Fox-guy Sehorn rips Panthers

Former NFL cornerback Jason Sehorn moved to Charlotte recently, but he doesn't have many kind things to say about the local NFL team.

He admits he's prejudiced, as an unabashed John Fox supporter, but he leveled stinging criticism of the Panthers anyway.

"My opinion of that team right now's not very high," Sehorn said during an interview conducted as part of a promotional tour. "When I look at that team and that organization the way they've been run last two years, I don't see a team that's serious about winning. ...

"Right now, the Panthers don't look like a team that wants to make the commitment to win."

Sehorn played for Fox with the New York Giants, and considered joining him here with the Panthers. He said that the main reason he didn't was that he wasn't confident enough in his own abilities to play cornerback, looking for work as a safety instead.

But mostly, he voiced the same frustrations that other Fox supporters have over this season, including the lack of free agent additions or the retention of older players that were part of previous success.

"I know that I'm completely biased," Sehorn said. "But what happened there is tough, because it puts the team in a tough situation. It's hard to go out and compete when you sense there isn't that commitment from ownership.

"Let's face it, the only reason John is still there now is the owner was too cheap to fire him."

Sehorn was promoting a responsible drinking initiative on behalf of Captain Morgan. The liquor company will donate $1 to the First Mate Fund for every fan that uploads a picture of themselves doing the Captain Morgan pose to their Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/CaptainMorganUSA). They hope to raise $1 million to support alcohol awareness and safe-driving initiatives.

"It's the holiday season, and people are going to drink, and we want them to drink responsibly," Sehorn said.

Not a big fan of his but he is saying what everyone outside of the organization has been saying for the past year or two.

When a few people say it you can ignore it, but when everyone is saying the same thing you have to consider that perception could be reality.

i agree. You can consider it regardless. It doesn't matter how many people say it. Still doesn't make them right or wrong.

Right. Just because someone says something doesn't make it so. But when everyone is saying the same thing you have to at least decide either it is a conspiracy or perhaps they are right. And this year most every talking head good or bad has said the same thing. Our record proves there might be something to it as well.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
