.

      If he helps them win a super bowl the individual award is irrelevant.
