Well, you can tire of anybody after a while.

No disrespect to Kevin, but Delhomme would definitely be more fun than Donnalley.

Either way, I expect a whole lot of people are gonna get pissed in this thread because they fired a Panthers radio guy and it wasn't Mixon.

(I actually like Mixon too, he gets a bad rap)

Wonder if this means anything for Jim Szoke.

Not to argue your taste but have you had to listen to Mixon on the radio or XM ? Very difficult for me..

has nothing to do with the creepy sexy-time references ... I actually enjoy that but he’s just not fast enough in today’s NFL. That’s my only real issue with him .

if you’re into a game and biting your fingernails it feels like an eternity to here what’s happening or who is doing what. Just not real time like other really good radio guys. He’s ok if you’re watching it but he’s lost (or never had) the feel if you need a picture over the radio . 

Lets keep moving up Tep .

Yeah, I have. I thought he was okay. I've heard better but I never thought he deserved all the flack he got.

I've also heard worse. Wasn't a big fan of the Bucs announcer for example. Heard him in the 2008 Panthers-Bucs highlights and always thought he spoke every word sounding like he was straining on the toilet.

My issue with Mick isn’t his voice (though it’s not the best).

He misses his mark too often during games. Too boxed in with clock and score resets, not in tune with the play at hand quite enough. Tends to zone out during the “apex” of a call, while other more-polished broadcasters capture that moment with both inflection and clarity. Mick either screams beyond his limit or unenthusiastically mutters after a Carolina score. It’s always unnatural.

It’s a tough job. He’s decent, and a swell guy. But just not my cup o’ tea. NFL radio PxP calls are a huge part of a team’s legacy. I’d prefer an upgrade at some point.

I rmember when he was hired, it was an "out of left field" thing. There were a couple of good candidates from other NFL teams, but when the news came that it was Mixon, it was a shock.

Mixon's background was in the wrong specialty (color vs play by play) with the wrong sport (basketball vs football). Yet there he was...

Never really understood why the Panthers went so far out of the box other than that Mixon was relatively well known in the region.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
