Or are we about to go on a run?

After hearing Cam on his thoughts about Mr Richardson

Then seeing this in the article on ESPN.com

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21839807/nfl-first-choice-carolina-panthers-remain-charlotte

 

"Kuechly said the Panthers, who lost Super Bowls after the 2003 and 2015 seasons, want to send Richardson out with a Super Bowl victory."

 

"That would be the best way to send him off,'' Kuechly said. "Everybody wants to win the Super Bowl. It would be very meaningful for him.''

Tight end Greg Olsen said the meeting with Richardson was emotional.

"You felt for him,'' he said. "To see a guy who's worked his whole life to bring this organization to Charlotte and have him sit there and tell you and see it on his face how heartbreaking that is that he's going to give that franchise up to somebody else ... it's hard to see people in those positions. It's human nature. You don't want to see people struggle.''

Whole thing feels weird

 

its not like he has a terminal illness or something. The dude is being forved to sell the team due to sexual and racial allegations. 

 

Either the pc climate is way too damn hostile and rediculous or the players dont take the allegations seriously. Its strange.

I feel like you can still like a person and care for a person without condoning their actions. These players clearly love and respect Big Cat but that doesn't mean they don't take the allegations seriously. People are very complex and for some reason we always like to put them in black and white boxes

You're right, it is strange. It's not like the other outings going on in the media at this time, there isn't an avalanche of "me toos" coming out about him from other employees or team members. As a group, they seem to be standing shoulder to shoulder in support of JR. And these are college educated, wealthy, socially aware people, not just a bunch of mindless neanderthal jocks.

He is not being forced to do anything. By the NFL or anyone but himself. He's choosing to sell.

Forced? He decided to do that himself.

I'm not gonna speculate on the players' feelings about JR, but I certainly agree that most people are shades of gray. The man screwed up but I can see him also inspiring loyalty from the players and coaches.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
