Though there's a chance that Panthers receiver Dwayne Jarrett will file a grievance claiming that the Panthers can't discipline him in any way for his second DUI arrest, Panthers coach John Fox opted to call it like it is when discussing the situation on Sirius NFL Radio.

Appearing with Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan of Movin' the Chains, Fox was blunt. "I think we've got a situation here where we do a lot of things for our guys to make sure that doesn't happen and he couldn't follow the protocol so we're going to move on," Fox said.

"It's amazing," Kirwan responded, "and this is about every guy who doesn't get it. What's up with these guys, John? It's like raising kids. You think you get the message across and you come home and it's still the same problem as the night before."

"Well, I think anytime, you know, just we're a part of society and it just gets more publicized, I think, when you're a star athlete," Fox said. "But you're going to have these issues. We're just a portion of society and, you know, it happens every day, you just don't hear it as much in other facets of it. It's part of people that make mistakes. You know, I think, there's a lot of guys that are doing it right that sometimes we don't hear quite as much about but unfortunately this is one that he wasn't doing right."

As we explained earlier today, paragraph 11 of the standard player contract permits a team to cut a player if "he has engaged in personal conduct reasonably judged by Club to adversely affect or reflect on Club."

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
