Charles Johnson is cementing his exile from the Panthers...

What's the deal with CJ as of late?  I'm not asking about his playing, because we all know it's been really terrible since he got back from IR (and that honestly could be its own thread). I am talking about what he is doing off the field.

Case in Point. At 8pm Sunday night some fan sent him a personal message on Facebook following the Falcons win. It was a brutally honest message from some fan that may have crossed the line.  What does CJ do? He publicly blasts the guy all over Facebook and tells all of his followers to share and harass this guy.  That post has since been deleted.

Im going to go out on a limb and guess all NFL players get tons of private messages on social media.  Some are probably hate messages. And I would bet they don't even respond to 5% of the messages they receive. 

The fact of the matter is CJ is a professional athlete making millions of dollars. He should be held to a level of certain standards. 

I just think this incident is in extremely poor taste. You combine this with the other things that has happened this season (following the first Atlanta game he had words he tweeted about his displeasure of being pulled early). 

The ironic thing is if you look at the photo below, which I took from his FB page, it's his screen shot of the conversation direct message between him and this upset fan. If you look at this fans first message to CJ in 2013, it was in regards to buying CJs jersey, which most athletes feel is the highest way a fan can honor them.

I mean, fan is correct and saying what we all want to say.  CJ WAS the one whining about playing time, so he's opened that can of worms up.  I doubt he'd get so much flack if he was producing.   CJ is easily knocked off his rocker.  I think he's blocked me on twitter before about way less things that what that guy said.

I'd guess he'd have more defenders had he not bitched about being sat in the 4th a few weeks back.  You know why I can bitch about Charles Johnson and his retarded assed tweet a few weeks back?  at 20 mil a year, he gets paid 1.25 million per game, break it into quarters and he gets paid 312,500$ per quarter...so let me get this straight, he just got paid as much as I'll make in the next 7 years of my life to sit on a fuging Bench...and he's fuging complaining?  Sorry if I don't feel much sympathy for him being bullied by the "meanies" on facebook.  Want us to shut up about your dumbassery CJ?  Don't take up a roster spot of someone who will actually perform.

Sending athletes and entertainers messages to voice your opinion about them is so lame. I'm on Charles' side on this one.

It is, and it's dumb, but why the fug should he give 2 flying shits about what anyone says?  If only he could dry his eyes with his hundred dollar bills in his gold plated bed.

I'm sure he is upset about not playing well and the team losing. I don't think it's a mystery why it would piss him off.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
