A Touch of Conveniently Timed Class from Rick Bonnell

Seems a bit petty and unnecessary...

Why share this?  I mean, i get that PJ isn't some upstanding citizen, and obviously, that starts somewhere, but this just seemed unprofessional on Rick's behalf.  And why not share it before PJ is traded?  You don't think he will ever be in NC again?  Lol.  You don't think his family still lives here?  Several tweeters started going at Bonnell for this and his retorts were childish and laughable ("well my journalist friends said i'm right, so nah nah nah boo boo" and "you guys always want me to share stories, then i do and you get mad at me.")  He just doesn't get it.  

Also, while reading up on stuff about the trade, i visited The Observer's Hornets page for the first time in at least over a year, and man, does Bonnell even work anymore?  There's hardly any coverage...  such a disappointment.  You hardly cover our team, you hardly write anything about them even if you do, and you have been on record numerous times basically saying you hate your job, but find time to quickly get this little anecdote out right after the subject has been traded out of town.  Good job, big man.

Also, i have to take this time to say, MAN, i was wrong about PJ.  I thought he had his hiccups, but also all the makings of a go-to scorer.  In all honesty, i'm convinced he was not putting in the work, and i think his production and personality point to that.  He wasn't even shooting like he did in the d-league, and i mean wide open threes.  To me, he always seemed a bit chunky and like he didn't have his legs here, which is obviously due to a lack of conditioning.  Maybe getting away from home is what he needs, but what a disappointment.  On the brightside, he was low-risk, low-cost experiment that didn't pan out.  And after seeing his lack of improvement and horrible shooting (which is inexcuseable for him) over the last two years, i'm glad the experiment is over.

Obviously it bothered him and he's been waiting to report this until PJ was gone. It's passive aggressive, but honestly it doesn't surprise me 

What's really sad is the fact that he considered her "intimidating him"- like common dude this is a tale as old as time- people are defensive about their kids- it's in our genetic code, no reason to try and slander her

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
