Is there better example in national sports journalism of being such a homer as Gantt is for Edwards? He has nothing but doting love for his beloved Armanti. I don't mind writers following certain players for their quote-worthiness or because they're a big name, but what he's done the past couple months largely disgusts me.

Well, sports media is my career. But those I work around for the most part don't even know I'm a Panthers fan. So here, I can enjoy anonymity and not be judged. When I write about teams or players or drivers I like I don't talk to them or write about them from a fan's perspective. But I'm still a sports fan. That doesn't change. But sitting at a game covering it, I don't care who wins and I certainly don't cheer in the press box, that makes me sick.

First of all, that's not even close to true. Second of all, the fans aren't professional sportswriters. They can be as biased as they want.

Darrin Gannt is giving the fans what they want. Anytime someone doesnt slurp the panthers people complain that "nobody likes us". He's just trying to keep you guys happy by slurping a player that you and him both happen to like and both happen to think is already better than Steve Smith

This is a f**king topic about a fan who is sick of Gantt slurping Edwards.

Yes but the majority of the fans are eating it up because they really beleive Edwards is already Steve Smith. Maybe you could write Darin a letter to let him know that there is a fan out there who doesnt apreciate it. Im so sure he'll stop once he hears about it...

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.

      On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
