Lol bringing up Cam Newton. Cam is the star on the team. He’s not getting cut. 

Cam is growing his hair out as a rebellion...

I don't envy the spot he's in, though.

The football side of the Panthers and the business side of the Panthers are in separate areas of the building. Truth be told, Newton was probably never in a position to see any of the garbage that Richardson was pulling. As far as he would know, the real Jerry Richardson was no different than his public Image.

And then the story comes out...

Have you ever been in the position of defending someone that as far as you know is innocent, but having this little nagging voice in the back of your mind telling you that maybe they're not?

I have, and it sucks.

For my part, I honestly wish he would have given a 'no comment' to all those questions rather than saying anything.

Or giving everything we’ve learned recently sounds like you’re still reaching to stand up for an indecent man. 

Give me a break. Not believing one guy doesn’t mean I’m standing up for another. I’ve never once defended JR on here or anywhere else  

Marcus Ball is a career bottom of the roster guy. He’s been cut seven times in three years by four teams. What’s most likely? The owner cut him for putting his hand in the air or he was the roster churn guy when they needed to make a move?

sorry but that's being too rational. everything's racially and emotionally motivated these days.

really can't fathom why we're having a debate over a guy who's clearly been a practice squad talent at best all his NFL life.

It could be both. He could be a roster churn guy that was expendable in part at least due to non football actions or beliefs.

I don’t believe the two to be mutually exclusive.

i can agree with this.

i just doubt the whole reason was solely based on racism. could racism have played a part? probably.

but that's not the main reason a bottom roster churner got cut.

I read the article and think it’s some sour grapes from a marginal player.  I do agree with Ball that it’s pretty shitty that Richardson has players and coaches taking up for him and he want say a thing.  Stinks a little of cowardice on Richardson’s part.

Anything is possible. I just believe one is more probable. 

Ball bringing up the dreads and tattoos seems like a huge reach, too. We’ve had players with dreads and tattoos for years and years. Robert Lester had almost no talent and stuck for a couple seasons. I could start a list of dread/tattoo guys, but it would take way too long.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
