Her whole "fair warning" argument for 6 games is a bit odd when this has been going on for over a year. Also the "first offense" argument is also strange considering he repeated the behavior over and over again, just didn't get busted.

This guy was probably the lead dude with a pitchfork and torch when the mob came after Jerry Richardson though.  You know, a few NDA's and promoted 'jeans Friday'.  Hell, half this board couldn't run him out of BOA fast enough.

As someone who works in the arena, I can promise you that someone doesn’t privately pay out multi millions of dollars, hand out non disclosures like candy, and not only give up a billion dollar business they’ve worked hard for from the scratch, but have absolutely nothing to do with it, and disappear completely for something small.

Surely, you can muster up the brainpower to comprehend that.

It really is a shame his money and NDAs bought innocence and public option, including you. We will never truly know. But money and NDAs should look guilty, not innocent.

I was going to respond but it's no need. I'm black. Why would I think slavery is a misunderstanding? Because I don't have my pitchfork out wanting Watson's head? Smh 

🤣 Ok nice try. You keep defending a rapist.

You're correct, Richardson did something wrong.  To what level we will never know.  What got leaked was immoral by Jerry, but criminal.  What's laughable is what gets passed off as morality just a few years later.  However, I personally believe what he did was peanuts to what Dan Snyder, Bob Kraft and likely Jerry Jones have done.  Still NFL owners.  Richardson was old school enough that his family name means something.  The likes of Snyder is a guy could care less what stench surrounds his name as long as he gets to keep his money and his team. Compared to Watson, although a player not an owner, not even in the same freaking universe and the dude gets 6 games on a heavily back-loaded deal buffering said suspension.  So dude gets a mini vacation while keeping his job. Brutal!  He still had to pay the women---you said admission of guilt, correct?  His record setting deal barely will have a dent put in it by the time the payouts are complete.

Also a a guy that has been in management for many, many, years, I can tell you it's not unlike someone to get their feelings hurt and start throwing around terms like hostile work environment, when 99% of the time it's their fault in the first place.  Broken policy+discipline=butt hurt.  So over the years, I could see Richardson may have made an enemy or two within the organization.  Again the extent he told someone he allowed jeans Fridays because he like how women look in jeans is immoral, but not criminal.

...based on this statement alone, you should definitely not be a manager.

But your "they were asking for it" attitude goes a long way to explaining why you're a sexual assault apologist.

The NFL is in a tough spot of it's own making. The process was setup to provide the appearance that an impartial 3rd party would make rulings, then the NFL did the worst thing possible - they only submitted four cases. 

Why?

Likely a couple of reasons:

1. Timing. This needed to be completed before the season started.

2. They expected that the evidence in the four cases would be enough to result in a significant penalty. The problem is, the arbitrator chose to include precedent. Her hands were essentially tied to previous bad decision making and the amount of evidence couldn't override the precedent (in her mind).

It gets worse. If the NFL imposes a stricter punishment, lawsuits will be the result. Watson will play until the case makes it way through court. This could take a while. In the meantime, it is very likely Watson would be able to play THE ENTIRE SEASON this year. Court processes are not speedy.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By strato · Posted

      I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans.

      Least excitment before any season?

      Someone has to bare witness to what happens. It's hard to complain if you don't sit through it all.

      Panthers Blueprint

      By frankw · Posted

      I do not pretend to be infallible or without flaws. I've been wrong on things over the years. We all have. Realistically most of what's been said here and on other Panthers fans social media platforms between the months of May and September for the last several years amounts to little more than spam. People drew lines in the sand over contentious takes on Bridgewater too. To the point of being asked if some people are really a Panthers fan over it. There will be reactionary spam during the season too particularly on gamedays. I've been reading these discussions on the huddle for 20 years. It's the same stuff rehashed the only thing that changes are the names in the front office the coaching staff and the roster. Some fans might be best served to stick to the official team social feeds if they are burned out on all this. Nothing wrong with that either. Different strokes for different folks. We're all human. As for the huddle. Honestly most of us post here out of habit. It's a habit hard to break. No different than the majority of the population that can't stop scrolling Facebook or X. Basically.....
