How Bannergate SHOULD have been handled


PanthersATL

Recommended Posts

We all pretty much agree that the Panthers organization should not be stepping up to replace the Doofus Cheesehead banner.

But here's the deal - we also agree that the Panthers organization is lightyears ahead of other teams in terms of always taking the high road.  But in this case, it should NOT be the Panthers that ultimately replace that banner and deal with Doofus.

In all of the Bannergate talk, has anybody heard anything about how GREEN BAY is stepping up to support their one North Carolina-based fan?  I certainly haven't.

So why are the Panthers being classy and handling this?  Because the Panthers are awesome. 

But what should have happened is the Panthers should have called Green Bay and said, hey - we'll pay to replace the banner, whatever, but Doofus is YOUR fan so can you just handle it and make this go away for us?

If this exact same thing had happened to any of us in an opposing stadium, I would love to know that everyone in the Panthers organization from JR on down has their fans' backs, not that the opposing team/stadium owes me the replacement.

Look, stupid is as stupid does. Doofus just used bad judgement and it backfired on him. But he should be Green Bay's problem to solve, not ours.

The only way GB or the Panthers if the roles were reversed, could or should step up for a fan would be if said fan was not breaking the rules or just being a total douchebag, and well...

 

But, it's Wednesday and this guy has had more more than enough talk about. Lets move on.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
