dont give two sh*ts about anyones politics within the Panthers org.

Just make sound football decisions and win football games.

 

This. Everything has to get political these days. Just make sound football decisions to field a consistent winning team and don’t do anything to embarrass the organization (like harassing every woman in the building).

Not saying it's not true but I'm not just going to trust something from a guy that I don't even know.

What isn't true about it? Can you actually point out something he said that was false? 

 

Anyways I like it, the golden rule is just that its golden. Anyone who tries to adhere to that philosophy has my respect, because its not always easy.

Not to be that guy, but the wife he talks about applying the Golden Rule to in that interview, he later divorced.

It's a crappy article just bullet points from other articles. That was a miss print supposed to have been the golden rule not golden wife.

Thanks for posting. 

I don't know if I like his character or not. I don't have much to go on. I personally have a hard time with a dude spending $48 million on a property and tearing a house down to build one twice it's size. But hey I'm glad he's smart enough and aware enough to know our President is a narcissistic megalomaniac dumb ass. Glad he has the balls to say it too.

Exactly why I'm not going to believe some crappy SI article and then I've heard the guy could take away prayer before the game. I don't agree with that one bit. Others might say different but I don't like it.

Right on.  Was his comment to suggest that he knows the former owner?

As an atheist I'd prefer to not have to sit through it. I bought a ticket to an NFL game not church. However I'm not going to get my panties in a wade over it. I constantly have people trying to make me participate in their religious poo, so the Panther game prayer doesn't stand out all that much.

    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
    • He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be. 
    • He went through the treatment program, fwiw if anything, and my focus is on his size, decision-making (on the field, not phone), and his arm strength.  But drafting a QB with an addiction that could get him Pete Rosed is not ideal.  I am not satisfied that the Panthers have (as Canales has stated to be important) addressed the QB spot with competition since Bryce has been here. Should Bryce not continue to improve or should he become injured, are we going with Pickett?  Pickett had 45 pass attempts with the Raiders last season and was sacked 8 times.  He has an NFL career where his interceptions are equal to his TDs.  He is not good.  H. King could emerge as the backup, if that tells you anything, but if we can pick a player with NFL starting potential (Sorsby would have been rated ahead of Ty Simpson (drafted #13 overall) in 2026 and he is rated #3 overall in the strong 2027 QB draft class, behind Manning and Moore--again, this would give Sorsby a first-round grade.  If I am Morgan, and I do not feel 100% confident that Bryce is the future, I might offer a second rounder for Sorsby.  I think he might go before that, frankly.   Some will say I am crazy, but to get a QB with Sorsby's talent in the 2027 draft, we may need to move up in round 1.  If Bryce steps up, you have a solid backup.  Regardless, I would sleep better.
