Accidentally hit enter before I wrote the rest of the post. Oh well. Not much to say about a shitty opinion from a talking head desperate to stay relevant.

"Reverse discrimination?" Haha! Oh boy.

On a serious note, it is mainly because he plays for us. Kyle Brandt even admitted that no one is going to pay attention to the Panthers after last night so everyone should watch CMC while he was nationally televised. He is regarded as one of the best RBs in the league, if not the best. It's not like he isn't getting respect. His face would be everywhere if he were drafted by Dallas.

It's Stephen A. Smith & Fox News- what programming genius thought this much bullsh!t in one space would work?

haven’t really ever seen evidence of that. These shows just say anything to make you click the article. 

If anything his status in the league is amplified by his fantasy value. Everybody knows how good he is. 

I feel like tons of players are spoken about when their race contrasts to their positional trend. Black Punters/Kickers, black QBs, white DBs etc. If someone is South Asian or Latino it usually comes up too. Always highlighted, never avoided.

He receives less coverage because he has been injured a bunch and has played for crappy teams in a small market. He'll get plenty of coverage if we are contending.

Oh like CNN that has horrible ratings week in and week out? Don’t bring that politics bullcrap in here. I know exactly what your insinuating.

Its more because he plays on the Panthers. Put him on Dallas or any other media darling team and they would worship him non stop

We’ve not been a good team even with CMC going 1k/1k.

He’s missed significant time, and he doesn’t have a huge library of house calls.

Bad team, gaps in playing time, volume touches guy, does his work between the 20’s.  
 

What kind of coverage does he warrant exactly?  He’s our guy so we love him and think he’s the GOAT.  No underlying social issue here, just context.

I know it's Stephen A and it's directly Panthers related but you should know better than to post a Fox News article in this forum! To the tinderbox we go

I'm not good with abbreviations. Are you asking him to get in his own booty hole with his shmeckel?
