I Don't Know Why I Continue To Read The Charlotte Observer

Sometimes I really think they have no idea what they are writing about.

on KK

"And the Panthers? They aren’t ripping Short for suddenly deciding to skip OTAs. But they are also taking pains to note he is already under contract"

"Houston is the site of the 51st Super Bowl on Feb. 5, 2017. The Panthers earned a spot in the most recent Super Bowl, but they will find it very tough to get there again if they are without their best defensive lineman"

 

huh?  KK has made peanuts past few seasons.  Unless they are saying he just banked all his money and has more than enough to sit out a season which I would highly doubt.  I see no way he holds out and forfeits the $1.4 million including signing bonus hes set to make this season.

I vowed to myself to never read them again last year. Their football coverage has always been horrendous, than you add all the "letters to the editor" they published last year to the equation and that was the final straw for me. The one they published last year about the lady complaing about Cam having a baby out of wedlock was boredline racist, sexist, etc. They sold their souls for a few clicks of a website.

I visit my mother and father about twice a week.  They still get the O and I will thumb through it if I have time.  Fish wrapper comes to mind.

He didn't make peanuts. He made what 2nd round picks made. He now deserves more.

I didn't see any problem in what they wrote.   Ron is the one who mentioned KK being "under contract" in his post-practice presser.   I don't think they were hinting KK would sit out the season, just reiterating his importance to the team.  I suppose too there always is the very very slim chance G'man would entertain trade offers if he can't come to an agreement with KK.  I'm pretty confident a deal gets done, but never say never...  Strange things can and do happen in this football business.

A couple of the Observer guys are alright but if I had one wish as it pertains to Panthers coverage it would be to replace David Newton (ESPN). He is so corny, tries too hard to sound cool, tries his best to manufacture controversies out of nothing for clicks, and there are times you'd think he was a Bucs fan. And I'm tired of his incessant need to post "ICYMI" tweets on every single paragraph he writes. Of course we missed it! We don't read your crap! We are not acknowledging your ridiculous click-bait articles.

Person and JJ do good work.

Judging by tweets, I get the impression that the sports editor of the CO doesn't actually like football, or doesn't like sports in general. Maybe he has something against Richardson, there's no telling but on more than several occasions his tweets make it seem like he has a disdain for the Panthers.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
