‘We need more Panthers players to step up.’


Gazi

Recommended Posts

Why should Panther players (human beings) be any different from anyone else?  This is a problem that we should all address.  When an authority figure, who we are supposed to respect, goes off the ranch, everyone, not just sports stars, should be upset.

To any and all of our players who might be lurking we say GET LOUD. We’ve always had your back on this. 

What does "GET LOUD" imply?

How does it manifest itself in day-to-day behaviour?

When it's all said and done, we'll come out of this with a better country.

Can we be better people, though, and see that it doesn't all go for naught?

Most people just don’t care.  They are busy living their “American Dream”.  But who needs to care are the cops.  This country has been moving in the right direction over the last decade but it seems the cops did not get the memo.

Seeing is believing and phone cameras have helped and hindered, but in these cases, there is no walking away from the shock of seeing someone who has authority over you blatantly violate the law he is there to uphold.  How to best crack the egg and fix these things will not be an easy fix with the bureaucracies that exist.  The country is overall a good place, but has not taken seriously the things it should have.  You cannot have a civil society with law enforcers being law breakers.  Just as all cops are not horrible, so goes with the rioters.  You cannot broad brush either group or you end up nowhere.  The hard part is the weeding out of individuals, or even entire staffs of law enforcement if they have been complicit.  It will be a long process.

The minority community has the ears of the country at this point, what will they do with it?  I hope something good.  This might even be a harder nut to crack.  Once you have the attention of those who need to hear you, stepping up with being part of the process of fixing these issues is next on the agenda.  Not sure I trust any DC politician to help the process at all.  They live from one election to the other making promises, only to keep power and not much changes.

I really feel that local level solutions might end up being better than DC solutions.  But again, I am not law enforcement, I am not African American and I despise politicians.  Injustice however, is not to be tolerated.

    • Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.               
    • I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is. 
    • His wife makes great meatballs though. To be fair, he didn't hire himself here. He dazzled and bamboozled them with what they wanted to hear. He was going to be an innovative, program-builder, culture-installing football genius. They ate it up like those fabulous meatballs.
