He played in NE, now there's a dictatorship.

Quote

 

 Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Kyle Love laughed when told former teammate Josh Norman recently referred to the organization as a “dictatorship.’’

He says Carolina is anything but that.

 

Quote

One thing I would say about Coach Ron is he’s a players’ coach, and he’s played on this level, and it’s always great to play for a coach that’s played on this level,’’ Love said of Rivera, a former linebacker with the Chicago Bears. “Not to take anything from Bill. He’s a great coach. But somebody who understands the players -- what they’re going through when guys [are] banged up -- [Rivera] understands because he was on this level. That’s probably the best thing. He knows how to take care of his guys. He likes guys to have fun and be themselves.

i know you feel much like I do when I think of josh, I immediately go back to the draft party.  He was so cool and down to earth his comments and actions don't reflect that same person we hung out with that night.

really strange.

Part of his problem is that to some extent, he was rejected by the Panthers. While it wasn't a foregone conclusion that it would end up like that, it did. Rejection always hurts, even when it's not personal. So even now he's trying (pushed by the media to some degree I'm sure) to make Gman the bad guy. I'm also sure he's the guy Josh is pointing at when he uses the dictatorship term.

In some ways it was personal. It was the way he chose to handle the negotiations that seemed to annoy the front office.  They said his agent was an extension of him. Meaning if interactions had gone differently he might still be here. 

I think that bothers him so he tries to rationalize. I'm sure it sucks playing for the Skins.

No doubt. My "not personal" comment was a general one, as in hurts even when it's not personal. Norman could have made more of an effort to give a little, if he truly wanted to stick with the team. There are teams that will pay ridiculous money if that's your #1 goal, but you can't negotiate the Panthers into being one of 'em as long as Gman is the GM. So yeah, Josh made it personal. Hard to make us the bad guy though, when other players want to play here and are willing to take less $, ala CJ.

Nice to get a perspective from someone who was under Belichick's regime. He obviously appreciates Rivera's coaching style more.

I have been a proponent of the Carolina Culture (a term coined by yours truly) and how it has some similarities to the Patriot Way, particularly on the business side of the game, but it's kind of nice to know that the Carolina Culture is a more positive experience from a player's perspective. This leads me to believe that at least from that aspect, Charlotte has the advantage of being the place to be.

Now if we can just get some hardware.

It's like when you break up with someone, but then realize it was a bad mistake.  You want to make amends, but your pride keeps getting in the way.

You can never be like "I wish it could have ended differently..." because people would give say that you're spineless.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
