Gantt thinks you're overreacting

[jpniner]

Gantts career could take a back seat if Fox/Hurney leave town, he's obviously got an inside scoop with someone in the clique, something he may lose if they leave town.

If John Fox was a species of animal it wouldn't take long for that animal to become extinct because it wouldn't have the ability to adapt to the changing environment.

Darin Gantt doesn't have a right to an opinion. Especially when it clashes with the irrationality of wanting to quit on an entire season. Right? You're done with the year. Why should he have anything to say about it?

[Mr. Scot]

In fairness, Gantt may be right.

I don't think so, but let's acknowledge it is at least possible,

[OneBadassCat]

There are alot of problems but I do think part of the reason we have been losing is just that things aren't going our way when we need them to.

Like Mooses TD for example. Any other game that would have been a TD. We are a team that plays game's very close (unfortunately) and the room for error is very small for us. So a play here, a call there can easily make the difference between winning and losing for this team.

Gantt can have an opinion - he has a right to that just like anybody else but my problem is - he thinks his opinion is superior. At least it comes across that way to me. I don't need anybody to tell me about the dinner i just ate, the movie I just attended, or about the team I just saw take the field. I can form those opinions on my own. Gantt, like most journalist, think I somehow need his input to figure out that the Panthers sucked the first 3 games....But according to Darin, I shouldn't blame Fox because some other coach that I could care less about is also struggling. This make a makes a difference to me how? You're right it doesn't....so Gantt should stick to reporting the news instead of pushing his personal agenda through the newspaper blog.

I was about to post something similar. I see the Panthers take the field every week. I read about how terrible we rank among other teams. I already feel sick about how much our team sucks. I don't need some journalist telling me Im ignoring the "facts", overreacting, or my opinion is inferior to his nut coddling of an opinion for the Panthers. More reporting, less opinion. I don't need to know what he thinks.

Also, I don't understand the mindset of a journalist who thinks he can act like his word is superior to other fans when his job depends on those fans he's demeaning to read his articles.

That's not his problem, though. Him stating his opinion is his right, and really has nothing to do with your opinion of sportswriters.

And while sportswriters don't have to be logical, he's being logical. Coaches, owners have to be logical. They don't make moves based on wanting retribution or wanting to make up for hurt feelings. Fans have the ability to say retarded things like "I hope Jake gets hurt" or "fire them all now" or "cut so and so". Fans have the ability to say things like "I want to trade Peppers for Quinn" or "we'll get a 3rd round pick by trading away Rosario and then we can draft The Golden Calf of Bristol." So feel happy you have that ability. If you don't want to hear what sportswriters have to say, don't read them. If you don't want to hear what anyone else thinks, log off.

Amen Brother! People like Gantt think we're just ignorant peasants working in a field. We have no concept of figuring out ourselves if the product we see on Sunday is actually worth a damn. He totally lost me with his "lunatic fringe" comment a while back.

That is his job in writing his column. He is supposed to interject his opinion. The article you are reading is not one to report the facts....it is more of his editorial column.

Agree with him or not, that is everyone's right. But, to blast the guy for doing his job...not so much.

[ClawOn]

I actually agree with him in that Fisher and Cowher and Fox and Coughlin are all the same type of coach. The dilimea is do you stick with Fox and have a Fisher type situation (still trying to get back to a Super Bowl) or fire him and see him end up winning a championship with another team like Coughlin did.

I personally think Fox is still a great coach and could be the next Couglin but that is a risk that needs to be taken. Sometimes a change just needs to happen.

Never seen Cowher or Coughlin or Fisher clap and slap butts after we lay an egg on a play or series.

If he can state his opinion without demeaning the team's own fans, I'd have no problem with it, but that's not what he does. He has the inability to state his opinion without belittling the fans.
