How Bannergate SHOULD have been handled

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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      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 short 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.
