The way this played out with Donte, especially what happened as of late, reminds me a lot of what happened with Whitehead last season.

They talked him up, named him a captain, he ends up getting picked on in games, suddenly has a mystery injury pop up and gets demoted/benched, or in this case, IR'd.

The painful truth is that the team has an absolutely stacked CB room and in order for DJack to stay here he's going to have to do it on a team friendly deal.

He was on the upswing, a willing tackler in space that was making plays on the ball. He had a rough outing though the last couple of weeks, getting burnt and showing immaturity despite being one of the older guys in the locker room. That will hopefully allow the team some negotiating room.

They also get to see just how good that depth is. Would it be better to bring back Gilmore instead to play across from Horn with Bouye in the slot while backed up by Henderson, Taylor, and Hartsfield? Can STO3 make a play on a role on the team next year? It'll be an interesting 5 game run to close out, as that last wildcard spot is wide open still.

Agreed, until the last 2 weeks.  And when it went sour, it went sour quick.

Regarding Jackson's problems over the past few weeks, Joe Person quotes Matt Rhule as saying bad things happened because the team's safeties "left Jackson out to dry".

While i'm sure its possible, I trust zero things Matt Rhule says at this point...  and Donte is a guy he talked up and vouched for going into this season.  Donte played well early, but safety help or not, he looked bad the last two weeks in every type of scenario imaginable, and you could tell by some of the plays that safeties had nothing to do with it...  like one on one coverage in zero blitzes.  He just got exposed, and then despite being a captain, acted very immature while dealing with those struggles.

agreed. injury prone speedster had a good year in his contract year. let him walk.

I am also not sure how EVERY fan on this frickin board could clearly see he needed to be traded before the deadline but these "professionals" making millions to decide these things just let him stay and let what has happened happen.

      Is J-Stew a team propagandist?

      He has said many times hes a diehard Panther fan. Being a former player he is going to be very pro player. I don't think its a conspiracy but just someone close to the individuals.

      OK, let me first say that I can't get any Twitter link to embed--using "X" or "Twitter" or whatever, and I'm tired of trying. Now, I must say that I see Panthers stuff in Facebook on occasion as I'm part of some group, but I see Panthers stuff even less on the cesspool that is now X, but as a follower of the official Panthers Twitter, stuff pops up on that feed too. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised that agents of the organization would be putting out tweets like this: He's not even trying to be objective. It stands to make sense though. In order to get better information, you have to go to national sources like Kurt Warner.  I'm not necessarily trying to pick on J-Stew, per se, but I can't take him seriously, as even some past Panthers players, like Greg Olsen for example, don't seem like they're just trying to cater to Panthers Nation, just saying hollow words to make everyone feel good.  I just wonder why here on the Carolina Huddle, there seems to be more objectivity, or at least more critical thinking and serious discussion than most other social media sources on the Panthers. It's interesting. There is a significant difference.  For all the changes and the seeming decline in popularity to whatever degree, the Carolina Huddle still has its place and plays a big part in overall Panthers fandom. We want to be happy, joyous and cheer for the Panthers, but we aren't necessarily trying to shoot sunshine up people's derrières either.
