One of the headlines from Charlotte in the early days of the offseason program related to the size of the body of Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin. Now that Benjamin apparently is in shape, Panthers G.M. Dave Gettleman has a few things to say about the reaction to Benjamin’s bloat.

“This is what frustrates me with the media today,” Gettleman said recently, via Bill Voth of the website the Panthers own and operate. “They go to DEFCON 5 on everything. . . . Kelvin Benjamin being overweight was not a big deal. It was April 17. Can we all get a grip?”

For starters, the media doesn’t go to “DEFCON 5 on everything.” The media showcases the stories that the audience is expected to be interested in, at every given phase of the calendar. The media companies that do that the best way thrive; those that fail to write and talk about things of interest to the audience fail.

"Oh how dare we get attacked for over-sensationalizing a story that turned out to be no big deal? How dare the Panthers defend Kelvin Benjamin and attack us for talking about him negatively."

So nowadays you can't criticize the press. What has the world come to.

No seriously. The media can fug off fir real. Dont act like they are just being good journalists. Thats a bunch of bullsshit. Sometimes yes

 

but today its all about clicks and money. If they can twist a story around they fugging will. They want the reactionary click bait title to get clicks. 

 

Weve even seen it on this site and many of us eventually said thsts enough

 

this isnt every case and most outlets produce at least some quality content but i am 100% on board with gettleman and the parts of the media more concerned with clicks than actually producing legitimate truthful content can go fug themselves

 

its like looters. That story breaks and every dumbass had to go in and abuse the story to get personal gain. 

 

Sure, kelvin derserves criticism, but the panic and frenzy that ensued was pathetic and fugin retarded.

Things wouldnt need to get to DEFCON 5 levels if Benjamin would be a professional about his job and stay in shape. Then Gman doesnt have to cover for him and Voth doesnt have to talk poo. It seems silly to blame the press for a situation that was self created.

Florio and most of the folks at PFT are entitled losers who sensationalize their articles to make money. I miss the days of reporters actually reporting the facts of situations. Unfortunately, real journalism is a dying breed across the board, not just sports journalism.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
