Another Day, Another WFNZ Debacle

It is like Charlotte is allergic to having solid, respectable media members. Today that clown, Tony the Hitman whatever his last name is, moved Kroeger out of the 2-6 spot and replaced him with Bailey and Garcia. Everyone knows in sports tak radio, the 1-6 or 2-6 time slot is the coveted slot.

How Frank Garcia somehow weasled his way into that spot is unfathomable. Frank Garcia wouldn't be allowed on the 12-4AM shift here in NY, let alone the afternoon drive. But franks incompetence can be left for another day.

What this means is that Chris Kroeger will probably be leaving WFNZ. I am not saying I know this for a fact, but this is a clear demotion. It truly is a shame because you can tell how passionate he was about this city and it's teams. He also was very well spoken and was a pleasure to listen to.

Well done Tony and the suits over at Entercom. You continue to show us everyday how truly incompetent you all are.

Anything that makes Frank Garcia easier to ignore is fine with me. Sometimes I would forget to turn my radio off after Mac Attack ends and I don't know how ratings in radio work but the thought that I might be helping that show stay on the air really upset me. Now at least I can turn it off and leave it off for the rest of the day.

Peopl actually still listen to the radio? Do they do it while reading the daily newspaper?

It's handy while you're driving, or if you need some background noise and there's nothing good on TV.

And I like Kroeger. Don't always agree with him, but he's the best they've had in that slot for a while.

I hate this switch. Garcia is a blowhard who is so full of himself and likes creating fake drama by asking ridiculous questions such as " is Cam Newton just a running back". He's an old school guy in a new school market. No one that's not 40+ wants to listen to his drivel on the way home from work.

Garcia's show has been through a couple of different versions. The latest iteration seems to be based on a pretty common sports radio tactic, i.e. pairing a meatheaded jock with an intelligent sports journalist type.

Basically, it's FNZ's Golic and Greenberg.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
