I didn't see this posted. Please delete if a duplicate.

It seems like every talented beat reporter we get in Charlotte moves on in short order. Jourdan was the first to come to mind, but I feel like there were a couple other really good ones who moved on as well.

it's honeslty the theme for all media and marketing companies. Their goals and profit models change when the wind blows a new direction. That means your writer's capabilities need to change, as well as their goals and beliefs. So the attrition levels are high and the volatiltiy of business goals and iniatives are extremely high.

I think everyone missed the forest for the trees.  Dude is leaving to cover the TEXANS! How big of a poo show do you have to be to take a job to cover the biggest poo show in the entire NFL (okay, maybe second outside of the DC Commandos).

This is a reflection on the Observer.

It’s why the writers are trying to unionize.

It' gotta be about the money...if it's simply a lateral move. Could be about upwardly mobile opportunities as well. I would think that generally Houston would provide more opportunities for Alexander than Charlotte, but who knows? I don't think that it has anything to do with the Panthers.

Oh, I get it's a reflection on the Observer...but how bad does it get where taking a job to cover the Texans is a seen a better career choice?  Pretty bad obviously.

Houston is a much bigger market than Charlotte though.

It's the Houston Chronicle. I mean, I don't follow the Texans at all and have heard of the Houston Chronicle. I only know the Charlotte Observer because of the Panthers. This is entirely about the paper and nothing at all to do with the team. Most likely, it's about money. Not everything is a dump on the Panthers. Surely you were joking right? O.o

Probably a better salary, too.  It seems like a lateral move to cover an even bigger circus that the Panthers.  There had to be a lure.  Either better money or he was complete done working at the Observer.  If it's the later, that's pretty damning.  Again, I doubt people were lining up to be the beat reporter of the Texans.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
