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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
