This thread just piles on. Noone gives a damn what DW is saying now. Cam shut that poo down and was like swatting away a fly. Why cant you do the same? 

 

Why are you replying to threads you don't care about.

See DW and KB both complain about the grieving process is beyond me. 

I posted on this in the past, so it isn’t anything new. I’m 30 years old, lost my mom at 26 unexpectedly. I didn’t have the money or career that I have now then to bury her the way I wanted, or have the funeral that I think she deserved. I was 26 and had to pay for everything myself. 

For both of them to “expect” anything from the team or organization when they passed is dumb. I understand they wanted support and probably needed it. But you don’t expect people to help. I didn’t expect my work to show up and support, or really do anything. Is it the right thing to do? Sure. But it speaks more to your character than the situation. If you are the type of person where people won’t support you (DWill), then that’s on you. You are the one that caused that situation on yourself. It’s time for them to look back and reflect on that and what they did to make the team and organization not be there for them. For them to blame any of this on that situation is childish, and speaks for the volume of their character.

I'm going to try to be objective. When someone's mother dies that is important to you, you should probably try and make it to the funeral/memorial service if at all possible because at many times they are looking for someone---anyone to blame. This is probably even more so when their mother dies young and/or unexpectedly. So don't provide more fuel to the fire by not giving your best. Funerals and such are more for the living than the dead (if you get what I'm saying). It will leave scars if it's perceived that you are being cavalier about the situation.  

Basically, just do your best.

But was DeAngelo important to anyone on the team? Seems few liked him, they were just coworkers.

Yeah most people who lose a loved one get to take a week or, if they are lucky, two off to grieve and then they are expected to be back at work doing their job. Kelvin and Deangelo live in a make believe world that revolves around them it appears.

D Will, I'm not going to touch the passing of his mom, that's sacred and deserves all the respect and then some. I believe that KB was traded in part bc of his work ethic, his game approach/play and his weight. To me, he never played to his size. I believe that D Will wasn't resigned because of his contract, either him or J Stew had to be released.

      Baldy believes defense is the key. For me? Even more specific than that, the true key...

      By TD alt · Posted

      Brian Baldinger on NFL Network (per Tim Weaver on Panthers Wire): "I feel like they're building a monster on that side of the ball right now and I think that's how they have to play," Baldinger stated. "They have to play like they can shut teams down this year. I think it's on them to really guide this team right now." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/05/22/panthers-nfl-offseason-defense-brian-baldinger/90215555007/   So, do you believe him? Today, May 25, I do believe Baldy without any evidence otherwise. I think it's much more likely for our defense to take another marked leap (right into the top 10) than our, basically, bottom-third offense. In my mind, Lee Hunter is a literal and figurative huge addition up front, and right behind him is perhaps our biggest exclamation point on defense: Devin Lloyd. Lloyd's experience and track record of solid production should be the anchor of our defense that should help lift the floor of the entire unit. No more getting gashed on runs, eh? But, as important as Lloyd will be, the most prolific addition to the defense could be Jaelen Phillips.  In my opinion, whether or not the Panthers can demonstrably show that the defensive squad, and perhaps the team in general, is actually ready to assert itself as a perennial postseason presence lies within its ability to credibly rush passers. Phillips was paid handsomely to produce results. Now I know that most of you are probably thinking that sacks are the key. Moreover, I'm not one that is even going to tell you that his pressures are the key (you know, since Phillips's pressure rate has been highlighted over perhaps pedestrian sack numbers). The key, at least in my mind, will be the marked growth of Nic Scourton and/or Princely Umanmielen. I really do believe that they are the understated X factors that the "success" of our season may depend upon.  I'm not worried about the interior (perhaps over-optimistically so). I'm also not too concerned with our corners, as they are quietly one of the best duos in the league. Sure, the safety position has more question marks, Trevon Moering is an exclamation point, and Nick Scott, though less of an exclamation point, still has plenty of experience. With the infusion of youth, size, length and energy, I can see a good mix that will result in positives from the DBs once Ejiro Evero figures everything out. And, we should all know, a credible pass rush provides the defensive backfield with opportunities to shine, and this is but another reason why I believe that Scourton and maybe Umanmielen will be key to taking up residence in the postseason. On an off note, and as a reminder, if the defense is doing its job effectively maintaining momentum with field position, if not outright laying down the pathway with short fields and such, this should make it easier for Bryce Young and the offense to effect points on the board in terms of TDs. Where the defense goes, the offense will have every opportunity to follow.

      Canes need to get one of these two away games. Would prefer both but get 1. Go back to Raleigh 2-2. Win that one. Then you only need one of the next two.     I saw a different level of focus I’ve never seen from the canes in ECF since 06.  Also, Montreal has been bad at home in the playoffs. Get on them early, win the game.
