I read it seven times and couldn’t figure out why everyone was so angry.

Well people are very upset and the nature of Haskins passing certainly is a factor in the response seen. It was not necessary and he saw fit to remove it so that should confirm for anyone confused.

The middle part isn't really relevant and adds nothing to the statement about the person's death. If you truly did know and love the person schefter is talking about, it's pretty distasteful to talk about their recent failures when they just died, especially if said failures aren't related to their death at all.

I honestly just thought he was pointing out how this guy was known in order to jog memories for those who may not recall or know who he was.

I didn’t think there was a a reason to blow up over it, but intent/purpose is more important to me than getting flustered at literally everything.

There are so many things to be angry and take offense to if you really want to look hard enough. I’m convinced it’s some people’s life mission.

He probably should've just left it as "former OSU standout and 1st round pick of the Commanders" but I'm not understanding the outrage. Schefter is an NFL reporter. He's not writing a eulogy.

I’m outraged. That’s all he was? A standout and first pick? That’s demeaning who he is as a person. There is so much more to him than being and athlete. What about those things? Are we just going to ignore them especially announcing his death? That didn’t define him that was just what he did. This is embarrassing and insulting. And how he died? I mean really what does that have to do with anything? I suppose your first stop is getting gas wherever you go.  Why didn’t this announcement come from family? Anyone feel odd it’s his AGENT? Is it his place to announce this? Especially considering he wasn’t just an athletes and I doubt Saunders was the closest person to him. Unbelievably embarrassing. CANCEL SAUNDERS.

The headline should’ve read:

Dwayne Haskins, 24, is deceased.

Very ugly. Maybe they don't need to be putting a microphone in front of anymore 90 year old dinosaurs.

Schefter is an NFL reporter. He's reporting on a news story from an NFL perspective. Be mad if you want but you're missing the context.

100%.  It’s in very bad taste.  At least he deleted it and made a new one, but this guy has been making distasteful tweets for awhile now.  This the same guy who posted JPP’s busted hand x-rays and his medical condition while he was still in serious recovery.  
 

RIP Dwayne.  You never know if the day you wake up to is the last one you’ll ever have.  I hope they were able to at least find the person who hit him.

      LT Ikem Ekwonu wants to remain in Carolina long term but has no timeline for an extension

      Curious what his price is, but definitely think we need to resign him. Hard to find a quality tackle - he's definitely improved and having a stable guard in lewis beside him has helped a ton. Still needs to work on the false start and holding penalties though

      Yeah, you want actual Panthers fans to succeed. Same with poor Will Levis a few years ago. You just wish the local ACTUAL Panthers fans(very rare in the first place), pan out.  But, alas, it is what it is. I don't know if it is as simple as having Ikey switch to RT immediately. I think the cleanest switch would have been to attempt that for him as a LG. But, we spent a fuging shitload of dough on our IOL.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Seriously? You think we might have 4 or even 5 starters the next couple years from last year’s draft? Wallace and Legette were starters because of injuries and no good depth. We’ve already resigned Thielen and drafted TMac. I’d be shocked if Legette isn’t WR4 (snap/target/production wise) behind those two and Coker. I’m not Sure if Wallace will stay a starter with Rozeboom. Smith-Wade might be the likeliest starter for now because we didn’t draft a CB. We’ll see if he sticks. Sanders may also start but the starting TE is like being the tallest midget. We’ve had about 500ish receiving yards from TEs each of the past 3 years whether it was Thomas/Tremble or Tremble/Hurst or Tremble/Sanders. Honestly, if Evans can stay healthy, the fact that he can actually block (unlike Thomas who sucked but was called a blocking TE) and catch could make him the best starter we have at TE. Also, Brooks missing two of four rookie contract seasons and caused us to draft Etienne in the 4th and sign Dowdle. Sorry man, you’re smoking some serious hopium trying to justify last year’s draft as if it was good. We are one of the worst talented teams in the NFL over the past 7 seasons and sometimes that means that we get a lot of rookie contributors but it doesn’t mean it was a good draft. Until the rookies are actually above average starters it’s like going from Thomas to Tremble to Sanders to Evans. There’s no impact to our win total until one of them actually is more than just a starter because we have to play someone. One last nugget, we won’t be a playoff team if 25% of our starters are from the 2024 draft.
