I can’t prove that I’m right, but I know plenty of powerful people in football who share this opinion – and. like me, they probably hate to see the Panthers rewarded with the No. 1 overall pick.

Stopped reading at that point

Maybe the National media really do hate us :lol:

"By doing neither, Richardson put the Panthers in obvious lame-duck mode, something which typically results in disaster in a league in which players are asked to summon a pronounced degree of emotional commitment. From Bill Cowher’s final year in Pittsburgh to Marvin Lewis’ lost 2010 season in Cincinnati, this type of arrangement tends to suck the life out of an organization and engender a going-through-the-motions vibe."

Exactly. But they got paaaiiiidd riight???

Please dear god let Beason, Dwill know how to forgive.

Something he is wrong about, these players for sure deserve the #1 pick. Who cares about JR.

His whole argument revolves around 3 points: we didn't replace Peppers, we didn't buy Fox out/fire him and Richardson is spearheading the labor dispute.

1. Charles Johnson is apparently invisible.

2. It's easy to say "eat 6 million dollars you cheap bastard" when you're not actually the one paying for anything. Fans who buy tickets can complain here, not a blogger from Yahoo who has probably never seen more than 10 minutes of highlights from a Panthers game in his life.

3. This is the only point that has some merit. Still, this doesn't mean he tanked anything, it means he's a businessman who disagrees with a labor union. There's a shocker.

I guess it's more fun to villainize the owner here, but maybe he really thought Fox, who's never had a record with less than 7 wins, would make this season a little more competitive, rather than sulking through half of it.

The writer can be proven right simply by fact it took last year to get a Panthers logo on the BofA field. He cares more for the NFL as an organization than he does the Panthers as a team.

Does the writer have a chip on his shoulders? Yep. Do a lot of fans? Yep, and the stupid-ass apology JR gave to the fans was an admission of guilt.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
