Do you despise Roger Goodell?

A lot of fan bases hate Roger Goodell. A lot of players hate Roger Gooddell. Some have valid reasons, some don't. 

Has his "wrath" ever really effected the Panthers or any of its players?  Do you think he is good for the sport?

The only situation I can think of where he had influence was with Greg Hardy, but Hardy is an asshat.

I have no problem with him at all. People tend to forget what the league was like before he took over. Pac-man Jones was making it rain in strip clubs and players were straight up acting a fool. He was hired to clean up their off field behavior. Guys still get into trouble no doubt but its not like it used to be. Not to mention they gave him all of that power so I hate it when players complain.

but Cam was making it rain in the strip club 3 weeks ago. 

Anyway he runs the NFL with an iron fist handing out 4 game suspensions like candy. it doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason to anything but the drug policy. that said its very hard to cry for some guy making million while he complains about how he cant play because assaulted his girlfriend,

I know Saints fans hate Gordell for punishing Sean Payton and Gregg Williams unfairly.  I think I recall about seven of their fans protesting.

If you factor in the percentage of Saints fans that have internet thats a pretty good showing.

I think he screwed up spygate. I don't think he was harsh enough. You suspend Sean Payton for his defensive coordinator running an injury pool but let Bill off for getting caught cheating red handed. No consistency there. That and the Ray Rice debacle...  Now that I ponder those are pretty severe f&?! Ups.

He's a smart guy and is the PR rep for all the owners. He does his job. There have been screw ups (spygate and Ray Rice as was mentioned) but those are failures in policies from the NFL which he may oversee but, again, is a total function of the owners. I don't really have any issue with him.

I don't have a problem with him at all. He has to make major decisions that will in one way or another affect his company and 32 others. He deals with sponsors, the government at times and other enormous issues that most of us couldn't fathom. People just like to point the finger at him even if they don't understand his role.

He has made mistakes, but show me someone who doesn't and I'll show you a liar.

    • yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO  
    • Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.
    • Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
