In 10 years you can add “ The same league that used certain planted referees in key games to control storylines and fix scores for Vegas in exchange for silence on the fixed storylines? That league?”

Oh, people can bet their ass that story is coming.  I guarantee it.  We all have seen it in plain sight, ESPECIALLY us as Panther fans.

The same league that quietly blackballed Kaepernick for expressing his opinions about social justice, equality, equity, and police brutality - while simultaneously deciding to double down on fakeness and force teams to participate in public gestures of police support and standing for anthems seemingly in response to Kaepernick's stated issues.  That league?

 

Agreed with everything except this.

Kaepernick was NOT blackballed for doing that.

He wasn't picked by any team because he stunk as a QB at that point. 

He was offered later on a tryout on a team(I forget which) but he blew them off.

 

Look, I don't want to turn this into a Kaepernick discussion (the health of Damar takes precedence) but I just wanted to point that out.

Kaep had 16 passing touchdown to just 4 interceptions in his final year in just 11 starts. We haven’t had a QB that productive in Carolina since MVP Cam. Kyle Allen, Taylor H, Teddy Bridgewater, PJ Walker, Baker Mayfield in Carolina have never had a season as efficient as that. 
 

Sam Darnold is having that year in Carolina right now and it’s making folks here ask if Sam should just be the guy going forward at least into next season. No team would touch Kap for years and I think most folks can look at the tape and see a guy like Nathan Peterman and Zach Wilson shouldn’t have jobs over CK. He’s performed better than more than half the backups in the league for sure. Cmon.

He was blackballed for his protests.

He ended up being away so long because of his hubris and the length of time he was away from the game.

I will always support Colin's right to protest the way he did.

I will always think he is a mediocre QB and a whiny bitch as a player.

Kaps teams went 2-6 and 1-10 with under .60 completions his last 2 years. What 6 TDs and 5 Ints the 2nd to last year?

I personally think it's both his play and the FU by a large portion of the poplulation, not just teams. He didn't look like a great option to start and that had a lot to do with it because he wouldn't take a non-starter job.

The entire situation is a case study on how to fug up on every level possible. He got blackballed but he also made himself vulnerable and his enemies jumped all over it like who they absolutely are.

I think the best summary I've heard of Kaepernick's situation was from someone who said that NFL teams will put up with an awful lot if they think you can help them win games.

If your playing skills aren't as good, their tolerance level goes way way down.

If Tom Brady had protested, he would still be in the NFL playing somewhere.  If Will Grier protested, he would not be in the NFL.

I might be misremembering but wasn't it some War Vet who gave him the
"kneeling during the anthem"  Idea?

Well we're waiting for more news (good news) on the Damar front.

Someone said he still wasn't breathing on his own despite showing improvement....

Lemme see if I can find the quote from yesterday. 
 

From a local broadcaster so take it as you will. The big hurdle right now is getting him breathing on his own fully. If they can do that. Then they can try to wake him up.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
