Former Panther S Deon Grant on Jake: He's the "biggest disappointment" in the NFL

Why do people keep saying he's dumb or isn't bright? Does he have a problem with speaking that I don't remember? Did he do poorly on his Wonderlic back in the day?

Not unlike a lot of players he didn't finish college at Tennessee and wasn't a good student. Doesn't mean he is stupid though but it doesn't mean he is bright either. The average for safeties in general on the wonderlic is 19 which is equivalent to a 97 IQ. Not stellar but not that bad either. They just started them in 2000. I couldn't find his. Still it doesn't really matter does it? Even smart people say things that may or may not be accurate or unbiased.

I'll never forget Deon going for the interception instead of just batting the ball down in Dallas that one time. Instead, ball deflects off his hands into the Cowboys wide receiver's for an 80-yard touchdown. Panthers, up 13-0 with like five minutes to go and Dallas facing a 4th-and-20 and that knucklehead lets them off the hook. Dallas 14, Carolina 13.

That may be the biggest stomach punch game in Panthers history.

That would have been old ass Joey Galloway who he tipped that ball to. I was just about to write that my only memory of Grant was setting up the eventual loss in Dallas that year. Fug him.

      Should've been: Duren and Moose: 2 each (Duren for starting it, Moose for going crazy after lol) Bridges: 3 (1 for defending Moose, 2 for escalating further with Stew) Stewart: 10 (fug that dude, came off the bench, long history already, NBA should've sent a message with double digit games)   Oh well, I think we can weather the storm for 4 games. A win tonight would be huge as the next couple after are tough, vs Houston and Cleveland. Last game against the Wizards should be a win even short handed. Then back to full strength and keep the train rolling. Still thinking we get a 7 or 8 seed and win 1 of a potential 2 in the play-ins to make the real playoffs. 6 seed and skipping the play-in entirely is a tough ask. But I do think we are better than Magic, Heat, Hawks and can pass 2 of them before the end of the regular season.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hmmm... Well, one of them consistently got dumb penalties that you never see any other receiver commit like offensive offsides on 4th down. One of them consistently would just run routes out of bounds for no reason. XL's only saving grace is that he has been a solid blocker at WR for us There is a reason XL often didn't get the ball thrown to him - he made some of the dumbest mistakes I have ever seen from a receiver... Even receivers that have zilcho talent (Mingo, Terrace Marshall, and all of our other WR draft busts) didn't make mistakes this dumb. It is bad enough when you aren't helping your team because you can't get open; it is much worse when you are so bad and dumb that you are actively hurting your team. I honestly don't think there is any fixing XL. The dude is just an idiot and lacks any kind of awareness and common sense on and off the football field
