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"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
