I like Wright, he has kept trying and has definitely been a solid possession guy. I think he’s one of the players that could stick around under a new staff and FO. 

He sorta reminds me of Proehl in the way he always seems to get open on 3rd down. He’s not a huge factor most of the game but he seems to show up whenever you need him

He aint wrong.  I like his comments, I like Greg's comments, I like Donte's comments.  I see a trend of players not happy with the situation they were put in by Stoic Ron and Sharty.

Calling out the refs registers in your mind as him not being happy about the FO?

Why don't you share them?

I might, but probably not this evening.

They're in The Athletic, Rodrigue's latest article, to be specific (Link)

Edit: Aaahh, what the hell. Here's the rest.

“I definitely saw something different, and I definitely felt like I caught the ball,” said Wright. “If you go back and look at the play, he clearly rolls over on top of me and rips the ball out. From what I understood, the tie goes to the receiver — as in baseball (when) the tie goes to the runner.”

Wright is frustrated with the inconsistency in officiating that the Panthers have faced all season — not just for catches or non-catches, but also even for moments like earlier this season, when defensive tackle Gerald McCoy sacked Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in pure textbook fashion and was still flagged for a game-changing roughing call. NFL officials had just been in Panthers camp over the summer, teaching the exact form for which they flagged McCoy.

“Man, I’m not going to lie, these refs have been fuging up all year,” Wright said. “You know, they want to fine us. They want to do this and that to us. But somebody has to hold these refs accountable. We played an NFL game and they had one penalty that was (offset) by one of our penalties. This is the highest level. You’re telling me they didn’t commit not one penalty out there?

“(The losses) aren’t all the calls. But when it’s been going on game after game after game — and it just seems like it happens to us! It never seems like it happens to another team. That’s kind of the thing.”

Wright is a hugely positive presence in the locker room and a leader in his position group.

But even he conceded that as these little things have stacked up week after week, his patience has worn out.

“All I want to know is, what the fug is a catch? What’s not a catch? We don’t even know that,” he said. “It’s frustrating. There’s no (consistency). One week it’s a catch, one week it’s not. We’re playing in the fugin’ … It’s supposed to be the best league in the world. American football. But we don’t know what’s a catch and what’s not a catch!”

Wright said that kind of inconsistency in the officiating of the game wrecks guys’ rhythm.

“Because you don’t know, you’re just kind of out there playing like, ‘Hey, this might be a catch. Or this might not be a catch … the ball hit the ground, didn’t move, but it’s still not a catch this week. Somebody else on the other team did it and it’s a catch now!’”
