It wouldn't be understandable. These aren't HS kids, these are professional football players. It is the same reason a guy like Josh McDaniels fails everywhere. You can't be an asshole to your players, they will stop playing for you. 

The race for the bottom has been tight all season. There are about 8-10 teams pretty close.

I disagree, but it could be my military background. Anyone who trashed the chain of command publicly got called out no matter the age.

Back when I was young, NFL coaches and military sergeants had a lot in common. These days, not so much.

A lot's changed.

You can't treat highly paid professional athletes like children. It almost never works.

You can't, but it happens in damn near every sport so you actually can.

 

Disrespect happens in every workplace bro it doesn't matter the pay. That's why I started my own business because I hated people telling me when to clock in and clock out. That crap will motivate you to do better in life when another man disrespects you in front of a bunch of people.

 

It's why we hearing Jones is trying to land on a contender. He was disrespected and he wants a chance to prove himself again on a better roster.

 

What Daboll did was wrong, but it happens so I can't get mad at him when this happens at every workplace.

I have been involved with many Fortune 500 corporate workplaces, whether it be there or elsewhere, the bully boss almost always inevitably fails. 

Because as soon as things go south, every single one of those people is going to stick them.

That's what you are seeing them do to Daboll.

I'm not saying what he is doing is right, I'm saying it happens in the workplace. It doesn't matter if it's a corporate workplace or a factory workplace. Disrespect happens all the time with people who have power. I been embarrassed on the workplace plenty of times. 

 

It's why I wasn't defending Jones. When you don't do your job your boss will embarrass you in front of everyone. Play/Work like trash get treated like trash. Most of the time they just fire you after you worked a full shift lol. My goodness I'm getting flashbacks. So glad I don't have to answer to anyone anymore. Those days were stressful.

Glengarry Glen Ross type speeches aren't so popular anymore.

I had a manager some years back who made a point of saying things like "excuses don't explain and explanations don't excuse" all the time. She liked to push people to the edge 

Lotta people laughed and high fived when she got fired.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      The NFL eats giant bad contracts all the time. I looked and the 3rd starts at 6.7 at pick 67 and 6.1 at pick 96. With the way the NFL cap keeps going up and how they all work the cap it really shouldn't be an issue for any team that can get 1 year out of rookies.  Maybe it would cut down on teams taking giant leaps on guys they shouldn't? This would have got Hurney fired in 3 years lol

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
